I meant to post about this ages ago but in between the move and visit to Australia, it got lost along the way! I adore vintage cookbooks like crazy. Mum has her own mums Good Housekeeping Institute’s Cookery Compendium from 1955 that I just LOVE going through and always have. For some time I had…

Wardrobe organization excitement!
Like many apartments, we have only a tiny amount of wardrobe space. Below are our closets… mine is on left and Bill’s is on the right – I always thought my normal plastic tube hangers from The Container Store were fine. I had them all one color (black) and they would always face the right…
Luigi’s in Fort Greene
Forget about Grimaldi’s (where I have never eaten – I hate queueing!) we seriously have one of the BEST pizza places ever right around the corner from us. If you don’t believe me, check out Yelp. Luigi’s is the bomb. I love John’s of Bleecker but in my opinion, Luigi’s is better. It wasn’t until…
Flick, Flick, Record, Flick, Record
Before we left for Australia we made a little extravagant purchase that is seriously the best thing EVER! We have a TiVo Premiere! This is how the box looks – We had a bit of drama leading up to being able to use this though. Being Miss Organized 2010 meant that of course, I had…
In an emergency…
As a news addict, when breaking news happens I have a routine of checking out all of the places where I can find out what, when, where, who and why. Last weekend when the car bomb in Times Square was discovered, we were safe at home and I got the first alert at about 7.00pm…
Stitching the night away
Sally and Steph were last night conversing on Twitter about their knitting projects – with winter starting in Melbourne, it is perfect! I’m not a knitter but I wish I was going to be at morning tea in the library to check out their projects! Spooky thing is, when I was back in Melbourne, I…
The Party
I was trying to work out how best to blog about our trip. I intend on doing day 1, day 2 and following on like that – just to give you an idea of our crazy travel schedule that I concocted. First off, I wanted to start out with a blog of photos from the…
Black Iris on DeKalb
With this disgusting humidity the last thing I felt like doing tonight was anything to do with dinner. We don’t have our air conditioner installed yet and despite Bill going out on an urgent trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy a fan to tide us over through these few days, the fan just…
Getting back to normal
Somehow, we are getting back to normal in our little household. Landing after the longhaul flight on Tuesday PM and being back at work on Wednesday morning is always a struggle… quite simply, it is the absolute worst. The foggy head feeling lasted until Thursday night but it really is the easiest way to get…
Beautiful Tasmania!
We just walked in the door after an absolutely amazing holiday in Tasmania. Mum and dad organized the whole thing and were wonderful guides around the Apple Isle – despite all my worldy travels I had never been to Tasmania before! The highlight? An amazing boat tour around the real end of the world –…
