  • Broken

    Me: I just now got full. My brain just finally got the message that I don’t need to eat anything else… a full hour after we finished eating dinner. That’s how long it takes.Snook: Your insides are broken.

  • 500 Hats

    The 500 Hats of Bartholomew HowardOr something. I had some scrap wool lying around so I decided to knit some hats on the weekend. The first I call the “Craig David Minimalist Ribbed Beanie,” so named because it tends to be worn on smooth RnB singers with tiny goatees and it’s so plain it doesn’t…

  • 50 Foodie Things to Do

    50 Foodie Things to Do in Sydney. By my pathetic count, I’ve only crossed six of these off the list so far. We did the DJ’s Food Hall thing for my birthday on my first visit to Australia; we ate at Bennelong for my birthday in 2002 (though I don’t think it was “Guillaume’s” yet).…

  • Race Car Ya-Ya’s

    Race Car Ya-Ya’sAmy has posted a couple pictures from Rob‘s birthday outing yesterday, including him screaming around the track at Eastern Creek Karts and a truly demented one of me slurping down ranch dressing. The go-karts were pretty fun, though I was a little scared at first. We had to wear full-on coveralls and helmets…

  • Deep in the suburbs…

    Deep in the suburbs…We’re so STUFFED. That was surreal. Chili’s Oz is exactly the same as the US (but with slightly less crap on the walls). And YAY, we got chips with ranch!

  • Una’s Breakfast

    Remember that fatty-boom-batty breakfast we had at Una’s yesterday? In a lovely bit of foodblog coincidence, Grab Your Fork went there this very morning and photographed the Snook’s exact breakfast. Can’t you just smell the rosti?
