recipe | chocolate protein power balls

I don’t pass judgement on the things I eat based on whether they’re healthy or not. I simply eat things that I like, be it quinoa or burgers or um, an ice cream filled Krispy Kreme donut. If something’s healthy, I suppose in the deep recesses of my mind, it gets an extra brownie point, but in all honesty, I don’t ever eat something “just because it’s healthy”.

Est. Restaurant and not wanting to be dooced

steamed murray cod fillet, shaved abolone, snow peas, black fungi, ginger, green shallot vinaigrette

I say this often, and I mean it even more often: I never ever associate my work with my social media.

Who am I to complain? I certainly married the right guy! :D

shout out to the short girls!

Happy Valentine’s Hallmark Day, everyone! May today be filled with lots of utter nonsense generated by the most genius greeting card company ever, but above all, may your day be filled with love. Mine, well, my day kind of sucks because I have six straight hours of calls until 11pm tonight. But I did wake up to this adorable card this morning…

Gotta love us short girls. We’re just too damn cute, right? ;)

bite sized: quinoa and seaweed and a vent at Australia Post

I had to go to the post office today. I work from home and yet Every. Single. Time. we receive a parcel, it comes in the form of a “sorry we missed you” card and “oh hey, please now go out of your own way to pick it up from the post office”. Do you think, maybe, just maybe, the postman didn’t even try buzz me?

I think… definitely.
