That’s the only photo I have on my camera from Saturday night. It really gives one a sense of the vibe at the party, yeah? Stacey, AKA The Veggie Mama accepted my offer of a sofa bed and popped over in between the Voices of 2013 Masterclass and the Launch Party to have a shower, [...]
Meatless Monday ~ Chilli Tomato Paste Pasta
I realised today whilst preparing this post that my meatless meals can lean toward the pasta dish, and that may not fare well with the gluten-free crowd. But anyone who’s on top of their gluten free diet ought to know that there are some easy pasta substitutes and today’s pasta sauce would go particularly well [...]
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day ~ 17th May 2013
I love me a celebrity chef but I love me even more a celebrity chef who harnesses their public profile truly for the good of the public. Jamie Oliver is OUT there man, not only in the lead but in the middle of it. Like most fans of Jamie, I started watching him on The [...]
Top5 ~ Inflammation
The Five Cardinal Signs of Inflammation: 1. Heat (calor) kills micbrobes, preventing infection of the injured tissue or spread of infection into the systemic circulation. 2. Redness (rubor) is due to an immediate and temporary constriction of vessels in the area of injury, followed by a dilation of these vessels causing a flux of blood [...]

Mother’s Day (365 days of the year!)
Today is officially Mother’s Day, but unofficially it’s the one hundred and thirty first Mother’s Day of 2013. I mean c’mon Ladies – who doesn’t flop down onto the couch after tomorrow’s lunches have been made and fist-pump themselves for being F*CKING AWESOME! …Or is that just Moi? My Mum has seven children, one from [...]
Oestrogen Dominance // Hormonal Imbalance
With Mother’s Day nigh upon us I got to thinking about the female reproductive system, seeing as well – that’s where motherhood starts. That plus my female reproductive system is busy being reproductive and yeah I’m suffering the hormonal rollercoaster that goes along with that. Seriously, I can’t remember if I was this tired or [...]
Plump up the Jam!
I’ve taken to making a weekly batch of compote – because it’s an easy way to use seasonal produce, it makes for a versatile finished product and when you overlook the tablespoon or two of sugar it’s mostly fruit! Last week I made plum, rhubarb and sultana with vanilla: And this week I made spiced [...]
Top5 Time Out
I believe that if you look up “tired” in the dictionary you might very well find a picture of me. This photo was taken on November 6th, 2009 (SP was born on October 25th). I have been tired pretty much ever since. If you are a parent, especially of the mother type… then you’re hearing [...]
