Six eggs!? Wow, you must have been hungry.

I didn't eat this but a friend posted this picture of her daughter's wedding cake today - wedding in London. I think its meant to be a bit goth?

Looks awesome.

I wasn't meaning to be rude by the way. I struggle with a 3 egg omelette. Wouldn't be game to try double!

Lamb shanks with homemade linguine and my first attempt at sourdough bread.

This was from a recent lunch in Glen Waverley. Sadly they were looked better than they tasted (aka I've had too many awesome dumplings that good is not good enough):

And this was breakfast - a cafe in the old stadium in the area. Beef cheek on a macaroni cheese rosti with a sriracha hollandaise and poached eggs:

Which dumpling place?

Google tells me it was Paradise Rd - it was in the main Glen Waverley shops area.

Other place ace was The Last Piece cafe - Mulgrave. In the area again this week for work so hope to have a repeat visit.

Have you got a pasta machine or do you make it by hand?

We've got the philips pasta machine. Before that, I used to do it by hand.

Dinner was a very satisfying goulash (Bill Granger's recipe) with buttered pappardelle. And washed down with some Curly Flat Williams Crossing Pinot.

Very very tasty.

More seafood. This time a cold platter. Delicious.

Pulled Pork and rice with beans from "Rasta Pasta" - a Jamaican/Italian food cart at a street market in Kensington Market District- Toronto. Just down from a couple of Cannabis Dispensaries and with a few joints being smoked on the street.

That's certainly one fusion cuisine I've never even considered.

This photo is from last year - but a very memorable meal for me. A friend was building a shack on a tiny slivet of an island off the north coast of Colombia - sort of near Cartagena. I went there to help him a couple of days. There is no power, nothing, very primitive. I slept on the beach. And in the morning breakfast was this - a big chunk of deep-fried parrotfish, patacones (fried plantain), a squeeze of lime, and a cup of milo. May have been my hunger, but possibly the best breakfast I have EVER had! (and I have done the eggs benny at the QF Sydney Flounge )

It is a very interesting area - ver alternative. The food stalls are varied, from burgers to vegan with lots of South American being available.

The Rasta Pasta wasn't even the strangest, there was Caribbean/Filipino and even more bizarely, Hungaran/Thai advertising a Schnitzel/Pad Thai combination.

 

[juddles]

.... Hungaran/Thai ....

Now that is truly bizarre!!!

Turkish Eggs - great start to the day!

No trip to Sydney is complete without hot cakes from bills
