Well, I figured out that it was my Airport card in the iBook that was forcing it to Kernal Panic (although we’ve since experience a sad mac file folder on start up at least once) so I am now connected to the net with an ethernet cord! (I need to point out that this failed [...]

Apple iBook woes, or; Large White Brick.
Posted in Uncategorized on April 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Yes it’s been awhile since I did any post here and the reason why is in the subject heading: Apple iBook woes.
I bought my iBook G4 in August 2005, from Digilife, in Perth Western Australia, for traveling in Canada. My PC was dying (aka Old) and I wanted a small portable machine. That’s right, I’m [...]
Err…

So, we had 5 weeks of no net. Then two weeks ago, around a week after my last post (I figure) and just as I was editing photos, my iBook died. Again. Second hard drive that’s croaked in my iBook (and I am not mentioning EVERYTHING ELSE that’s failed in this sucker). I can’t afford [...]
5 weeks with no ‘net
Posted in Uncategorized on March 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Good lord, we’ve just suffered (and I don’t use that word lightly) through 5 full weeks without the internet at home. Whilst the local library has a good connection and you can grab an hour at a time (if you get in before everyone else), there was no facility that allowed one to upload anything [...]
Potatoes

Well, I kept to my word and made a potato dish for dinner. It was VERY good! I made a “Cheesy potato bake”, based on a recipe I’d seen on http://www.taste.com.au, but modifying it to my own wants. It called for a white sauce to be poured over the potatoes instead of cream, or sour [...]

Oh boy. I made some Savory Breakfast Muffins for breakfast (except that they didn’t get made until after noon… whoops) today and they were SO GOOD. In fact, we just had another one for supper. Mmmmmm
Got the recipe off http://www.kayotickitchen.com/ (Kay calls them her “Breakfast Pizza Muffins“) and I think that I’ll post up my [...]
Ham Success!

Ham in Coca Cola = success! I was YUM-MY! Nom nom nom, it was so good that 3 of us almost completely demolished a 2kg chuck of ham There was a big lump of fat that I didn’t realise was on the size, when I removed the skin before glazing it, so that [...]

A quick note to say Happy New Year!
The Ham seems to have cooked well, and I’ve even managed to fit EVERYTHING in our little-medium sized fridge! (It’s not small, just 220ltrs.) Yay me! We’re having a New Years Lunch tomorrow. This is the menu!
Ham in Coca Cola (glaze will be plum & treacle – [...]
Ham in Coca Cola
Posted in Uncategorized on December 31, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Oh, I’m nervous! I’m cooking a ham in coca cola tonight, a la Nigella Lawson. I got a “pickling pork” which is the same as a “gammon” as far as I can tell. When you boil it and cook it through, it becomes a “ham”.
But it’s boiling away, and I guess it’s what makes [...]
