Welcome to the dirty 30’s!!!

Today was a cause for celebration I guess… finally hit the big three-0
My lovely lady decided to take me to a fine steak establishment in the city called Chophouse - I must say, although we did order enough food for 4 people - we did well to polish it off!

Below is one of the best [...]

Election Party / SCG Farewells Roosy & Captain Kirk

So today Australia had to go to the polls and vote for a government who will do less damage than the other.
Election TV made for some rivetting television - NOT
So we made our way to a mate’s place across the road from the SCG and watched the “live telecast which is delayed by 30 mins” [...]

Not just any cake… THE ZUMBO CAKE!

If you’ve seen Master Chef Series 1, you’ll be familiar with the name “Zumbo”.
If you haven’t, then let me tell you more about this young Sydney based Chef with an African sounding Greek Name.
In July 2009, he put forward his creation to the dismay of the Masterchef contestants - It was a Chocolate Mousse Cake [...]

Feast compliments from Richie & Anna

The weekend of feasting had only just begun… Richie and Anna asked us over for a simple dinner… BEHOLD THIS SH!T (I’ve been saying that alot lately - catchphrase of a little car community I’m in)!
I could feel another visit to the hospital just looking at this roast.. but damn it would be worth every [...]

Ee’s Bday Dinner @ Waqu

 Ee’s Bday dinner… I’ll let the photo’s do the talking as I’m too damn full to type…
Dinner was ok for the money… Best dish tonight was by far the soft shell crab taco followed closely by the wagyu

Aroma Festival 2009

It was a beautiful Sunday today and it was just too damn good outside to laze about in my bed (although I still managed to spend an hour in bed pondering if I should get out and make the most of the day)…
The coffee in the air was refreshing… I haven’t had a coffee in [...]

The return to the good life

After what seemed like an eternity in hospital, a return to the good life was inevitable as soon as I was released from that depressing prison.
The usual breakfast of coloured jelly and packaged fruit was left in my wake… a visit to XXII was part of my rehabilitation (just don’t let my doctor know about [...]

Queens Bday Bay Run

Ahhhh long weekend… I was looking forward to a full day of sleeping in on the Queens Bday holiday today. My dreams of waking up and leaving my bed at dinnertime were smashed at 9am sharp this morning.
Instead of a planned lazy day in bed… My better half has suggested doing the “Bay Run” after [...]

Pecking on Peking Duck

My gall bladder has been warning me that this would be a bad idea all week… With the threat of another gall stone attack from a fatty meal (this would be been my third one this week)… Moderation was the (temporary) prevention measure…
It was hard not jamming this into my gob…
This is the second Peking [...]

Lunch at Newport Arms

Sunday morning… realised I haven’t washed my car in about 2 months so it was time for a bit of spit shine

No new scratches or dents… that’s a good sign (considering I park in areas with high concentrations of Asian drivers)
