I’ve been given a hamper! And the even bigger bonus is that it was never actually meant for me. It was bought for a couple who left the country before it could be given to them. It sat in my husband’s office for a couple of months, gathering dust, before he finally did the right […]

In my kitchen this month, it seems it’s all about big. In my kitchen there’s now no excuse for running late. I bought this big clock which is not yet on the wall of my kitchen because I’m waiting for Carl to do a ‘boy’s job’ and drill a hole into the cement-rendered brick wall so […]

I can’t believe it’s the second month of the year already. I really should take down my Christmas lights. On with the show… In My Kitchen I have booze. It’s not all mine. But duty free alcohol is very cheap in Port Vila so we stocked up on a few things. I’ll confess to the […]

You can all stop holding your breath because yes, it has arrived. All good things come to those who wait and so here is my brand-spanking-new food processor. Barely was it unwrapped on Christmas morning when it was placed on the bench, plugged in and run until the motor ran hot. And it’s been in […]

In my kitchen is a broken window. Can you guess who did it? Yes, it was Archie. He’s lost three house keys since March and a few nights ago he came stumbling home in the early hours of the morning and realised (no surprise) that he didn’t have a key. Rather than knock on the […]

Well, that’s it for Halloween so down here in Oz, (as we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving), our next big event in the calendar is Christmas. On with the Christmas baking. In my kitchen I have dried fruits and glace fruits and nuts soaking in brandy and orange juice for the Christmas cakes I will bake next […]

In my kitchen I have a pretty pink box. It was given to me by my good friend Rach who is a midwife at one of Sydney’s private hospitals and this box had been given to her by the wife of a certain Sydney billionaire. She had helped deliver their third child. Everyone who helped […]

September and Spring already! It’s such a lovely feeling to see the back of winter. In my kitchen I have a very special balsamic vinegar given to me by Tania. In Tania’s blog posts she often mentions different types of balsamic vinegars and I have often felt like a Philistine by comparison in that my […]

I haven’t done an ‘In My Kitchen’ post for a while; mostly because I didn’t want to bore you with the mundane items that fill my kitchen in order to fill the mouths of hungry uni student and reluctant eight-year olds. Not terribly exciting! But this month I do have a few things worth sharing. […]
