How Grandma Broke My Children
byI thought reading was supposed to be good for kids!
Grandma’s 7 Best Biscuit Recipes
byI’m going to let you in on a secret – this recipe business on the blog is the biggest self-serving caper I’ve ever come up with.
Grandma’s Lambs Brains
byThese are not for everyone. Judging by the reactions of the members of this family only one in seven people find the idea of eating lambs brains tenable. And even amongst us who love to eat them, I think there’s a real drop off in numbers of those who are prepared to make the dish.
Grandma’s White Chocolate And Macadamia Biscuits
by“I love these!” Miss4 said while we were making them with Grandma.
“No, you don’t,” I assured her.
Not that she’ll ever know one way to the other.

byThe trouble with having M&M’s as a key ingredient in cooking is trying to work through the thick blur of tiny hands keen on ‘helping’.

The Grand Hotel
byEveryone is jumping out of their skin at the moment because my sister-in-law and her three kids are up for a few days of the holidays, staying at my parents’ place – The Grand Hotel, Gympie.
Grandma’s Brandy Snaps
byI have no idea exactly how much goodness is in these crunchy little numbers, but on a scale of one to 100 it surely must be soaring well into the single digits.
Also, there is no brandy used in the recipe so can only assume it must be sipped while making them. At least, that’s the road I took.
Slip Sliding Away
by“Do you have that book your cousin wrote, the tape dispenser or my silk dressing gown?” Grandma asked me.
The older she gets the more excellent her hiding spots are for her treasures. One day I fully expect she’ll lose her house.
NOTE TO THE READER – the comment section of this post is a must read.
