Saturday Morning Breakfast

Love turning on Rage on a Saturday morning, putting the coffee on then cooking up breakfast. This morning consisted of homemade hash browns, sausages, baked beans, an egg and some of Mum's spicy tomato relish. Even better when there's the Saturday papers to read too!

Friday Night Fish Cakes

It was time to get the weber fired up again and decided to do fish cakes cos i haven;t had them in ages. With a cheap fish, like pink ling, some flour, an egg, kaffir lime leave, lime juice, fresh lemongrass and pepper, I made fish cakes for dinner. Also whipped up a little salsa consisting of tomato, cucumber, nectarine and corn with some lettuce. Woulda been better with a Tsing Tao, but there weren't any at the bottle'o so had to settle for a Henninger.

Birthday Dinner

I turned the ripe old age of 32 on Thursday and to celebrate, I went to The Junction Beer Hall for dinner. Whilst it's all polished floorboards and white walls, the dining is pretty relaxed. After a pint of Australian Ale, I had steak and chips, with a little bit of lettuce on the side and some garlic butter. The steak was pretty tasty, but a better condiment and side salad woulda been nice.

Wednesday Morning Coffee

I'd read about Patricia, and as Wednesday was my day in Bourke St, thought I'd drop in for my morning coffee. After falling in love with Seven Seeds in Lorne over the weekend, I was glad to see they had it on offer. Whilst waiting for my coffee, I was given a sample of a tasty Colombian brew! The coffee was great and the pear danish just topped it off!

Tuesday Night Ramen

After an extended long weekend in Lorne eating, drinking, swimming and more drinking, I'm trying to eat healthy this week. With a colder day today, I needed something to warm me up, so headed to King St for...some Ramen!! There's never anyone in this place, but it's pretty cheap, right near my house and the menu is on an iPad, that you use to send your order through too!!

PS, I didn't have the Spam entree, but did have the IPONDO Special Beef Ramen!

Huxtaburger in today's Epicure

After posting that I wanted to check out Huxtaburger, I opened the Epicure today to find it in the CHECK OUT... section, better get down there soon.

Also in today's Epicure was Larissa Dubecki's review on Albert St Food & Wine where Philippa Sibley heads up the kitchen. She gave it 15/20. I think I'll make my own judgement on that...and add Albert St Food & Wine to my "Places I wanna eat at before the end of Summer".

Sunday in Portarlington

After finishing dinner and getting ready to watch the Tomic v Federer clash, thought I'd give an update.  Started the day with sausages, home made hash browns, home grown tomatoes and an egg for breakfast. One of my favourite things in Summer is to have ice in my coffee for breakfast, something I picked up when I was in Japan!!

Moving on to lunch and there was still some salsa left. I cooked up some lamb and made mini souvas and squeezed some oranges to have a fresh OJ to go with it.

As we'd missed out on a drink at the new wine bar in Portarlington, I made a Beef Noodle Salad for dinner. Rice vermicelli noodles, marinated beef and yep, you guessed it, salsa, this time with cashew nuts! The best thing is that there's still enough left for lunch tomorrow!!
