Summertime and sweet strawberries for us

Summertime in the UK means juicy and delicious strawberries. Big, red and soft, strawberries here actually taste like they smell — sweet. They will forever remind me of warm sunshine and cool summers in London. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

A happy Christmas to you all!

Cooking up a Korean feast soon

It’s been a while since I’ve cooked for friends. Even longer since I’ve cooked Korean. Usually it’s my husband who cooks for guests. But this time he asked if I could cook a few Korean dishes. I have planned my menu. Japchae (noodles). Bulgogi (marinated bbq beef and pork). Dakjjim (chicken stew). The thing about […]

Twist

For this week’s dip into the old Daily Post Photo Challenge archive, Krista highlights the word “Twist”. From the unexpected to the surprising, she says it is full of meaning. I turn to my husband and ask, “What’s the first thing you think of when I say twist?” “Ice cream,” he says. It was a […]

Habit

My daily cup of coffee. It’s a difficult habit to break. I enjoy it so much, I’m not sure I want to! 😁 For Becky’s January #SquareUp and the old Daily Post Photo Challenge #141: Habit

Cupcakes are delicious

That is all. For Becky’s January #SqaureUp

Light up the night

This is Spice Alley a few years ago. It’s a tiny strip in Chippendale, Sydney full of restaurants and take away places. On warm summer nights we’d make our way into the city to go to one of our favourite restaurants near there and eat ourselves silly. For Becky’s January #SquareUp

A cup of tea with lemon and sugar

I didn’t know people drank tea with lemon in England. I always thought lemon tea was a Southeast Asian thing. We used to have it strong and cold in Singapore with a good dash of sugar syrup. This tea was hot with a hint of lemon. For Becky’s January #SquareUp

Would you have time for some tea?

Su is hosting her virtual tea party today! The first for the year. Please do come over. She has put up some beautiful nibbles that look delicious. And some ice tea is on offer! I’ve just made a cuppa for my son. He likes his very weak, sweet and super milky. Whereas I like mine […]

Fresh

Love the combination of purple and orange! Via the old Daily Post Photo Challenge #125: Fresh

I miss delicious dumplings from home

I am starting to miss great asian food in London. Food we took for granted at home. Six Word Saturday

Food! Glorious food!

I’ve been cooking more for the family since we moved to London from Sydney. We signed ourselves up to a weekly meal kit that arrives with all the ingredients. Once a week a box full of fresh vegetables, spices and meats arrive at our door step. All I need to do is follow the cooking […]
