Our family were sent The Maggi Extra Delicious Chicken Noodles with ‘Invisible Wholegrain’ to sample. Luckily Chicken is the ONLY flavour we would actually purchase so we felt somewhat qualified to comment! The problem we have with instant noodles in general is that they just taste SO unhealthy {maybe because they are?}, so despite the fact that we quite like …

Cook | Dave’s Fried Chicken Nibbles / Wings
There aren’t many that know fried chicken like a southern boy, and Dave surely knows how to make fried chicken. In our 7 years of marriage he has cooked this gor-met delicacy for me only twice. Once on New Years three years ago and tonight, surprisingly, he fried up a big lovely mess of chicken. Unprompted! Because I’m sure you …

Things I love …..BACON
I love bacon. But, nitrates are bad news. Nitrates are even badder than bad news when you fry the shit out of them whilst you are cooking your bacon. On the hunt for an alternative, I spied Henderson’s Dry Cured Bacon in Pak ‘n Save Albany last week (it was $6.99 for 500 grams – very comparable to standard brands) …
