Swimming upstream against fussy eaters

by Cellobella on Thursday, February 7, 2008

Groover would say it’s pearls before swine: Of course my little fussbudgets – though professing to be “starving half to death” – weren’t interested in eating it. And he had presented it so beautifully. Sure, he might do some bad things, but overall he’s a pretty good egg (to keep the foodie theme going). You [...]

Mr Weezee’s satay sticks

by Cellobella on Monday, November 26, 2007 · 3 comments

In the tradition of The Food Pornographer may I introduce you to the worst kept secret in the Western Suburbs – Mr Weezee’s Satay. I’d heard others talk about this phenomenon of a shop and its quirky idiosyncracies and was intrigued. The co-manager of our cricket team told me where it was – in the [...]

The best lamb chop I’ve ever eaten

by Cellobella on Wednesday, August 1, 2007 · 7 comments

One of the nice things about working where I do is sometimes when foodies come in, they bring food.  Today I was in early for a cross with our breakfast presenter and the foodie – the lovely Marg Johnston – brought in freshly cooked lamb chops coated in breadcrumbs with garlic, lemon and parmesan cheese. [...]

It’s in.

by Cellobella on Saturday, July 14, 2007

Yes my application is in and it is amazing how good that feels. Firstly it is an affirmation to sit down and write an application to tell someone you are good, and secondly it’s a relief to have it off my plate. I guess I’ve been waiting for this to happen for at least 12 [...]

Heavy Metal

by Cellobella on Thursday, July 12, 2007

It’s rare to come across a yummy recipe that is also not only good for you but able to provide some health benefits as well. My mum had this recipe out as a dip last night at dinner and let me tell you – it is delicious! She sent me the recipe… Heavy metal poisoning [...]

Chicken Soup and Lemongrass

by Cellobella on Friday, July 6, 2007

I’ve come home early today. I think I’m coming down with Hugamuga’s Flu. He was hit hard Wednesday night and has a cough that lifts the rafters. His slight frame seems too fragile for such a nasty cold. He’s been in bed ever since. Well… in bed, on the computer and lying in front of [...]

New Music

by Cellobella on Wednesday, January 24, 2007

Before I tell you about this new music… just wanted to vent. We don’t have a DVD player at the moment thanks to the small girl child who lives with us.  And I foolishly somehow didn’t tape the whole “Taming of the Shrew” last Sunday night.  Anyway I secured a DVD copy, borrowed my brother’s [...]
