A Turducken Christmas

  Gobble, Quack, Bo-kokkk! I’ve always wanted to roast a Turducken for Christmas, and this year I finally picked up the courage (or being talked into) and tackled the beast! It was a full on 3 days saga but the reward was oh so worth all the effort I put in. Let’s the crazy feasting [...]

Easter in September at Wisemans Ferry, NSW

The Easter bunny is here… Wot the? Totally random I know, and you definitely do not want to bump into this creepy bunny holding a knife, waving at you in the woods. I love how my friends are just as random as me. In July, we invited a few friends to celebrate Christmas in July [...]

It’s Christmas in July! A Yuletide dinner party at ATFT’s HQ

I ♥ YULE. Celebrating Christmas in July here in Australia makes absolutely perfect sense. For those who migrated to Australia from the Northern Hemisphere will never get used to having Christmas in a scorching hot summer in December. The Pom who has moved here for more than 9 years still prefer hot roast dinner with brussel [...]

Do my buns look big this Easter? Usually is pretty quiet in this household during Easter, we don’t celebrate it except a few Easter chocolate eggs here and there.
