Life on Mars 842 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn He says: I’ve only seen Total Recall once, dubbed over in Italian which unfortunately I don’t speak a word of. Apart from the three breasted stripper and Arnie kicking a lot of evil corporate ass, the only other part of the movie that made any sense to me […]

A handbag?!

By Marg | Published: October 25, 2011

Roast chicken thighs (and more) Ok, last birthday-related post. I swear. Last Saturday I had a few people over for dinner as a pseudo-birthday party. This post is part recipe and part thank you to my friends.  Dinner was nothing fancy, mainly just a overgrown kids sitting around eating too much and watching youtube (for some […]

By Marg | Published: October 20, 2011

The macarons can be bought in person or ordered online for pick up (boxed sets only). Individually I think they are $2.50 […]

You’ve been Axiled

By Gerard and Marg | Published: October 11, 2011

Axil Coffee Roasters 322 Burwood Road, Hawthorn He says: Sometimes I’m just oblivious to the world. I’ve driven past Axil for the last couple of months, and hadn’t noticed its imposing Burwood Road frontage; or maybe I was just trying to suppress memories of the Glenferrie hotel. Once I’d gotten my head out of the […]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

By Gerard | Published: October 6, 2011

The Dip 55 Liverpool St, Chinatown, Sydney (inside GoodGod) If you haven’t already noticed, I have this unashamed love of American style food.

It’s Business Time

By Gerard | Published: October 3, 2011

QANTAS Sydney Business Domestic Lounge QANTAS Business Lounges (Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra & Melbourne) An evening stuck at the airport because QANTAS has delayed, delayed and now cancelled my flight home probably isn’t the best (or least biased) time to write this review. Regardless, I’ll cast my mind back to the 22nd of September – a happier […]
