It’s that time again.

The time where a month has passed, and I feel I really should be adding to this blog. Of course, 2 bourbons and an episode of SG-1 later; it’s gone! Err. The feeling that is.

Ways with words

This was brought to my attention by Rod, a fellow Apple admirer from the sunny climes of Melbourne. Thanks Rod! The Washington Post’s Style Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Another day – or not

About 8am, the phone rings. I answer it, to hear a duet of ‘Happy Birthday’. Quite a reasonable rendition, too – in fact, I’d rate it better than what I’d heard on NZ Idol this time around. This birthday was brilliant. Good food, good drink, and great company…oh – and a Wild Turkey shirt. To …

Once more

…we had a guest chef. This time the honour and glory go to Minh – a friend of Jacqui’s who also enjoys food as much as we do. I’m not sure why, but people keep putting their hand up to come around and cook at our (very casual) dinner parties – do we look underfed? …

Food, glorious food!

The scene: Jacqui and I had Sarah and Julie over for dinner last night. The plan: Jacqui would take care of dinner, I would take care of dessert. The reality… Marty called last night when we got home, and asked if we were coming up to Cesar’s – his staff were looking after everything, and …
