Sydney

Before all hell broke loose and there wasn’t much talk about Covid-19, we went to Sydney. We had hoped to catch the Penn & Teller show at the Sydney Opera House but they canceled for medical reason. We still went and had a fantastic time. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and spend […]

Happy 2017!

A part of me would like to say that I was partying the night away dressed in a slinky cowl neck midi dress with matching heels when the clock struck 12AM ringing in 2017 but no, I wasn’t. I was asleep. MJ had stayed awake with the guise that he was so cool he was going to […]

Melbourne food

If you remember, one of the first times I went to Melbourne, I didn’t like it.  I thought it was crowded and lacked a variety of food.  I still think it’s very crowded and a lot of people spend more time looking down at their phones rather than looking at where they’re walking.  Some people […]

Better late than never

So just yesterday I discovered that corn meal is actually called polenta in Australia – nearly 7 years after moving here.  Oh and by the way cilantro is called coriander here – that one only took me 6 months to figure out, cause you know, there isn’t something at my fingertips in which I can […]

Supersize me

The other day a couple of coworkers and I were talking about food portion differences here as opposed to the US.  They couldn’t believe that a small in the US was a large here.  I was wrong.  The small in the US is actually larger than a large here.  Damn, I used to supersize my […]

Aussie foods

I can say that my taste buds have changed since I’ve been here but I have yet to acquire the taste for any of the shown products!

Holiday pricing

Today is the Queen’s Birthday (or rather the observance of it).  I didn’t work and most businesses are shut except for major stores like Target and Kmart and the cinema and other places like McDonalds, KFC, and Hungry Jacks, just to name some. Anyway for dinner we decided to go to a chain pizza place. […]

Not quite alone but nearly

I came across a website where you can buy some Mexican food staples in Australia. While some of the items I was familiar with, it still wasn’t the same products I cooked with in NJ. I decided to do another search (one that I did countless of times when I first moved here): Puerto Rican […]

American goodies!

Got an order of our favorite American goodies, including Snapple.     First Snapple in at least 4 years. I think I had an orgasm!
