Yogurt and coffee

Instant coffee, Moccona. Greek yogurt, pineapple flavour.

Potato and leek soup

Tinned. Campbell's.

Squashed cupcake

This is the last of the 6 Phil got on Friday. It's just right for now. All the M and Ms have gone soft.

Coffee from Veneziano

Their shop is a little noisy but I like being in the loft and being able to write away from people.

Ginger Kick tea by Higher Living

What I don't like is that there is a short moment when it will taste good, brewing time that is. Otherwise it is bitter.

Munching on Monday

I had red velvet cupcake for breakfast, which was part of the 6 that Phil got on Friday. Still delicious.

 This was the breakfast I made - crepes (with whole wheat flour) with bananas and a raspberry and strawberry stew up (it had honey, cinnamon and wine)

I totally forgot to take a photo of the chicken pesto pizza and lemonade that I ingested for lunch. I must have been that hungry. It was at the Boundary Hotel in West End.

 However, this was the dessert there, a lemon tart with double cream and ice cream.

 I had a hot chocolate at Suburban in West End, and also half of one of Phil's profiteroles.

 Dinner we tried to keep simple. A thin steak with mushroom cream sauce, fresh cucumber and some olives, and some honeyed carrots.

And dessert, we had to finish off the strawberries. There was a reason they were 59c a punnet, they were going mouldy. Again, white wine, honey, cinnamon and boiled up to a syrupy pulp. We had it over a caramel ice cream.

Sunday Food

It has been a pretty huge food day... Glad I don't eat like this all the time.

It started modestly, with a shared platter of fruit, including cheap ass strawberries (we have a strawberry glut right now), crispy watermelon, rather bland yellow melon, sweet kiwi, tiny banana.

 It was followed by 2 slices of bruschetta done the french toast way. I put chestnut paste over mine.

 I had a cup of coffee at lunch time. This was at Bar Alto at the Powerhouse.

 This is also at Bar Alto. It's gnocchetti in a pea and mint sauce. It was neither pea nor mint flavoured and needed some adequate salt and peppering.

 The dessert was not much better, being 3 scoops of gelati for $9: burnt caramel (extremely tasty), rum and raisin and green apple. It was the smallest serving I have ever seen. Go to Pane e Vino in the CBD for a good portion.

 For dinner, as it was the Autumn Moon festival, went out with the parents. We went to The Dining Room in Sunnybank. This is the free soup starter and a cup of genmai cha.

 This is a seafood and tofu dish.

 Salt and pepper quails.

 Beans with a mince sauce.

 Steamed whole fish, which my mother attacked the moment it landed, deboning the creature before I had dequailed my hands.

Black pepper steak - a bit chewy.

 Coconut jelly.

 Red bean syrup.

 More cups of cha.

 My rosehip tea at home with honey.
