Thank you Catherine - this type of food makes gorgeous childhood memories indeed... We also used to do "breakfast dinners' every now and then, with croissants and hot chocolate for dinner, I loved it!

Hi Lorraine, yes, that's the place I was telling you about - a must do in Paris!
L'Avant-Comptoir bistro: how I fell in love with Paris (again)
Let's put it that way: if you only had one day in Paris, I'd advise you to go to L'Avant-Comptoir. It's THAT good, and inexpensive, and iconically French. This is one of the places I always go back to each time I go back home. Jean and I enjoying a glass of red and 'jambon de Bayonne' L'Avant-C...
Thanks Robin! PS: got to see another fabulous play by the Sydney Theatre Company, 'True West' - you would have loved it...
Open Day at the Wharf: behind the scenes with Sydney's performing arts companies
I love theatre... Borrowing words from Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton in the 2011 season leaflet of the Sydney Theatre Company, "theatre gives you a chance to lead many lives, to experience many more moments than those (too few) allotted to us by fate." The beautiful Wharf 1 Theatre and it...

Lorraine > thank you my dear! the gingermen tasted really good too, very Christmassy...
Gastronomy Gal > Thank you for stopping by! Have you been to Kakawa before? Really gorgeous chocolates...
Summer Jobs Abroad > Thank you, it looks like we're both chocoholics ;-)

Postcard from Kakadu National Park, Australia
Today I'm just taking a break from my quest for Sydney's best chocolates and other edible gems to tell you about Kakadu National Park, one of my absolute favourite places in Australia. Kakadu is so beautiful, wild, lush, and so iconically Australian... It's also the largest national park in t...
Thank you Sally - hope you can travel to Paris again soon! PS: Jesus, I wouldn't want to be there right now, with all the snow, virtually no public transport and lots of grumpy visitors and Parisians... We're better off here in Sydney chilling out on the beach.
