top five: links

1. The $120 Food Challenge. Sandra (we got on a first name basis about 5 minutes ago) started this healthy/budget cooking blog when she was unemployed, on Centrelink and had a family to feed for $120 a fortnight. Which is $60 a week. Which is nothing; if Carney and I ate on $60 a week we'd be millionares. Now I think Sandra has a job teaching people about cooking and her blog is being made into a book. Nice story, eh? Also she has a whole section called 'make it with mince' - a cooking category most under-utilised.

2. This awesome website Do yoga with me has free online yoga and pilates workouts.  It's great - I've been doing some of Fiji McAlpine's (this and this) - but there's a heap to choose from.  You pick from level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), from intensity (relaxing, vigorous, etc.), and also type (power, vinyasa, etc.). 

3.  Food/wellbeing blogs can be a bit nauseatingly ethical/'Pollyanna'-ey, but I luhrve Sarah Wilson's. Because I lurve Sarah Wilson.  We have a one way relationship in which she  says things like 'eat organic sheeps milk yoghurt and meditate' and I talk about doing it.  She's just written and released an e-book about quitting sugar.  The 'sugar' includes fructose, which is the sugar in fruit.  Her book makes the bold and outlandish promise to make you a nicer person, so I've gifted it selectively.           

4.  My secret shame.  Links to all kinds of free tv shows.  Like America's next top model. Like Jersey Shore.  If you're into that sort of thing, which I am like, totally not. I only watch documentaries about the middle east/Palestine and other such things dripping with educational value.  


5.  The Brick House.  I wish our house looked like this. Instead our combined style orients more in this direction:

I am mostly to blame.
