The new black–the 20s
I've just noticed that the 1920s is the new black. It's everywhere. Boardwalk Empire, the new (and very hyped) Underbelly Razor and my favourite of all Phryne Fisher novels by Aussie author Kerry Greenwood. Now I'd just like to take this [...]
What’s wrong with Masterchef?
This is my Gen X Girl column from this week's edition of Savvy magazine in the Townsville Bulletin. So Kate won this year’s Masterchef and now there’s a great big black hole in my 7:30pm viewing schedule. I know there are a lot of you out [...]
One minute peanut butter dessert cake
