I’ve never really noticed till tonight how far apart the food in the photo on the packet and the actual food actually are. Take tonights quick and nasty dinner. McCain’s Healthy Choice Beef Florentine. In hindsight I’d rather have eaten a dead marsupial found on a highway to Mt Isa. As far as healthy microwaved meals go.. THERE’S NO SUCH THING! Not if it looks like a collection of dried up, flavourless, colourless trop!

My first article! Heavenly taste of Israeli hummus This time last year I returned to Melbourne after almost three months in Israel and I’m depressed thinking about it. I’m depressed not because I miss Tel Aviv’s beaches or the gorgeous long curly hair of beautiful Israeli women, but because I miss the felafel. Yes, I’m putting food before hot, sexy Israeli women! I’m putting food before women full stop! I must have a fever. No, [...]

This is what’s happening to me at the ABC. Since journalists have desktop editing my job has gotten harder, while not being compensated accordingly.

This is really cool. The video I made about hummus in Israel last year (link to the video) has been noted by www.hummus101.com, THE best site dealing with hummus and other tasty chickpea dishes. Big thanks to them for the appreciation. Apparently though what I thought was just THE best hummus in the world may turn out to actually be a dish called Msabbha (click to read more about this great dish as well as [...]

I just won the UK Lotto sweepstakes! 1,000,000 pounds! Oh… hang on! No I haven’t! I never have…never will. Neither will you or your dad or that annoying guy who works at the local 7-11. You see it’s another scam to get your personal details which will allow the crook access to possibly your bank account, identity, credit card and maybe your wardrobe safe where you keep your priceless art collection. So how do I [...]

Scam emails are all the fashion these days. Most of them claim to be from an African girl who was left some millions of dollars from her recently deceased aunt or uncle who died brutally at the hands of the local militia and would like your assistance in getting the money out of her war torn country. You! Yes, you! You have been chosen amongst millions of people. Why you? Why not? After all, you don’t know [...]

I really have been in two minds about Twitter. On one hand here is a new service that reminds me of facebook status updates but announced to anyone who cares to listen, and on the other hand a new craze that everyone I know is getting onto and putting up posts about their every mundane movement. In recent months the number of users has climbed dramatically and C-lebritites like Oprah and Ashton Kutcher got on board [...]

The “Fail Whale” is the graphic of a whale held up by a flock of birds illustrated by Yiying Lu (@yiyinglu on twitter) It is employed during periods of downtime by the social networking service Twitter.com, which allows users to submit and share brief messages known colloquially as “tweets.” When Twitter gets overloaded, users see the “Fail Whale” error message.

What’s a Gravatar? A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on blogs? I use one and you see it with my posts. Yes, that smiling face to the left. When you post a link or comment on a blogsite with Gravatars [...]

Seems where ever you go these days people like to sit at cafes with free Internet access and surf the web. In this case here I am at a cafe blogging about the two others in the cafe also blogging.
