Inspired by the recent abundance of produce from the vege gardens of the Harana Families, we decided to celebrate Easter by cooking pinakbet using these produce.

Botany Bay National Park
I’m hoping this would be the first of many bush walks that I would participate in. The Macquarie Explorer Group is bunch of friendly bush walkers who were happy to take me in as a new member. Another lady (Angie) joined the group the same day as I did and we were both warmly welcomed…. Read More ›

Food and Wine Weekend
Let’s call it a belated Valentine celebration, after all we originally booked it on a weekend right after the 14th but we were unable to secure our accommodation and had to move it a week later. We visited places we’ve been, like the Sabor and Twine, as well as those that we’ve missed before like… Read More ›
Sydney Color Run – 2013
Celine signed us up to this event. A 5 km run around the Sydney Olympic Park where you would be showered, blasted, smoked with colours.

Les Miserables

Spring Cycle 2012
When Jessica brought home a French-Chic bicycle a few weeks ago, I took her and Celine to cycle in M7. It was an enjoyable afternoon, and although I know they’ll never become nuts about cycling I wished that one day – all four of us can participate on the annual Spring Cycle. It was like… Read More ›
Hunter Valley Weekend
Celine gave us a piece of paper last Christmas. It entitled her mum and dad (us) to spend a weekend at the Cypress Lakes Resort in Pokolbin. Right at the heart of the vineyards and wineries of the Hunter Valley. Our accommodation includes a round of golf – but since Jeanne and I don’t really… Read More ›
