I have a wide variety of interests, and enjoy many hobbies, such as
photography, graphic arts, cooking, gardening, music and corresponding
with friends in many countries. I have also recently developed a Web design
business, which utilises the many skills I have developed over the years.
The links below relate to interests I have been able to pursue in more
depth through the growth of information technology. If you have discovered
Web sites that you think might be of interest to me, please email me.
Chat
 Modschat
is full of 50+ people from around the world.
If you have a microphone as
an integrated feature of your computer system, you can talk (like a regular
telephone call) online with people all over the world using either Excite
Voice Chat or
NetMeeting.
ICQ
is another means of talking regularly with your friends, and can be downloaded
free.
Gardening
Online
Global Gardening is interesting and informative. It was Australia's
first national online gardening magazine, and offers well-informed views,
news and tips on the art and science of gardening in Australian conditions.
Herbs
Visit my
cyber herb patch. It's full of herb-related information, recipes, potions
and lotions.
If you're keen to find out
(or, learn more) about herbs, you'll discover lots of fascinating information
at Herbnet, including medicinal and culinary
uses of herbs, links to related sites, and reference pictures.
Cooking
Sheila's
Recipes is the place to go to view my recipe pages. I have gathered
some of my personal culinary favourites, as well as those contributed
by friends around the world, so new recipes will be added on a weekly basis.
If you have a recipe that you would like to have included, just E-mail
it to me. I cook and photograph all the recipes, so be patient!
The
Vegetarian Society of the UK has a fine selection of vegetarian recipes.
I am not a vegetarian, but that doesn't stop me enjoying the site and the
food!
www.GourmetSpot.com
is
worth bookmarking for the simple fact that you can't live on-line alone.
We all need food! Something to drink would be nice too! GourmetSpot offers
a massive database of recipes. It also has information on wine, beer and
other drinks, as well as explanations about the fine art of cocktail making.
You can even learn about starting your own herb garden, or how to pack
a picnic basket!
Veggies
Unite is another vegetarian site that provides tips for cooking and
growing your ingredients.
Epicurious
Food has almost 9,000 recipes. The site allows you to do keyword searches,
browse by category, or check the latest additions.
The
Internet Epicurean provides recipes, entire menus, and a forum for
cooks. This site is full of mouth-watering goodness!
Mamma's
Dining Room is another informative site where, apart from browsing
through a comprehensive range of recipes, you can also register for Mamma's
tips of the week.
Want a
"recipe of the day"? You can find one under "Family & Kids" at:
http://www.geocities.com/gadgetfactory
Music
The
Shellac Shanty has lots of very old 78 rpm jazz records, and links
to similar sites. Well worth a visit!
Bourbon
Street provides a feast of jazz.
For a taste of contemporary
Aboriginal music, visit Yothu
Yindi.
Dogs
www.dog.com
is an exhaustive database of information covering all things canine. Search
for information on specific breeds, read dog-related news items, post a
doggie question on the message board, or browse the dog photographers'
gallery.
Drinks
IDrink
is for people who take their drink seriously. Select from a list of 162
alcoholic and non-alcoholic recipes. Everything from Amaretto to Zima!
Wines from around the world:
Australian,
Californian
and French
The
Wine Planet is the place to go when you feel like spending money online!
Here you'll find information about wine, reviews, and a search engine that
will track down popular vintages at less than retail price.
Art
Browse through the art galleries
of the world. Perhaps you may be motivated to visit your local gallery
or museum after this experience! Le
Louvre, Tate Gallery, National
Gallery of Australia, National Museum
of American Art.
I have listed only some of the interests I have. I will endeavour to
add some other topics as I have time.
