food

Somehow this seems to be one of the best things to blog about... But well one has to eat whether we like it or not... So might as well enjoy the experience and the wonderful food... Meat and Wine Co at Darling Harbor or to be more exact at the Imax center has some rather interesting food... The skewers were really good- chicken, beef in various cuts and salmon... always good when accompanied by a nice bottle of wine...
This was at Jordons seafood at Darling Harbor... It is their famous seafood platter for 2. One would definitely eat till one pops... But it is a really good feed... a crab, morton bay bugs, lobster, oysters, muscles, squid, octopus and of course fish and chips... think i still prefer prawns to lobsters as there is more flavor in them and it doesn't feel like I am just chewing on a big tasteless prawn... Oh well might as well enjoy them all when there is the chance...

baking....

Ok... It is not a good idea to decide to start baking at 2200... Not a good look at all... I mean hey by the time all the things are done it is way past midnight... Okie I am slow so sue me...Considering I had t do a cake and cookies- I don't think I did that badly... Haha yeah right.... I decided to bake another lot of cup cakes this morning and they sure smelt good... Eaten one already... Now to decide how to decorate them or ice them...Hmmm... Oh and it is really tricky when there are no oven mittens in the house... I burnt my finger! What's new?

Oh and we had house inspection yesterday which was a nice adventure...

Anyway time to start working.... It is going to be a week of feasting as there is pizza night on thursday and bring a plate on friday...

Yummy

It was a weird sort of day... Technically I am writing about what happened yesterday if one is being totally technical here... Martha and I woke up and decided to make pancakes... So we got everything going and made the pancakes... Which are actually quite nice to eat... Considering we had asparagus and beef as well as the pancakes... So it was savory pancakes for brunch... We decided to go shopping and off we took ourselves to Hornsby which was good as there is a really yummy desert place- we both had a chocolate éclair which i ate faster than her! hahaha... but that was lunch... For dinner we decided to have chips with salt and vinegar... so off we went to the expensive shop to get chips to chuck in the oven to bake... Martha had an egg with her chips and I had a couple of pieces of fish... then i had a massive craving for ice cream and drove all the way to Circular Quay to get some... part of the reason was for us to get out of the house after having a rather lousy day... no comments about the day as per say... it was bad...

okie time to sleep before the sun rises and the birds start to squawk...

Gluttony and exessive behaviour

This has been a weird week of all sorts of things...

Started the week with a pop corn and movie on Monday night at the administration building.... Had the usual salted pop corn which is not my favorite to say the least... think I am more of a sweet popcorn person any day...

Had Post grad drinks on Friday night... Did not realize that there are so many post grad students dotted around the village... the drink was good- actually it is my favorite way of drinking champagne! So that went down well. Had chocolate fondue to go with it... The strawberries were the first thing to disappear- a real luxury when one is on a student budget!

Thursday was an interesting sort of day all things considered!
Firstly, I drove Martha to University and after dropping her off decided to take a drive out to Castle Towers for a change of environment and a different place to shop... Getting there was easy and I went crazy in the household shops (any one surprised?) and found some really good buys... Ok I admit the real reason for going to Towers was the Popcorn... I was so happy to discover that the shop still existed and I ended up being a sucker for specials and bought 2 bags of popcorn instead. Got an assortment of caramel, butterscotch and chocolate. Gave one bag to Sze Rhui who was pining for sweet popcorn and the girls finished the whole bag that same night as it was comfort food.

Secondly, it was the night of Summer Haze at the SAM bar... off we went as usual to drink our free drinks out of plastic cups... We all ended up with an assortment of soft drinks as we are all trying to use up the free credit loaded onto our SAM card... Had a really terrible lemon lime and bitters... It is officially the worse drink I have had! Not to be repeated I guess... Wonder what went wrong...Ok that was the night I received a new name- Social escort! For starters it was raining so I had to pick Martha up after her class, came back to the apartment and then back to the SAM bar... Next got bored and some of us decided to come back... So off we went braving the rain and walked back... Got back, had a shower then felt worried about Martha as I wasn't sure if she was all alone... Walked back to SAM bar to realize that she wasn't alone but the girls that were with her wanted to go home... So back into Martha's car I got and drove the girls home... Next it was to pick up Martha... Decided to go to Shirlynn''s place to wait till that happened... So now you can see why the term Social escort...

The weekend was time out and chill time too... Oh and I broke my no Macers rule- had a lean beef burger from there!!!!

Anyway I am off... time to figure out what to eat tonight... Had a new experience last night of having cereal and yogurt for tea... Yes I know that is suppose to be a breakfast food but well meals can get rearranged once in a while...
