Meat Review – The Bootlegger Bar

As I mentioned when reviewing the E-I-E-I-O burger, I love a meal where there is more than one meat contained within the dish.

Recipe – Curried Duck Eggs

The face of Colorism is not Red. But it might be yours.

Colorism, sometimes also referred to as shadeism, is discrimination based on a person’s skin colour.  This is usually tied up with racism, as in people hating entire races and/or nationalities of people and citing their skin colour as one of the things they are prejudiced against.  However the reason that colourism and racism are not … Continue reading The face of Colorism is not Red.

Album Review – Respect The Prime 1986 Revisited

Several weeks ago I reviewed the new Cybertronic Spree Album, which was a cover album of music from the 1986 animated classic Transformers: The Movie.   Not long after this, embarrassingly fanatic blog fans Trent (instigator of the latest hot sauce challenge) and Dallas informed me that there was another tribute album floating around out there from back in 2016.  … Continue reading Album Review – Respect The Prime 1986 Revisited

Meat Review: Pepino’s Mexican Restaurant in Rylstone

Meat Review – Cactus Jam in Warrnambool

When it comes to cooking, various cultures seem to have the patents on different styles.  The French have their light-on-the-stomach-yet-sinfully-rich cusine.  The Germans are masters of wrapping up huge hunks of quadruped in cabbage and roasting the hell out of it.  The Mexicans… well…. what you can usually say about Mexican food is that it’s … Continue reading Meat Review – Cactus Jam in Warrnambool

Burger Review #8 – Paddy O’Burgs

What does one associate with the St Patricks Day?  Parades, wearing green, shamrocks, having a Guinness – the usual stereotypes. But nowadays it seems any company will use the most tenuous of links to ride St’Paddys coattails in order to make a sale. With that in mind, lets have a look at, from Loaded by … Continue reading Burger Review #8 – Paddy O’Burgs

Todays ‘Ask Trev’ question comes from Scott in Lake Munmorah, ‘What’s it like being a radio star?’ Local newspaper covers The Big DJ Trev Show Well Scott, it’s not as glamorous as you might think, nor as easy.  One does not simply show up to the station with a box of CD’s and a laptop … Continue reading Ask Trev – What’s it like being a Radio Star?

The RFS saved our farm from bushfires and friends & family saved our sanity

Despite, thankfully, not losing our home like so many other poor souls, our family was affected by the unprecedented bushfires this summer. We had to evacuate our home for an extended period – twice, with the flames getting to within 500m off our back fence and 200m off our side fence. These were scary times … Continue reading The RFS saved our farm from bushfires and friends & family saved our sanity
