One of my very first post, almost 6 years ago now, was how I so wish that I’d been born a sister from an Italian Mister. Well, actually Greek or Swedish would have been fine too. Anything, more multicultural than my 6th gen Aussie Scottish stock. Absolutely, anything. Now I’m getting older and wiser and learning…
I am so loving getting to know our two Scoop Summer Subs, Laura and Lauren (try saying that quickly 10 times on a Google+ Hangout). Both of them are brimming with talent and ideas, so I felt very confident to hand this month’s Recipe Redux over to Laura. The theme is a cherished childhood food memory…
Can you imagine going to Queensland and not getting sand between your toes? Mr Surfer Dude would certainly not allow it. But after the Problogger Training Event last weekend on the Gold Coast I travelled inland, rather than heading straight to the beach. And atop an extinct volcano fell in love with the beautiful hinterland and fresh produce of Tamborine Mountain. So I…
Sand and surf. Yes, this is Queensland. But just like the hipster bloggers spoke of at the Problogger Training Event, there are riches to be had when you wonder off the well trodden path.

Last week I was fortunate to speak to a group of colleagues in Brisbane about social media for dietitians. And one of the main messages I hoped I got across was about blogging and social media for good. That is, I challenged the room of mainly novices, to think outside the stereotypical celebrity status updates and…
As we still reel from our own natural disasters in Australia and New Zealand, our attention turns to Japan. And as so many of us feel compelled to ‘do something’ this week I’m joining fellow bloggers to raise funds for relief. Let me show you a few ways you may like to help as I share…
Have you been watching the new episodes of Masterchef ? Well, I now have Miss Seven-budding-cordon-bleu reminding me each night. So I’ve been catching more TV than usual. And despite the formulaic feel of series 2, there are some strong highlights. One is watching with my iphone twitter stream on, following all the hilarious #Masterchef tweets. But my…
