A table for two

Hearty stew beats the winter chill. Finally a little bit of sunshine in Sydney, the weather last week was absolutely dreadful. It was so wet that even my dog, Amelie, didn’t want to go outside for a walk and get her tail wet. Also, in this kind of weather, all I could think of is [...]
