The week in brief: 27 August – 2 September
This week’s post is short and sweet. But there is taco time x 2.
Wasn’t the sunshine this weekend fantastic? I made like a cat and plonked myself in the sun for a couple of hours today. Bliss.
Okay, food! There was a mid week dinner at Fonda with Hazzie and Gazman. Alastair and I shared a fish taco, a beef burrito and fries.
I thought the food was okay. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t amazing – I don’t know why people are so excited by it? It was a super fast meal – we entered, ordered, ate, and left in thirty minutes.
Hello, mid-week lunch! Pumpkin soup and a sandwich. The sandwich in particular was the shiz – a chorizo, cheese and relish toastie.
Yesterday we went to Newmarket Hotel for lunch with Maztech and Dazzle. I’ve had lunch there before, and just like my previous visit the food was fantastic. Naturally we had to have tacos to start – duck carnita and soft shell crab. Super delicious.
For mains, the boys had the burger, which was amazingtown. Maztech and I had pork ribs and beef brisket – our meal was good but I must admit I had slight burger envy. 😉
We ate so much that Alastair and I didn’t have dinner until 9.50pm. And for dinner we had… Shapes and a glass of wine. Gourmet!
As for Shapes, I have come to the realisation that I can never ever buy them because I have zero control when it comes to those freakishly addictive crunchy crackers. ARGH. No more! As soon as all the packets in our pantry are gone… uh oh.
Today’s breakfast was at Streat (formerly Social Roasting Company). I had chipotle spiced kidney beans with slices of pork belly, ahhh so good. Every breakfast should involve pork belly. When I rule the world, I will make it so.
And then I came home and baked an apple streusel cake. 🙂 Recipe to come.
It was a good weekend. And yours?

Oh no, I’m sorry. I thought the first photo was a mirror. How I feel the past few days. Eat, sleep, wake up, eat again. Can’t wait for your apple streusel cake recipe! You bake the most interesting cakes, I swear. I can’t believe October is so far away UGH!!!

Oh no apple streusel cake won’t go up until at least October. :p And it’ll be here before you know it!

shapes are evil. Evil, I tell you!
September 9, 2012 @ 9:15 am
They are! They’re on a mission to take over the world – one box at a time!

Ditto on the shapes. I could easily smash a whole packet at once, which is why I never buy them!
September 9, 2012 @ 9:14 am
I’m glad it’s not just me who could eat a whole packet in one sitting. So addictive.
September 3, 2012 @ 9:50 am
Yup, no shapes (or pringles for that matter) in our house either! Glad I’m not alone there 😀
How fabulous was the sunshine?! We all (2 dogs, cat and us) spent more time on the front verandah than we probably should have but it was just too nice to go back inside.

I don’t buy chips anymore and definitely no Pringles. Their slogan is so correct.
Sunshine is glorious – cant wait until summer 😀

I really need to try the Newmarket Hotel!
I have no control with shapes, in a biskits and anything like that!!
September 9, 2012 @ 9:06 am
Newmarket is awesome. You should go.
And I’m glad I’m not the only one with zero control with those stupid little biscuits.

I am another who cannot say no to Shapes. I try and only buy them when they are on sale. If they are in the house they don’t last very long, especially the BBQ ones.
September 9, 2012 @ 9:00 am
If I don’t open them I’m okay, but as soon as an open packet is around me – all is lost. Wah.
September 7, 2012 @ 9:14 pm
I could have a box of expiring shapes now that you mention it.. I just don’t eat these things! waaaa….
September 9, 2012 @ 8:58 am
You’re lucky you don’t eat them. They’re so addictive argh.

Defibitely heading to Newmarket to try those burgers.
Diet fail. Out of control. No Shapes for you! (appropriate exclamation)
