– Adele Horin
Anyone who disregards the countless benefits of the Kindle because the thrill of turning a paper page is gone needs to build up their tolerance for excitement. I have hundreds of books but there is no denying that instant downloads of millions of books and access to millions of new...
Being Queensland, Brissy has quite a few racists...
Listening to this woman on the bus it occurred to me that not only was she a racist, she was worse, she was an art critic too. “Dots, I could paint dots. It’s childish!”
Please punch me out of my misery.
#ThingsWhitePeopleInvented that racism is over and people should just forget the past.

Perhaps my sour cream was just a little too strong compared to the variety Americans use. Our creams are quite different. Next time I’ll reduce it by half, if not more.
One good thing to come out of it was I tried a new...
My avocado ice cream
Avocado ice cream is pretty common these days but I’ve never made it before. Today some mates are holding an Ice-cream-athon so decided I’d give it a go for my contribution. Only one stall at the markets had big ripe Hass avs so I was pretty lucky.
I’m pretty happy with the taste and texture (especially for a non-egg base ice cream). Sweet enough to be a delicious...
