Bite Me – Again

/ friends, Sydney Food / 2 Comments

I’ve been raving about the Bite Me burgers to Alec for months, and finally had him try it for himself last night.

Alec’s long arms enable him to take awesome shots like this.

Me and Bev.

Bev loves a freebie.

The men look manly.

Me and Bev take two.



Mmmm Vegetari-Anne burger.

Bev’s meaty burger.

Lisa’s bohemath.

Alec chows down.


Lisa’s burger turns into a full meal.

Yum yum yum.

Bev tells us how she really feels.

Don’t even ask.





Dessert – yummo! Vanilla ice cream and choc biscuit.

Double choc.

Caramel pecan – I think I will get this next time.


Beverly’s camera was lost (and recently found!) in Hong Kong. She hijacked my camera out of camera-deprivation.

Teppanyaki, The Rocks

/ Sydney Food / 1 Comment

I’ve never had teppanyaki before, so it was good practice to try it at the Rocks before going to Japan. We Took Phuongie to The Rocks Teppanyaki for a farewell lunch on a very wet and cold Thursday afternoon.

A seafood entree.

I think Phuong is right to be scared. It looks weird.

My deep fried veges. Does this mean they’re not healthy?



Very obliging chef.



Watch my veges fry!


This bean sprout thing was amazing.

More veges! Very well seasoned.

Big lump of glistening meat for the carnivores out there.

Green tea ice cream. Yuuum.

Some kind of vodka shot.


The Great Pool Championship

/ friends / 1 Comment

What was meant to be a night of bowling ended up being a night of fierce pool competition at James Squire pub. I haven’t played in literally years, but my mojo came back after a slow start and I remembered how much I love to play! It was a great night, catching up with Shell and Eric and finding out that Alec really is right about the super powers contained in his feet. With his shoes on, he was an average player. As soon as the sneakers came off, he was a pool shark. Interesting!









Good Friends, Good Food

Four of my oldest girlfriends and their partners came over for dinner tonight. Nothing much to say except it was a really good night of catching up and eating 🙂

Alice’s Housewarming Party

After a day in the outer west, we went to Alice’s new abode in the inner west. One thing I love about having vege friends is being able to eat everything at a party. Woo!




Pav Of Glory

There are few things I love as much as my mum’s pavlova. She made me one last night – just because. Awww.



Chinta Ria – Temple of Love

I love love this place. We went to Chinta Ria for lunch to welcome a new work colleague – the perfect way to spend a Friday.

Roti – yummmm.

Vege hokkien noodles.


My teams chows down.

Lust-Have: Winter Shoes

/ Shopping / 1 Comment

The last few winters I have slowly built up my dream shoe collection, which includes lots of boots basically. I realised last winter however that I also have a need for closed-in winter shoes to wear with stockings for work, hence my search for the perfect Mary-Janes.

Hallelujah, thanks to Karina for recommending these beauties from Mollini.

Definitely, Maybe

/ Sydney Life / 1 Comment

I wasn’t very keen to see this movie based on the previews that had been screening as it looked formulaic, fluffy and boring. I read some decent reviews however and decided to give it a go with Lisa on our movie night.

We were both really pleasantly surprised with how fun and non-cliched it turned out to be.

Will (Ryan Reynolds) is unlucky in love. He has a beautiful daughter who, on the eve of his divorce, wants to know the story about her mother and how they got together. He tells her a story about the three loves of his life, one of whom is her mother, and she has to work out which one her mother is from the story. It sounds cheesy, but is actually adorable, smart, witty and romantic.

I really loved seeing Isla Fisher as one of the love interests – she’s so very Aussie without being ocker. Sassy, adorable and fun – also really tiny!

A definite date movie. I will be going back for seconds!
