A moment of silence for the kitchen that was, if you please.
For it (with its high bench tops, wooden cabinet doors and worn linoleum flooring) is no more.
We’re most of the way through the process of installing a replacement. ”Most of the way” being my best estimate of its actual progress, seeing as the tricky stuff has all come to ahead and there does not appear to be much to show for a day’s work anymore.
So covered in a layer of fine dust are we.
strawberry & rhubarb galette
I used to be a singer.
Not the garden-variety “belter of show tunes in the shower” type of singer, and certainly not the “queue for hours to get your face on national telly” kind of singer either.
A semi-decent singer that was sometimes paid to attend community festivals way out west and to sing old pop songs to a dedicated audience of children and a far less dedicated audience of passers-by.
We did covers of 90s pop and rock. When no-one was paying too much attention, we’d do “Mmm-bop” by Hanson and laugh about it afterwards. We did Chirstmas Carols in various parks around Sydney suburbia in the stifling heat.

It’s November and I’m posting a pumpkin recipe.
Firstly, November. Who let that happen people? I demand an answer. Because I’m almost certain that the last thing I remember was tumbling through July and landing with an almighty crash at the end of August. I’ve only just recovered from the shock of realising that we were half way through the year when – I mean really.
It’s almost Christmas!
I’m posting a pumpkin recipe and it’s almost Christmas.
(In some parts of America, I’m sure this would be sacrilege).
homemade crumpets
Toasty warm bed.
It’s my favourite place in the entire house (kitchen included), and especially on the frosty winter mornings we’ve been having of late. But if there’s one thing that will have me humming down the stairs, it’s the promise of breakfast.
A slow breakfast. The type that involves multiple mugs of milky tea and something warm to munch on. The type that you don’t need to get changed out of your flannelette pyjamas for. The type that involves crumpets.
