Last night my dinner was this salad on its own. Except I didn’t have any baby spinach to go with it. Tonight Adam wanted to bbq some steak so I when I went to the shops to acquire said steak I grabbed some spinach, pears and cheese and made it again. Because it is yummy. (I had steak and corn on the cob and jacket baked potato with sour cream too.) Pear and blue cheese salad 2 big handfuls of baby spinach1 or 2 crisp pears cut into bite sized piecescrumbled blue cheese (last night I used King Island Lighthouse … Continue reading Pear and blue cheese salad
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, it’s kind of my little bit of Fat Activism and the reasons for doing it have been written about by a bunch of other people much more eloquently than I’m up to doing at present (or ever probably). The short version* is that I’m fat, I’m ok with that and I’m going to share pictures of myself because it helps to drive home the message that fat people are, well, people. People like me. People who are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity and not vilified, objectified … Continue reading On being fat and visible

Hosted by Unknown Mami Today I took Caitlin to the Opera House to hear Joss Whedon speak about his writing and directing career – from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Dr Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog and everything in between and beyond. Joss was fascinating and brilliant and funny and wonderful and when he tackle-hugged Wil Anderson* at the end of the show I was really rather surprised Wil didn’t fall over. The image of Wil with Joss Whedon’s legs wrapped around his waist is one that will stay with me forever. After the talk/interview/QandA session we retired to the bar at … Continue reading Sundays in my City – A visit from Joss Whedon

Hosted by Unknown Mami During the July school holidays my mum and I took the kids to Cockatoo Island for the day. Cockatoo Island, a former convict prison and shipyard, is the largest island in Sydney Harbour and when we went to visit it was being used as one of the venues for the 17th Biennale of Sydney to host 120 works by 56 artists. So we got history and art in the one go. A free ferry service was provided for the Biennale and we did the stand outside and freeze while looking over the side at the water … Continue reading Sundays in my City – Cockatoo Island
