I love a good potato bake. I love the layered one with sliced potatoes, lashings of cream (and garlic, I add lots of garlic) and topped with grated cheese that is then baked in the oven until it’s done and there are lovely browned bits around the edges to scrape out of the dish later…
One of the side effects of the past few months has been losing my interest in just about everything, including (very sadly for me) cooking. My gorgeous girlfriends helped out by providing a wonderful meal delivery service so no one actually starved during this time, but I lost one of my favourite pastimes. I’m happy…
Minecraft is huge. If you aren’t sure what it is, check out this or this or just google it. If the young people in your household are already Minecraft fans, you might like to consider this:
I went looking for chocolate for this post. There is so much chocolate on the interwebs! Anyway, I thought this video on making chocolate boxes was both chocolatey and gifty – making it very appropriate for a Christmas post! Enjoy.
This weekend we headed up to the Blue Mountains for a few hours getaway. We didn’t leave until Saturday morning and were home just after lunch on Sunday so it might not really qualify as a weekend away – but we managed to pack lots in regardless. First up was a visit to the Norman…
My lovely Italian colleague brought me some of her homemade pork & fennel sausages during the week – along with amazing photos of the sausage making extravaganza that had occurred at her home over the weekend.

On Mothers Day this year, Bookworm organised to get me a book about macarons. We love macarons in Chez FamilyLibrarian and I must have said at some time or other than I would like to have a go at making them. Anyway, this lovely book turned up on Mothers Day (with awesome wrapping too, wouldn’t…
Tonight we’re having Crock Pot Lasagne (thanks @jobeaz for the heads up!) – I haven’t made it before, I’ll let you know how it turns out! One of the reasons lasagne and a few other garlic intensive recipes have appeared on my menu plan this fortnight is that I discovered that some of my yummy Anarel…
There’s nothing quite like deciding that today is a good day to get some study done to bring out the inner procrastibaker in me. Procrastibaking is a term coined by Bookworm last year while she was doing the HSC – we ate lots of cakes, biscuits and muffins last year! I feel some pressure to…
