Melbourne Marathon 2017
Today’s the day I went to the MCG, became friendly with this guy called Cameron, and took a photo of this 10km finisher’s medal. So it all started at the plumber’s ass crack of dawn. Want to know what the … Continue reading
Orange Ya Glad I Exist?
It was Modduck who first introduced me to this cake. As a fellow allergic-to-dairy person, he and I often share dairy-free foods, and whenever one of us buys / makes a cake for work, we’ll often make sure to have … Continue reading
