https://joanspiller.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/arancini-recipe-2

Because life is for the living. An epic-curious look @ life. Posted by: Joan Spiller. June 17, 2015. Arancini – Recipe. I always have leftover risotto. And confess, sometimes I do it on purpose solely so I can have arancini the next day😉. Arancini is something that is a bit fiddly to make but OH so worth the effort. Just ask my lovely wwoofer who is staying now and has begged me to type this up after I showed her how to make them . So, just for you Izzy (Isi! As well, you need the following ingredients:.

Introducing Roxy! | Because life is for the living..

Because life is for the living. An epic-curious look @ life. Posted by: Joan Spiller. June 2, 2012. Yes, we have a name – finally. It took awhile, she simply didn’t “fit” most names nor did she display characteristics that fitted any particular name, as some pets do. Well, if we were to name her based on her behaviour, I’d have to call her chicken! As I write this, it’s a glorious sunny day in Hawke’s Bay. The sun is streaming inside and Roxy is sprawled (see the pic below, it’s not...Out asleep a few fe...

Because life is for the living. An epic-curious look @ life. Posted by: Joan Spiller. July 9, 2015. Bidding a new (but dear) friend “farewell”. You know when you meet someone and realise that they’re something kinda special? I was fortunate enough to experience this recently and, while so very sad that they’re gone, I’m also so. Delighted they were here! You see, in this instance the person who I now consider to be a lovely friend (or maybe the other daughter I didn’t know I needed! Izzy asked me to corr...

Because life is for the living. An epic-curious look @ life. Posted by: Joan Spiller. July 21, 2015. RIP to a great man. I’m experiencing a confusing sense of happiness and extreme sadness as I type this post. My grandfather (Russell Spiller) died today, hence the feelings of sadness. But – as always happens.

In my blog – as I wax lyrical about what a cool person I made (grin) well there are others I’m extremely fond of . for example: Corinne and Russ, my grandparents. Then there is the immediate “what can I get you – a drink of something? 8221; from either but usually that job falls to Granddad . And if we are al...
