This Is Me

Yeah, I love food as much as the next foodie but I’m not addicted to it per-say. Let me ask you this. Does anyone else go weak at the knees for plastic containers and fancy drink bottles? Here I am trying to be sustainable – you know – reduce, reuse, recycle – but as soon as I see a bloody décor 50% sale, I find myself pouring over the plastics section instead of buying what I actually need! My…

It makes me glad I home school my ten year old daughter!

It’s one of those proverbs your parents or grandparents would use, but you didn’t really understand it. In fact, you would get home from school and complain about the people that made your day shit. Then your mum would say it … “Birds of a feather, flock together”. “What? What is that supposed to mean? What are you talking about? I’m telling you about this group of people that are shitting me…

Cabbage. I hated it as a kid and as an adult … until I learned how to cook it the right way! Say hello to my easy Chow Mien. You can use any green cabbage for this recipe.

Stop Having Bad Sex!

Let me start by saying, I read a lot online and I often have an opinion but don’t really know where to share it in detail, which is one reason why I wanted to begin blogging. I’m also going to mention that although my blog is entitled “How to Adult”, it doesn’t mean I always get it right either. So often I’ve found myself in a position of needing an “adultier” adult.

“It Takes All Types”

We’ve either worked or studied with them, for them, or under them (some people even married them). There is no escaping that some people are just different. I’m yet to put my finger on the reason how or why some people function differently to the rest of us but in the meantime it’s always amusing to see what happens next. I’m talking about people who weren’t blessed with fully functioning brain…
