Things I won’t miss about this election campaign
Only one more sleep to go. Only one more sleep till you cast your vote and we find out who our PM is. Will it be Julia Gillard? Will it be Tony Abbott? Whomever it is I just hope you vote properly and ignore the advice of that idiot Mark Latham [...]
Underweight models, Jennifer Hawkins and other fattist propaganda
It was my husband who first brought it to my attention. "I'm a bit concerned about Jen. She's looking a bit skinny." To whom was he referring you might wonder. From the personal concern you might assume it was my daughter, except for the fact [...]
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
American movies and TV are responsible for how we should view life's changes. Have a baby? Yes, the appropriate thing to do is spend all night nursing, pacing and placating the screaming child instead of putting it in it's cot and practising [...]
Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?
Bees. Honeypot. That is me when I see articles called things like 12 Stay Young Secrets. You can read the original post here, but I've summarised it for you. How many weeks an hour do you exercise?Ideally 2.5 hours. Yay I do that which [...]

She may cook, but does she eat?
That Sophie Dahl is a jack of all trades isn't she. Not only was she a plus-sized model, then a superskinny model, she is also an author and now she's thrown down the gauntlet to reigning champ Nigella Lawson in the cooking stakes. For Sophie now [...]
5 minute chocolate cake
I consider this post more a community service than a recipe. Why? Because you get a fairly decent chocolate cake in five minutes. Who's doesn't need chocolate cake for PMS emergencies, heartbreak and binge eating? So here it is the famous Five [...]
Master Religion
I fancy myself as a bit of a cook, a chef? Maybe a masterchef even? Well, I can pretty well cook anything. On impulse I invited friends for lunch on Sunday. Forgot that it was a public holiday and all the shops were shut. But I made focaccia from [...]
Does your plate say “Slow down fatso”?
Just what we all need, a talking plate that nags us when we're eating too fast. Is it not bad enough that we're told to eat less fat (or is that more this week), or that carbs are good for us, or maybe they're bad, can't remember, now we've got [...]
