Food stories are the best stories...There’s noth Food stories are the best stories...There’s nothing I love more than reliving my childhood food memories that involve my grandmother. Egg and cheese jaffles! My grandmother would trim off the excess ends of the bread, butter both sides, add sliced cheese then crack open an egg, disregard a little of the egg white so it would fit nicely on top of the cheese and seal shut into the jaffle maker until the egg was cooked through, basically until the bread was golden and crunchy too. - - - #toastie #jaffle #eggtoast #greekfood #greekcuisine #greekrecipe #foodblogs #foodblogeats #foodblogging #feedfeed #inmykitchen #huffposttaste #thekitchn #huffpostfood #tastingtable #heresmyfood #buzzfeedtasty #comfortfood #fromscratch #tastyfood #eatstagram #foodbloggers #tastemade #greekfoodie #greekeats #greekcooking #greekfoodlovers #easymeals #familymeals #foodlovers

We venture out to Yarram to buy more supplies for We venture out to Yarram to buy more supplies for dinner.We’re making jaffles just like my grandmother made me when I was little. She’d cut the crusts away so the bread fitted perfectly into the jaffle maker, lather up with butter, cheese on both slices of bread and then she’d disregard a little bit of the egg white and place the egg on top of the cheese. Then into the jaffle maker it goes. It only take us four attempts to achieve the perfect jaffle! The next day, the rain and clouds have cleared and we can only imagine the magic that awaits us in the night sky. Although the large cabin windows provide pretty good views, we put on our warm jackets to take a look outside with uninterrupted views, it’s truly magnificent; it’s like we are seeing the night sky for the first time, it’s not often you see the milky way in all of its incredible glory. The point of this stay was to reconnect with not only nature but also ourselves. In one way this stay is truly luxurious, but it’s not a five star hotel. Don’t expect a toilet that flushes, but expect a stay that resets you and provides you time to be present. There are no thoughts about the past or the future. Future thinking only involves what we’re going to eat next and where we will wander to. A travel guide is provided to you for your stay here and on the first page there is a note that says “On this stay I will...providing you with dot point options to choose from depending on what resonates with you and what you want to get out of the stay. One of the dot points was “Forget what time it is.” It was by accident that I forgot my watch at home but truly it was for the best.

By 7:00pm it’s completely dark and one by one we By 7:00pm it’s completely dark and one by one we watch the stars appear. But it’s hard not to feel a little scared. There’s no phone connection, no ‘dial reception’ in case you need anything and no neighbours to call out to. My mind travels; what if there’s an emergency, what if a man like the one from wolf creek lives near by? Far fetched I know, but it’s a sign of our times. Feeling unprotected without technology and unprotected in nature where even the slight sound of the fridge motor turning on sporadically gives me a sudden fright. The clouds envelop the stars and with it brings more darkness, rain is intermittent, our eyes begin to feel heavy and we start to find ourselves drifting in and out of sleep. Never would we fall asleep this early back home. Is this experience what is meant by the body’s circadian rhythm? Morning comes with nature’s alarm clock, the birds song of course, and it’s such a delight to have the large windows to look out from while still been in bed; it’s cold but it’s beautiful. So cold that the toilet seat feels like I’m sitting on an icecube. The cabin warms up naturally, with the afternoon sun turning it into a sauna, but by night time it sure feels cold. You’ll need to bring someone hug worthy with you to keep you warm. As I’m making coffee in the enamel mugs, I see movement through the kitchen window. There’s something under the tree but I can’t quite make it out. ”It’s a cow, let’s go see her!” It turns out she’s friendly but hungry. The lower tree branches have already been eaten and she can’t reach the next ones up. We cut some leaves for her and bring the branches down so she can feast on the buffet in front of her. We name her daisy.

Travelling to Gippsland with Melbourne well and tr Travelling to Gippsland with Melbourne well and truly behind us, I realise I’ve forgotten my smart watch at home. There is no turning back for it now. We soon arrive at our destination. We load ourselves up with our backpacks and groceries to avoid a second trip from the designated car spot to the walking trail that leads to our cabin ‘Saro’. Besides, it’s raining and we don’t know how far our cabin is. Saro was one of those mythical creatures that spent every day in the sun but never got burnt. Walking along the gravel path, I notice our cabin from afar and the first thing I say with excitement, similar to that of a child is, “It’s so cute!” Situated beneath a big old tree, with a campfire in the front and a river nearby, the cabin is positioned perfectly. We spend the afternoon exploring the surrounds, taking photographs and allowing ourselves to slowly unwind and become more settled with the tranquility that an isolated stay like this offers. Yes, it actually does take some time to adjust. Stay tuned...part 2 to be continued tomorrow... - - - #gippsland #visitgippsland #visitvictoria #visitaustralia #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear #travellerau #travelaustralia #travelleraudream #australia #welltravelled #travelwithme #travellerlife #travellover #travelcompanion #traveldeeper #foodtour #foodandwine #foodtraveller #gourmettraveller #visitmelbourne #eatdrinkgippsland #travelaustralia #travelaus #melbourne #travelvictoria #travelblogger #travelblogging #travelblogging

Today we’re heading off to stay in a tiny house in the middle of nowhere for a few days in order to switch off and reconnect not only with nature but with ourselves. - - - #inmykitchen #huffposttaste #thekitchn #lifeandthyme #huffpostfood #tastingtable #heresmyfood #buzzfeedtasty #comfortfood #fromscratch #tastyfood #makeitdelicious #eatstagram #foodbloggers #tastemade #eatthis #buzzfeedtasty #gourmettraveller #deliciousfood #foodilysm #foodiefeature #foodideas #sharefood #foodgoals #lovetocook #lovecooking #cookingathome #homecooked #simplefood #foodforfoodies

There’s no denying that we eat with our eyes. There’s no denying that we eat with our eyes. First we see something and we are visually attracted to it and then we hope that it’s backed up by a beautiful & delicious taste. These three different types of dips are definitely that. Colourful and delicious! Beetroot dip, spicy feta dip and almond dip. We proudly use @dodoni_feta @orchardvalleyov @cobramestate to make our dips! - - - #inmykitchen #huffposttaste #thekitchn #greekdips #huffpostfood #tastingtable #heresmyfood #buzzfeedtasty #comfortfood #fromscratch #tastyfood #makeitdelicious #eatstagram #foodbloggers #tastemade #eatthis #buzzfeedtasty #gourmettraveller #deliciousfood #greekrecipes #foodiefeature #foodideas #sharefood #mediterraneandiet #lovetocook #lovecooking #cookingathome #greekfood #greekcuisine #foodforfoodies
