Share waste – are you concerned with excess waste?
There is something else that is rocking my world this week!

There are actually some SOLUTIONS, which are both exciting and fun!! Green waste... Read More

The quest to eat healthy at cafes and restaurants
So, it is Saturday morning, and I have just made my first coffee of the morning, which I am drinking while I am still in my pyjamas, – sacrilege , hehe… 12 pm will be here before I know it, and I am considering where to go to grab a nice weekend lunch. But where... Read More
A moment of reflection – what makes you happy?
Does evolution and human biology ever amaze the hell out of you? I hope that a proportion of people are conscious of the fact that we humans, are millions of years in the making. And we may use machines, which need to be charged and powered, but as human beings we compute, sometimes emotionally, sometimes... Read More
Low carb or keto – should you consider it?
I think that I stand corrected. I have always been scathing of low-carb or keto diets (and paleo is a whole other extreme, although on the same spectrum, I guess). I understood that the weight that was lost on these diets was ‘false weight loss’ – because rapid weight loss at the beginning of these... Read More
Winter aphelion – astronomical distances and Earth’s orbit

Roast chicken with brussels sprouts, artichokes and olives – CSIRO
I am sharing this post because I feel like I want to cook with someone special. It is the sunset of a relationship, those moments before it disintegrates, perhaps, and I am holding on, to some kind of connection. Let’s cook! I am drinking white wine tonight. There was half a bottle left from the... Read More
Pumping Pomegranate vs Sencha Peach – not my cup of tea
It was so great to get two free cubes of tea with my Earl Grey and Chai at T2 this morning. There was a choice between Creme Brûlée (black tea with hazelnut and cream), Gorgeous Geisha (a mix of sencha with strawberries and cream) and Pumping Pomegranate. I chose two cubes of Pumping Pomegranate, because... Read More
Roasted oregano chicken – decadence and salad
It is always so much fun to get a new recipe book and discover a new array of tasty treats for the first time. I have been eating out of the CSIRO Low Carb Diet book (one) for a few weeks now. I am still discovering new recipes that I have never tried before. It... Read More
