Heading home for lunch today I spied that half the street was closed. A tree-lopping crew were busy taking down a Queensland Box Tree on our street. Im not sure if the recent storms had shaken it from it’s foundation or whether it had become rotten. I certainly didn’t notice it being sick. After a tasty steak for lunch I drove past the crew as they were finishing up. They had kinly cut all the limbs and trunk into pieces…
At 7.50am I carted a tonne of bricks to Welland Waste Depot to say goodbye to the old bbq. An exchange of $48 to the dump man saw me first in line to the rubble pit to discard the old red bricks and dream of exciting things to come. Note to self, next time I decide to demolish something I will get a mini skip delivered directly to the house. Unloading and locking broken bricks isnt for me.
Pizza, it’s my favourite food. Probably no surprises for those people that know me. I think it’s just the perfect vehicle for any of my other favourite foods like cheese, pepperoni, tomatoes, basil, prawns to catch a ride on. It can be found anywhere in the world from Yangshou to Moshi, from Beulah Park to the East Village and everywhere in-between.

I’d tried to save it to no avail, and with the entire area needing a re-model it was time to consult the sledgehammer of destiny. The kids were excited, an opportunity for parent sponsored destruction – bring it! The only rules were, don’t kill each other and you can…
A great night at Traditional Brick Ovens for a Pizza Master Class with Tom from Pizza E Mozzarella Bar. Learnt some good techniques, enjoyed a load of pizza and met some equally excited pizza peeps. We all had the chance to knead and prepare our own pizzas, with 13 people participating that was a lot of pizza to eat and make. I created a simple pie of rosemary, anchovies, chilli and garlic oil and it went down a treat. I’d…
On a cool Summer’s day i headed to my friends dad’s cattle farm on a mission to catch Yabbies. We met earlier to sort nets, ice and beer for our day’s mission and arrived at the farmgate ready to catch our tasty quarry. With the nets set in 3 of the dams we waited and enjoyed a cold beer and went exploring with camera in hand. A few beers later and some pics of the farm surrounds, shearing shed and…
