I can't think of anything meaningful to say this week, so instead here are three random and unrelated facts about me: My 5 year-old son and I are making a pompom. That is, I'm making the pom pom while he gets the wool nicely tangled and strewn up everywhere. It's for a kindy project - all the kindy kids' pompoms are going to be hung from a tree.

The oil gives this slice a lovely crisp crust … [Read more...]

I'm doing two cooking demonstrations and guest speaking so there's a bit to organise, but I'm excited to have this opportunity and I'll be blogging about it next week.
