Day three - 29th of October 2010

Started today with an apple, a banana and a sneaky piece of garlic bread. ( I love it any time of the day). It was followed at lunch time by a salad and some of Gunny's left over Jambalaya.



I went out to dinner with Kuseah, Sarsha, Sarah, Nathan and Olivia at Nero's cafe in Epping. They are a small Italian cafe who serve lovely pastas and amazing garlic bread. Yum. Of course Kuseah was late so Sarah, Sarsha and i started off with some garlic bread. It was amazing. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Seriously. As you can see below, we also had some wine... well... i had some wine. Lots and lots of wine.


There was a Caravella function upstairs (think the Sopranos of Epping) so it was really busy. Dinner was taking longer than usual. There was some sort of screw up in the kitchen and they made an extra chicken pesto pasta (Sarsha's fav). So Nel gave it to us to snack on while we waited for our real meals. It was pretty good! You can see i'm getting more and more "happy" by the quality of my photos. How funny.


I ordered the gnocci with sausages and sweat potato in a tomato sauce. Not going to lie, i liked the chicken pesto better but you win some you loose some. I'll know for next time.


Yes so as i was saying before there was plenty of wine consumed at this dinner. It was Wednesday, we were in Epping. Nathan and Olivia live in the city so Kuseah and i decided to show them what Epping on a Wednesday was all about. Don't fall for the trap! No matter how drunk you are Epping is never the right idea. So our classy (and i use the term loosely...) dinner turned into...


and



Geez.

Sarah Keast, over and out!

It feels weird...



... it's like throwing up everything you have
eaten today and seeing it all there in front of you!



MISH!

Man-Heels

I'M DANE FUCKING RHOOK, THAT'S WHO!

So, this week I haven't been that keen on meat or milk. Don't ask me why... it's a stage that I often go through. I'm usually forced to eat meat because that is what's made for dinner (well, I make it for my family). This week, however, I have no parents so I get to make my own dinners. 

This morning I was in zombie mode until I got half way to work when I realised I forgot my muesli bar (oh noes!). So when I got to work I bought myself a slice of toasted Pear & Raspberry Bread along with my usual double-shot soy cap.


[leave my phone camera alone]


It was OK. I still would have preferred my muesli bar. 

Next came lunch. It was leftover Moroccan Sweet Potato, Carrot & Chickpea Soup with toast. It was peppery & marvellous. 


[no, I didn't finish my crossword :( ]


Uhh, I got home & turned the oven on. I had decided that I really wanted sweet potato crisps (I know, I'm probably going to turn orange). Then I saw some Turkish bread staring up at me screaming at me to smother it in garlicky butter & toast it. So I did.


[better camera this time]


It was definitely smothered in garlicky butter, then followed by dried oregano & cheese then I grilled the hell out of it (to golden brown). 

Jemma Rhook & I enjoyed it very much.

So I ended up slicing a sweet potato & putting them in the oven. I also got a field mushroom & put that on the BBQ along with some slices of Turkish bread. Then I assembled this Mushroom Burger:




It had mushroom, basil, tomato, red onion, cucumber, avocado, baby spinach, baby rocket & aioli. 

I realise that today was all about bread. Everything I ate incorporated bread. Tomorrow I'm going to try & not have bread. 

Ta. 


what a crazy hectic day!

rice bubbles again for breakfast. you are probably going to find me to be a very boring eater, i generally stick to the same stuff.

was working really hard on my project sewing away like a crazy person all morning and didn't want to stop too long for a lunch break but started getting woozy.. so i fixed myself some vegemite and butter on toast, wholegrain of course. i HATE white bread. quite a good thing really.

needed an afternoon snack again today. i think my sewing wore me down so much i was starting to feel woozy and wanted sugar. normally, i would have made cookies but i didn't have time to waste on that so i asked my sister to make pie. she is a terrible baker but makes amazing pies. we call her the pie queen in our house. she developed a love of pies like a year ago or something, i think because she bought a book of 500 pie recipes. and now she has a number of books in her collection. she had to make to with what was in the house so took a recipe for pear and almond pie (a household favourite) and used strawberries in place of pears. it was not as good as the pear version but still delicious and just what i needed. i wolfed it down in all of a second.


my dad was meant to cook dinner tonight but was off doing something, probably rehearsing with his band (yeah hes a mad musician and plays guitar in a band with a bunch of other old dudes. they're actually really rather good) anyway it was kind of fend for yourself tonight. my brother and sister had oven pizzas that were in our freezer but i really didn't want any. when i finally stopped for dinner (sewing DONE :D ) i couldnt be fucked to make anything so decided to just heat up some leftovers from last night. i reckon coconut noodles taste better the next day anyway.
.

anyway speaking of project, i really should get back to it!!

ciao for now,
Emma
