(Video) The Monday Vlog #4!

Hi friends! It’s Monday Vlog time again, and this time you have a bit of a bonus – two weeks in one! This may or may not be because I forgot to upload one last week… but let’s not focus on that. This time, you can watch me eat, drink, eat, go to Costco (to…

Musings on Homesickness

Howdy! So the end of this month will mark my 9-month anniversary with Korea. As you have probably garnered from my passionate proclamations, I have a lot of love for this country. There are so many opportunities, tastes, experiences, people, quirks and (of course) shops to experience, you are never at a loss for something….

Another Divine Dinner at Fabulous Fine Food, McKinnon.

I have previously posted about Fabulous Fine Food in McKinnon, but tonight warrants another rave review. To celebrate both my mother’s and my brother’s September birthdays, we headed down for a family dinner. Once again, I was blown away. I unfortunately don’t have any photos to delight you with, but hopefully my descriptions will get…

Gem of the Outer East: A Review of Zest 89, Glen Waverley.

It used to be hard to find inner-city dining in the outer eastern suburbs. Too often the experience would be substandard, with the service indifferent and the food uninspired.

Diet-breaker.

As I write to you, I am picking at a secret Easter egg from the Secret Stash above the oven . Despite my (best?) efforts at eating healthily post-Easter (see below), this year I have found it incredibly hard to break free from the chocolate binge. It’s just SO good. Some people are chocolate people,…

New York/Empire state of mind

I am so, so excited about our forthcoming trip to NYC. By ‘our’ I mean my boyfriend’s and mine, and am unfortunately not referring to you, dear reader. Which would be a bit strange anyway. We leave this Sunday, at 1pm, and I still haven’t packed. Heck, I never pack earlier than two days before…

Delicioso days

Last night my boyfriend, two of his friends and myself enjoyed a delicious pizza in Carlton.  Pizza a Metro, 0n Grattan St, honestly has the best pizza in Melbourne. Ever. I think I have previously posted about this, but if I haven’t, their quattro frommaggi is to die for. The only problem with the four cheeses…

Getting closer

Another day, another daydream. And so my life continues. I have been feeling a little flat today, a little lost. Wondering where my life is going to take me. And all this wondering makes me tired, so I wind up doing nothing. Not too great for the economy, that’s for sure. I found out today…

Beautiful Melbourne

Sometimes I forget how great our city is. In planning for my upcoming trip to New York City (or as I and my boyfriend and travel partner like to call it, “Newww Yawwwk) I have rediscovered the beauty in my hometown. Out with a friend on Chapel St today, there were some beautiful shops and…
