Bridesmaids behave, or else you'll be wearing these.

Apparently they're very comfortable and are on sale for about $30. Uh. Don't want to hear it. They're beautiful and you'll get plenty of wear out of them.

Spew bum.

On Friday, Dad was convinced Oscar had an ear infection because he smelled funny. On Saturday, dad sat back in Oscar's bed as he was trying to sort out his down syndrome digital recording box and sat in vomit, confirming that Oscar didn't in fact have an ear infection, but rather a bad belly. I made an Ottolenghi sweet potato maple salad, because it reminded me of the colour and consistency of Oscar's vomit.

No, my boss is not gay.

A meal for Ron Jeremy?

How 'Jerk Chicken' got it's name is beyond me, but like Golliwogs are now Golly Dolls and the candy cigarettes FAGS are now FADS, Jerk Chicken needs a makeover and one that is far removed from masturbating poultry.

Despite the disturbing name, this recipe was a winner and one of the easiest meals we've done in recent times. Throw all the ingredients into the food processor, marinate the chook overnight and pop it into the oven for one hour. The rice is done in a pan using coconut milk and chicken stock, along with black beans, chili and thyme. Delicious.

This is a great pick for dinner parties, although it might be worth exploring alternative ways to cook the beans, which throughout the weekend revealed their effects in an unrelenting and musical fashion (which Don blamed on Moses the cat). Toot toot.

Home style jerk chicken with rice and peas.

A 3rd of his annual salary. Good rule.

Must load up on carbs before heading out on mission 'ring'. Leek Bread & Butter Pudding with Smoked Salmon and Poached Eggs will do the trick.
