Stop the press – we’ve updated our pillowcases to these nice velvet ones… Not the ones you sleep on, the ones that go on top of that for show/propping yourself up to read.

If you’re in Brissie between now and early October, head to the Gallery of Modern Art for an exhibition of Michael Zavros’s work. He’s a good friend of a friend so we’ve decided he’s our friend – and that means he’s our favourite artist. Which is fitting, because the exhibition is called ‘The Favourite’…

And to cook – we made this beef brisket mid-week and shredded it up for tacos (following the recipe for the meat, not the accompaniments, although they look great, too…). Oh stop it, we’re not amazing/clever… All you need is the time for it to marinate and then cook – beyond that, it’s crazy simple and great for a weekend dinner.
