I am health conscious but I do not count calories and I most certainly do not weigh my meal portions! I'll trim large bits of excess fat off my pork chops and chicken wings but I'll never avoid eating them.... Continue reading Product review: Lean Cuisine Everyday Wellbeing meals »

Lean Cuisine Day 3

I'm starting to question the 97% fat free claim on these now. Today's meals were so filling and they didn't taste 'light' at all. I'm glad to report that both the tortellini and mince were full in flavour. Mmmm... The... Continue reading Lean Cuisine Day 3 »

Eat In @ Piccadilly is my new lunch destination. It is much smaller than the food courts in Mid City, Imperial Arcade, or Sydney Central Plaza... but there are plentiful seats, so there's no longer a war to fight for tables, and whilst we were limited to about 7 outlets, the quality and freshness of this place was a great change from the usual chaos.
