This is a 20 minute meal – it is 100% home made and look at how nice it is! Because it isn’t a jar sauce it had delicious layers of fresh flavours with no crazy ingredients like you may get at a takeaway. Of course, you can substitute chicken, pork or an extra load of…

The commute this morning was probably one of the worst times getting to work I have experienced since I arrived and yet, it was still better than my old Melbourne Connex experiences. There was a massive signal failure on the A and C line and then I read somewhere else that there was also a…

Good times ahead for summer… and Bernadette I hope you are reading this! I scored front row tickets to Chris Isaak! Again it was a case of if Bill came along too we’d be about 15 rows back. Or if I went on my own I got front row. So… sorry Bill! My history with…

Even though today is Sunday, it has been somewhat of a mixed bag for us! Mum and dad have been in Queensland celebrating their wedding anniversary so it hasn’t been a weekend of Skype calls which feels a little strange! I didn’t get to sleep until late last night as ESPN 2 were showing the…

Last Sunday was the Queen of All Saints Street Fair – on a gorgeous warm Sunday afternoon it was just perfect for strolling through the stalls and a late lunch. In Manhattan street fairs are in full swing during summer and they happen all over the place. Basically they will shut a street down and…

Saturday is my favourite day! On Sunday I am already thinking about Monday and it is a very bad habit I have. We have been up since early morning and I relaxed watching a stack of vintage Martha Stewart Living shows (they are screening on Hallmark channel early on Saturday morning) and our Fresh Direct…

We have just walked in the door for a fantastic night out at Craft. We headed back to our old neighbourhood and it was a lovely way to spend a Friday night and was an early celebration of Bill’s birthday. While we are very different, Bill and I have one thing in common. We LOVE…

On Saturday I had to go back to Chelsea to get my hair cut and colored. After a couple of searches when I moved here, I lucked out in finding a fantastic hairdresser and he is worth travelling for! Afterwards, I stumbled across a street fair on 26th Street and was able to take a…

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…

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…
