I generally eat well and enjoy most foods and meals served up for me. However, a few foods will never pass muster with me.

Different people perceive the taste of coriander leaves differently. Those who enjoy it say it has a refreshing, lemony or lime-like flavour, while those who dislike it...

Cable neatness

Now that the renovations have almost ended, it is time to put my study back again. I had previously made attempts to tidy up my cables, but it didn't quite work out as well as I planned. This time I am going to take a more structured approach to it. ...

Now on Spotify

When I was a lad, access to music was not as plentiful as with streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music. If I wanted to listen to a song, I either listened to it on the radio or bought the album.

The Bend Motorsport Complex

It is only three years old, but The Bend Motorsport Complex has already gained a reputation as one of Australia’s best motorsport facilities. This assessment is hard to argue with when you arrive at a four-level, 308-metre pit building with 34 garages and a 100-room hotel. Each of the rooms...

The new COVID normal

Two COVID tests in two days, the price I have to pay to travel interstate to South Australia. The South Australian government has required that all interstate travelers get tested within 72 hours of arriving and then test on arrival and isolate until the test is negative. The first test...

Smart TV

How smart does a TV need to be considered a smart TV? A smart TV is a television that has built-in internet access and can stream content from the internet. With the proliferation of streaming services, accessing content from the internet is almost a necessary evil for modern TV viewing....

Dessert

December is my birthday month, and along with Christmas, it is the time of year when all the best desserts come out.
I have several favourite desserts, and I am never disappointed when a chocolate mousse dessert with strawberries and almonds is made. The chocolate mousse recipe for such...

I'll try to do better next time

The Yarra Junction to Yarragon run is an all-time favourite of mine. Though the pace starts slowly on the run between Yarra Junction and Powelltown, the subsequent roads make the run a lot of fun with their twists and elevations. Once we reached the Princes Highway at Trafalgar, I usually...
