My favourite things in August

Geez louise, this year is tickin' along and we can't believe we are seeing snippets of summer and trekking full force right through to Christmas.

This month we've been lovin...

1. Tokyo Bike
The newest edition to the 31stsecond office, she's light, fast and a city commuter bike that has the strength to go from suburb-to-suburb. Straight out of Japan, these Japs sure-do know how to make good gadgets. Jadore.

2. Barbeques and Beetroot sausages
Rach and Libs were all over this like-white-on-rice. We hoovered these pork and beetroot sausages quicker than you can schazam that song. Pick them up at Dulwich Hill Gourmet Butchers, and a little word of warning - locals know these puppies sell out by midday so chopity-chop! Check them out here.

3. Feast Magazine
SBS's newest edition to their successful foodie empire. The velvety cover got me in, great graphics and no-nonsense styling totally had us by page 3. With lots more than just recipes - this mag - takes you through butchery how-to's and SBS's signature 6 billion stories and counting philosophy focusing on how food enhances story telling and is a cultural enhancer. Check the mag out here.
