Christmas Traditions
As someone who dislikes change, when I find something that works, I stick with it. I think that’s partly why I’m so big on Christmas traditions. To be clear, I’m not talking about throwaway Christmas activities like eating mince pies. I’m talking specific, intricately-planned, and carefully sequenced traditions.

Christmas Traditions
How do you celebrate Christmas (if it all)? What kind of traditions do you have? Can you still practice these in adulthood? I love the Christmas season. I love the weather, the seasonal produce, and the atmosphere. Most of all, I love celebrating Christmas with family and friends.
Christmas: You Either Love it or You Hate It
In my experience, Christmas (if you celebrate it) is one of those things that you either love or you hate. Personally, I love it. I’m deeply passionate about all things Christmas: the food, the movies, the decorations (consumerism wins again), and the time spent with friends and family. It’s something that I look forward to […]
I Always Get Hungry at 11am
My morning is going well. I’m a couple of hours into whatever I am doing, and I am getting stuff done. I should be able to fit in another couple of hours of study or work before I have a lunch break. Then a wave of hunger hits me. I’m suddenly starving and wishing it […]
In Praise of: The Adelaide Central Markets
The Adelaide Central Markets are one of the best things about our great city. The variety of produce available, from the freshest possible fruit and vegetables to the scrumptious pastries and cheeses and, of course, the array of revitalising coffee options, means there really is something for everyone.
Plastic Free Supermarket Shopping or an Eco Nightmare?
It’s a Sunday, and I have picked the busiest day to trawl through the shelves of Coles. My trolley and I are squeezing through families and fellow shoppers all with one common goal; to get out of this fluorescently lighted hell. Children are screaming, and I am clenching my jaw as I rummage through my […]

Meat Consumption
My house mate saw a video of what happens to male chicks (no good for meat or eggs) when they are born: straight into the chopper. My house mate was horrified. He was sickened to his stomach. He couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t raise them or give them a chance for life. He had two […]
Leftovers and Student Cooking
My Saturday routine is to go to the central market and buy a ‘magic box’. Five bucks and I get a stack of vegetables and fruit that sets me up for the week, but when you’re living on a student budget and shopping and cooking for one, how do you use up all your food […]

Review: Borsa Pasta Cucina
Borsta Pasta Cucina, located on Grenfell Street, is an Italian bistro tucked away in Adelaide’s bustling business sector. It’s traditional: there’s dark wood and low-lighting, fresh pasta airing in the kitchen, etched glassware, and fine white china mixed in with plates reminiscent of Nonna’s house. Something about it feels very 1970s Italian dining. The kind […]
Food Waste
I like to think that I do my part for the environment. I recycle, I put organics waste in the compost bin, and I try to limit using plastics, but my one downfall is food waste. Food gets forgotten in our fridge and, sadly, often has to get thrown out (in the compost bin).
