Stir fried water spinach and store bought dumplings for #easytastygood dinner

Oft times when it is really warm out I don’t do much. I might sit in the pool for a bit, tighten a screw or oil a hinge (not a euphemism) and maybe watch a show, but that’s pretty much it. I can’t even be bothered to write very much words. I just cannot be…

Humour, Australia Day and Hipster by proxy

Um, I have a question. Have people, like the total generalization of the human race, just lost their fucking sense of humour? Did we all just get so damn middle aged and serious? Have we all forgotten how much fun it can be to just have a good goddam laugh at our own selves, or…

Lester and Earl… a place to get barbecue and booze at Palm Beach

Jennee used the interweb super highway to locate another American style barbecue joint for us to try at the Gold Coast, so indeed we did drive there to consume said smoky sustenance from the hickory tainted pits. After what would’ve possibly been a half days journey by horse and cart, we pulled into the exit…

JR’s Smokehouse Barbecue – more than just a smokehouse barbecue… actually, it is totally just a smokehouse barbecue and a damn fine one at that

This has been a long anticipated date for me. I have been very excited since hearing that Gold Coast to Byron Bay caterer, JRs Smokehouse Barbecue, had moved into their own little shop front in Coolangatta, just an hour up the road from us. Initially we ventured up here on the wrong days (this place…

Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai Noodles for your New Years Resolution

If making Pad Thai was your New Years resolution then this is a story for you… read on my friend, read on. It’s time to say goodbye to 2015; the old suit, last years fashion and the out of date milk… or maybe just plain old out of date, and hello to 2016; the new…

Christmas Pate for New Years Eve

Just three things; You probably still have a few Christmas leftovers. You’re probably going to need something to snack tonight on as you fill your face with ridiculous amounts of cheap domestic champagne (or should that be bubbles? I know it should definitely be bubbles. Not Mr Bubbles though – he was a very dirty…
