It’s already looking a lot like Christmas.
Holly in every hall.
But the prettiest sight you’ll see,
are carolers that will be in the Brisbane City mall.
Just in case you weren’t singing that like I was it was my attempt at changing ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ into a Brisbane version.
The Brisbane Christmas tree
As much as I hate to admit it, I am seriously addicted to my iPhone and I am guessing I’m not the only one. I use it to keep my day in order, entertain me in waiting rooms, inspire me at dinner time, tell me what I need to buy, give me a weather report, shop, talk, tweet and so much more. Being a food blogger I also use it for a manner of food-related purposes from research to shopping to converting measurements. Continue reading
Eagle Farm markets
I really don’t know what I used to do with myself on Sunday mornings before the Eagle Farm Markets started up back in April. Now my Sundays start with a little stroll, nanna trolley in tow, to stock up on a week’s worth of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood and lots of baked goodies from the markets. The Eagle Farm markets have every food your heart could desire along with lots of other trinkets, clothing and gift ideas. Continue reading

The Brisbane restaurant scene doesn’t have all that many Japanese restaurants (sushi shops aside) compared to other cuisines but it is home to one of the best I’ve been to – Sono Japanese Restaurant.

Halloumi stuffed capsicum
I have recently developed an addiction. Not a bad addiction but an addiction nonetheless. It seems I am addicted to halloumi. Not just any halloumi but Olympus halloumi. Recently, I tried a few different brands but for squeakiness, saltiness, flavour, the way it cooks and value for money, Olympus won hands down. It also scored extra points because it’s made right here in Brisbane and in fact is the only cheese factory within five kilometers of the Brisbane CBD. Continue reading
