#Recipe — Stuffed Tomatoes

This is a superb, vegetarian dish by Maria Luisa Taglienti, dating back to 1955. I’m a committed carnivore and not a huge fan of cheese, but even I love this dish. And it’s not hard to make.

The Adventures of a rubber ball :D

I haven’t played this addictive little game on a smartphone yet, but I have played an early beta version of it on my pc — and even then it was a lot of fun!

It sort of reminded me of the old Nintendo game called Snake Rattle n Roll. Not in any…

Retired Ladies Live Their Dreamlife in a Cosy Forest House

Sea Side Homes, Portofino, Italy

I’m just stunned at how beautiful this is. I had to look and look again to convince myself this was a real place. Heaven on earth, seriously.

The Code — brilliant Aussie thriller

The Offspring and I just finished watching the finale of The Code. This was season 2, and it was even better than season 1. If you hurry you can still watch at least some of season 2 on ABC iView.

A Singapore Street Vendor with a Michelin Star!

It’s been a very long week, topped off by a visit to the dentist this afternoon so I really, really needed cheering…and this post did it with room to spare! Wonderful. :)

To the mothers of Yarra Warra Pre-school in #Warrandyte [1]

Ladies, I know you have small children, and I know you’re run off your feet. You never have a minute to yourself, and sometimes you can’t even go to the loo on your own.

#Solar power changing the face of poverty in India

WHEN WILL WE LEARN? #VOTE 2016

This post says it all.

The Breathtaking Nature Landscapes of New Zealand

New Zealand — truly a land of wonder.

SYMPHONIACS — RELATING TO HUMANS

#Wordpress vs #Facebook?

I spent five minutes on Facebook this morning, and I couldn’t wait to leave.
