How much spice can you handle - extra extra hot at Nandos?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 13 Jun

We enjoy eating at Nandos and they make some great chicken. You set your spice level and can too it up with sauce to make it even hotter. We usually order the spicy chicken and use the extra hot or extra extra hot sauce to add...

Well, that's one way of finding out it wasn't dishwasher safe!

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 10 Jun

It's been a while since we had a dishwasher accident. This one was definitely my fault. I put in a thin plastic container into the dishwasher, the kind that you pack takeaway leftover food at a restaurant. While the container...

How do you like your chocolate chip cookies?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 8 Jun

I like my chocolate chip cookies, or any other cookies, slightly chewy and soft. I know these are not healthy. I have two favourite spots to buy them - Subway and Woolworths (a supermarket chain). Maybe I should try and bake...

Do you like to hold insects?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 31 May

I must admit that I get squeamish at the thought, but I was tempted to hold this one - possibly a praying mantis in the garden. The kids didn't hesitate at all though - they gently got it to climb onto a leaf and tipped it slowly...

This must be Superman's car

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 30 May

I don't know why superman would need a car if he can fly so well, but it looks like he has a regular Subaru Car to get to work. Only the little superman logo gives it away that it's probably modified for superman. I didn't get to...

Oops - a careless mistake on the road and a warning

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 28 May

I filled gas last week at night and as I exited the petrol pump to enter a side street, I saw lights of the cop car behind me and had to face the music. I had forgotten to turn the headlights back on and turned it on after a few...

I love red leafed trees

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 26 May

I saw this tree behind a friend's home as we had a little barbeque lunch together. I am fascinated by colors other than green on trees. This was a beautiful shade of red / orange and added a lovely vibe to the backyard. What...

Winter has brought early morning frost

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 22 May

Winter is quite chilly, but it doesn't get to freezing or snowing temperatures here. The temperature in the morning has seen a sudden drop from 15 degrees Celsius last week to 3 degrees this week. Woke up to misted, almost iced...

Finally a beach visit

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 20 May

It's been a while since we visited a beach. This wasn't exactly a beach visit - we had lunch at a restaurant by the beach side and walked past the beach. It was a windy, cool day and there was hardly anyone at the beach as it was...

Another shattered dream...

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 17 May

I have lost a couple of my favorite coffee cups this year and now it was the turn for one of my favorite glass tumblers to follow them to the bin. No dramas - an accidental bump and it lost its shape. This one was not of much...

Finding emergency vehicles when you enter work

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 15 May

It wasn't a pretty sight as I walked in to work from the car park with 2 fire engines and a couple of cop cars parked. There was no restrictions to us entering the building though. There's a lot of construction going on in parts...

Goodbyes are hard in the morning

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 14 May

This was a total stranger, but had already left us. This pretty butterfly had probably been injured overnight and was no more. It still looked pretty lying inside the grass. I put it up on the gate to experience the warmth of the...

A sequence change

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 12 May

This isn't Aussie humour - it's a shoddy tradie job. You could argue saying that the traffic signal sequence change warranted a sign that stated the obvious in a slightly different way, but in the end it's just a sign that wasn't...

The flower sellers had a ball on Mother's Day morning

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 11 May

Nope, the kids didn't buy the flowers. Blame it on me - I didn't give them the money and was working a 24 hour period till the morning. But then, the world understands that there are awesome people like me and the street sides...

Bottoms up?! This time it's a fruit and it's not my art or fault

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 10 May

I tried making a heart on my coffee and a good friend (hopefully!) commented that it looked like a bottom. She wasn't wrong. After that, I've been seeing bottoms in everything around. Look at this pear - it was just innocently...

My tryst with broken coffee hearts continues

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 10 May

For better or for verse, I'm staying loyal to my coffee art attempts and the broken hearts are aplenty. And Mylot is my reprieve from the ever-failing artwork that disappoints, yet keeps me going each morning. Don't be too harsh...

Would you visit this Aussie town?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 6 May

I checked Wikipedia and it says that the population is now 15. I'm sure those animal numbers are typical Australian humour. Apparently it has a place to eat and a motel and is on the lonely road between Adelaide and Perth. Would...

Would you follow this fun philosophy in real life?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 4 May

They do have weird philosophies and quotes on mugs and keychains and stuff like this. I don't think we're meant to take it seriously! Showing your undies may not be a great thing to do except at the beach. It can get you into...

What do you do with the corner slice of bread?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 2 May

The corner slice of bread is the most neglected piece of bread. I've seen several people who ignore it and throw it away. I don't mind eating it at all, except that I don't like it toasted What do you do with the corner bread...

How Shakespearean are you?

Pitstop @pitstop (15227) • Australia 30 Apr

I saw this little printout at work (wonder who has the time to do this!) that listed a whole lot of phrases that were apparently created or made popular by Shakespeare. I was surprised as some of them are really common ones we use...
