The date is in my memory banks.

From June 20, I will be armed with enviro bags (plus or minus just a few of my Lulu Lemon shopping bags) every time I head to Woolies.

It was cast iron cookware day at Aldi recently and I loved seeing everyone’s new finds on Instagram.  There’s something timeless about red, grey or white enamel and it looks so amazing in the kitchen.  I’ve got more than my fair share of it so I bought this white and grey doorstop instead.  I’ve been meaning to get one for the double doors for ages.  So cute and so much easier to move around with a foot than fiddly rubber door stoppers.

I stocked up on mint sauce while I was there.  It’s peak lamb season at our place right now and mint sauce is the ying to lamb’s yang.

Recipe Tin Eats has this amazing and easy recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs which has been very popular at SSG Manor 2.0 this week.

The sauce is so simple. Well worth sourcing cooking sake and mirin at your local Asian grocer.

I’ve been making the most of the clear sunny days that we’ve been treated to this winter.

We took the light rail to Dulwich Hill from Central one weekend.

The journey was half the fun as we creaked and swayed our way through the Inner West.   Familiar suburbs look different from a train carriage and you really can’t complain about feeling the sun’s warmth through the window on your ride.

Similarly, clear evenings have been the perfect excuse to explore more of VIVID after an early dinner.

These are my favourites from Chatswood’s VIVID.
