Mamma Mia! Ok, I absolutely LOVE musicals. Sure, people may call them corny and quaint, but I bet everyone secretly sings along to Grease Lightening when they think no one is around. Wicked. Grease. Gigi. High Society. The King and I. Mamma Mia. I love them all.

M e n i n r e d a n d g o l d S h o r t s   //Every four years, over a period of four weeks, friendships are strained, families divided and I drag my sorry self out of bed at ridiculous hours to watch the World Cup. And the 2010 South African tournament certainly didn’t disappoint. Although Australia was rudely eliminated in the group round, a team of true footballers won in the end. //



Ole! ole ole ole!

Countdown to beginning of Premier League and La Liga!

Makin’ Bacon Not literally. In my family, life revolves around food, food and more food. My brother is an apprentice chef at EST. and as a result we have become his test guinea pigs.   My little cousins don’t mind, because 1) they’re boys and 2) it gives them an excuse to eat six desserts. This is their favourite recipe that I cook with them on sleepovers.
