Let me preface this article by stating that I hate applying genre titles to music. In a lot of cases, it can be a bloody hard task. Artists are blurring the lines – taking elements of one genre and fusing it with another (or multiple) to create something new. Before you know it, there’s not just Soul and R&B, but neo-soul, country soul, alternative R&B, indie R&B, PBR&B, and numerous others. And don’t get me started on hip-hop/rap. Like the…
The regular season is over, and the mighty Swans have come out on top. Minor Premiers. It has a nice ring to it. It’s only happened for our wonderful Club 3 times in the past. Even though the ladder says it was close, I reckon it was pretty convincing all things told. And it might well have been much more convincing than it was, were it not for 2 losses clinched from the jaws of victory (Bulldogs and Tigers –…
The San Francisco International Spirits Competition is held annually and is considered the biggest and most prestigious of its kind. When a spirit wins the highest possible accolade, Double Gold Medal, at this competition, it makes people stand up and take notice. And that is what compelled me to track down this whisky on the internet. I had to purchase it from the UK and pay the necessary customs and taxes to get it into Australia, so it cost a…
I initially found this as a vegetarian recipe, but decided to make a few changes by adding chicken and some more vegetables to make the dish more nutritious and filling. It is relatively low in fat and super delicious. The quantities in this recipe fed my family of 4 for two consecutive nights. I hope you try and enjoy it. INGREDIENTS: 2 large fennel bulbs, base trimmed 2 tbsp butter 2 medium brown onions, diced finely 3 garlic cloves, finely…
It’s not often I make vegetarian meals at home, as I am a carnivore at heart, but this recipe ticks the two main boxes – delicious and nutritious. The kids love it (as it tastes of peanut butter, though not over-the-top), and my wife places requests for it. INGREDIENTS: olive oil 1 brown onion, diced finely 3 cloves garlic, minced or chopped finely 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced 2 tspn ground cumin 1 tspn ground coriander 1 tspn smoked paprika…
The Swans’ win over the Hawks last night felt a little like getting the monkey off your back. They seemed to have the wood over us for quite a while (though, that being said, they’ve seemed to have the wood over everyone for the past few years). We always seemed to be in control, though the Hawks, as they so often do, put a run together in the 3rd quarter that brought the margin down to within a goal at…
As makers of one my all-time favourite beers, the Hop Hog, I thought it was about time I gave this one a go. Feral Brewing Co, out of the Swan Valley in WA, are masters of producing flavour-packed beer in all manner of varieties. I’ve tried and loved their Feral White, Sly Fox, Hop Hog, Smoked Porter, Watermelon Warhead, and several others. Feral’s experienced brewers are well known for pushing the boundaries of their craft, experimenting with all types…

Of all the TV series’ that are currently airing, the following shows are the ones that I feel have the greatest potential. This list also doubles as my “Most Binge-Worthy List” too – Seeing as though they have all aired for just the one season thus far, they are relatively easy to binge-watch the entire season and you’ll have caught up and be ready for when their respective 2nd seasons begin to air. Time will tell if their 2nd seasons…
Found this recipe on Facebook, made a few adjustments and gave it a try tonight. Pretty tasty, and pretty healthy too.
