Then I’ll be drunk before you arrive

Whatever.

Just don't throw up all over my Diamond Club membership pack.

Git it in front of me, unopened, so you’ll have to open it when you get there so we can see your new card!

Afternoon all;

I must have missed this one first time around! As it so happens, I will be passing through Brisbane on Wednesday night, although not arriving until 2105 ( after a long day starting with my first flight at 0605 from MEL :shock: ).

Is this bar close to the Hilton?

And can someone pm me a mobile number I can call if I make it in time and am able to drop by for a bevvie?

 

[anat0l]

Will, you have PM.

Which flight arrives at 9:05pm; yes we probably could hang around until then.

QF1079 from ISA gets in at 2105, but please don't stay longer than you otherwise would just to wait for me! I will be reliant on flights being on time, and will have spent 16+ hours in the air and in airports so may well be nearly unconscious when I land. So I will try to drop by but I would hate to waste your time if I ended up not making it.

 

[Bundy Bear]

I will have a work colleague with me; for drinks night so add another 1.

Will probably arrive late and leave early but there is no way I could miss a Brisbane drinks night.

Will have to download some photos from the weekend.

Did I tell you how much fun it was. yeah it was good.

My sister will be joining me again, after all, it’s a cooked dinner.

 

[JohnK]

Should be there (or back here actually) ~5:30pm.

I am in the middle of cooking tomorrow night's dinner. Chicken and rice soup with egg and lemon. Delicious.

Will, I live here so if you feel like catching up for a drink or 2 after you arrive from Mt Isa that would be no problem just let me know beforehand. It is ~10 minute walk from the Hilton....

We’ll actually be making some chicken stock tomorrow and having chicken soup on Thursday.

What is that about great minds think alike?

As it is drinks night tomorrow night I will not have time to cook so I cooked today. When I do cook I usually make enough for more than 1 meal so I will probably be having chicken soup on Thursday as well. I love chicken soup.

 

[MAX_1]

I love chicken soup.

Do you make it Greek style, Avgolemono?

 

[JohnK]

Do you make it Greek style, Avgolemono?

That is exactly how I make it. I use 1 or 2 eggs and squeeze in a couple of lemons and then mix in boiled chicken stock. When the soup is ready mix the Avgolemono back into the soup to give the soup a nice yellowish colour and great taste.

But you can only make one serve, as it’ll curdle in the fridge?

I’m sure if I tried such a recipe I’d completely screw it up.

 

[JohnK]

On the contrary. It actually tastes better when refrigerated and then re-heated up a day or two later. The trick is not to microwave it when re-heating. Put chicken soup in a saucepan add some water and bring to a boil. Let it cool down a bit and then add some salt and more lemon and you have a great chicken soup.

I’m sure if I tried such a recipe I’d completely screw it up.

Why? It is a simple recipe and does not require a genius. If I can cook chicken soup with Avgolemono OK then I am sure you can as well.

 

[samh004]

You overestimate my cooking skills

Something new to try one day though.

Will be good to see you there, most likely we’ll be on a table out the front, but only if someone else hasn’t taken it first.

 

[samh004]

I'll be a little late for a change. The train broke down shortly after leaving the Gold Coast, complete with smoke drifting past the windows, a burning smell and a strange clunk from the wheels. It took about 30 mins of waiting at Coomera for a new train. The beer will be that much sweeter now!

I will be late as well. The 5:09pm service has been cancelled and the next train is the 5:35pm. Should be there around 6:00pm but I am not feeling well....
