Pavlova is always a good idea. Whether it’s for festive feasting, family gatherings or just because… pavlova, the marvellous meringue is a staple on dessert tables Down Under, and though it appears infrequently on our own, it’s always been a favourite of the kids. With my ooky spooky duo busy conjuring up cobwebs for Halloween, […] Read more…
We’re raving fans of Dunedin and its impressive food scene. We’ve lavished praise on its scones and soufflés, extolled the virtues of its bagels and bombe Alaska and written sonnets of salivating praise on everything from its dumplings to its degustation dining. But sometimes in our excitement we forget the obvious and inescapable, and in […] Read more…
Something wicked this way comes. Yes, Halloween is on its way. And though once – Queen of Darkness though I am – I dismissed Halloween as an overly commercial American holiday and rolled my heavily-kohled eyes disparagingly in its general direction, I am a complete convert. My little ghouls on the other dismembered hand were […] Read more…
When Raffles heard that brand new animated kids series, Legend Quest, was a kind of Mexican fantasy comedy-horror period mash up, he did what every good taco and TV addict would, and immediately settled in to binge-watch the entire series. And for once having him sitting square eyed in front of the box didn’t get too […] Read more…
With a few weeks break between our adventures; it is time for me to catch up on writing about our travels while the kids catch up on a little journeying of the imaginary kind. And where better to start their holiday from holidaying than in the crystalline splendour of the Heartestone Troll Market … with […] Read more…
On a scale from one to ten, Raffle’s obsession with Harry Potter comes in at a wizardly nine and three quarters. So enchanted by Harry and his hocusy pocusy pals is my wee muggle that he’d already read all seven books twice before J.K Rowling’s newest ode to Harry, The Cursed Child, hit the bookshelves […] Read more…
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Sugarpuff remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the mum: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Sugarpuff. “You must be,” said the mum, “or you couldn’t be related to us.” OK, so I may have taken a […] Read more…
Most parents would be familiar with Internet superstar, Lunchbox Dad Beau Coffron, he of the edible lunchbox masterpieces that make my kid’s sambos look spectacularly unappetising … embarrassingly so. San Francisco-based businessman and father-of-three Beau has been in Australia to help launch Sunraysia’s Lunchbox Love campaign and their healthy new range of delicious all organic juices, to encourage families […] Read more…
As if the wrinkles and middle age spread weren’t giveaway enough, I’m about to really show my age! Though Raffles & Sugarpuff are convinced I grew up in the ice age riding woolly mammoths to school, I’m actually a product of the Age of Aquarius… which may explain my penchant for sipping on tree hugging bleeding […] Read more…
Halloween is lurking creepily around the corner. And whose fault is that? The Irish! The jolly green giant of a country that gave us leprechauns, U2 and whiskey. Not to mention Guinness, a plethora of uses for the potato, herds of dead-armed dancers and soul cakes. What I hadn’t realised until recently is that one […] Read more…
Halloween is on it’s way and the kids are excited. They are so busy prepping for all the ghoulish excitement, they have decided to countdown to the nefarious night of nights with a monstrous movie marathon. All in the name of research, of course! So I’ve whipped them up a bunch of Creepy Crawly Cookies (recipe below) […] Read more…
We’ve been holed up at Casa Eats World this weekend, unable to escape. This is due mostly to the fact that somebody broke Mr Eats World. Yes, broke. In to pieces. You see, his colleagues had one of those brilliant ideas that only seem to occur to boys that saw him participating in a “team […] Read more…
