Not Quite Edwards

It appears we are doomed to repeat these posts at leads twice a year for the next 2 years! We haven’t abandoned our blog – just super busy preparing for finals which are coming up next week. The first one is Doctrine of God which has been an awesome course – we learned heaps! – [...]

Back home, hot cross buns start appearing in stores straight after Christmas finishes up.  Reviews appear on which store has the best ones (we liked to grab some from Baker’s Delight, but always chafed a bit at spending $6.50 for 6 of them, :p).  They’re served at Easter events all over the place in both [...]

I wonder whether I have been lately cooking dishes that I used to eat while growing up out of a subconscious sense of missing home.  I can’t say that I really miss home that much in a conscious way – technology has brought the world a lot closer, and it’s easy to keep in touch [...]

We’re marking 5 years of marriage today.  Doesn’t seem so long ago that we were celebrating four years of marriage…I guess the last year has been kind of a whirlwind with picking up and moving to a new country and all! At the time we got married, I started writing a song that I intended [...]

It took us 4 trips to NYC to finally get there, with the visit given impetus by my friend Jen who said something along the lines of not wanting to have to pay A$200+ to try David Chang’s Sydney outpost.  Rightly said!!  So the Momofuku Noodle Bar [...]

Ohhh fried rice noodles, one of my favourite things to eat growing up.  The fresh rice noodle was my noodle of choice, and if we went out to restaurants, I would pick the fried rice noodles over the egg noodles (whereas my dad was always the other way around – we got good variety in [...]

One of the reasons we decided to study in the US was because of the increased potential to hear from  Christian minds that we wouldn’t otherwise get the opportunity to hear.  So far since we’ve been here, we’ve had the opportunity to hear live from Kevin DeYoung, Mark Dever and Don Carson (so well known apparently [...]

This is happened because: We were bored one day. We are on a budget. I refuse to play ping pong in public on the table at school due to embarrassment over being too bad. We don’t own a ping pong table. We have heaps of spare cardboard around the house as a result of Amazon [...]

I know, I know, tofu is not usually described as tasty.  But bear with me! Having grown up eating tofu as a normal part of our predominantly Asian diet, tofu is nothing that special to me.  Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of it (I think deep fried silken tofu is my [...]
