Winter has sucked this year, I’m glad it’s gone
You suck winter. Normally I like you. You used to be awesome. Full of snow, red wine, soup and Moro bars. Not this year, this year you’ve been boring, consistent and grey. To be honest, I’m glad you’re gone. To your credit, I do still like you. I’m going to want you back. Because what [...]
MMP loves BurgerFuel!
I vividly remember the first time I had a BurgerFuel burger. It was on a weekend trip to “Dorkland” to stay with my pals from school.

My original date for the evening chose to go to LA over eating with me, I now think that may have been a mistake, she really missed [...]
Slight cop out, I know, but I don’t want to steal and this is a fricken good recipe
Oh chocolate. My sweet tempered friend. Is there anything better than you? I think not. There is also nothing better than this chocolate tart. Seriously. It is the tart of all tarts. This recipe is from the July 2010 issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller. It’s good. Seriously good. Ass grabbing, high fiving, smug smirking, finger [...]

Introducing the first of the Hungry Fran guest columns. Today’s recipe is from Mel from http://www.breadandsniffit.com/. Take it away Mel. Man-trap Lamb Rack My boyfriend thinks that all girls trap boys into being their boyfriends. And although this goes against almost everything I believe in, I think he may be right.
