Paul’s Caul – the same old shit… and helping out an old friend
PAUL’S CAUL Same old shit This sounds ominous… is Paul about to start ranting about the state of affairs in world politics?

green papaya salad with nam jim
There’s been a couple of factors, or forces of evil, or small gypsy hobbits working together in a gallant effort to stymie my ability to fulfill my obligations as a pro blogger at the moment. Firstly. As will often happen in the land of head chef-dom, the beast has dictated that I work extra hard…

Tuna and pasta bake for Kel (and anyone else who has been wronged by a terrible tuna bake in their time)
A tuna and pasta bake Sure. A tuna and pasta bake is something your mum makes, or something you get at the canteen when you’re at uni, or something you make in Home Ec at high school. Well it was… until today. I just made one and I realised that it’s the kind of thing…
