More San Sebastián Pintxo ..........

Your photos make me drool and take me right back to Spain.

I was robbed right after my big Pintxo night, and lost all the photos, so the next day I bought another phone and went back and did it all over again.....

Easter Sunday lunch with friends at Citron, Wilston. We were the only ones there. Very quiet in Brisbane today. Essentially Asian tapas. Yummy food.

Afternoon tea at Moores Hill

Checked out Bar Patron (part of Rockpool Group) in Sydney over the long weekend - and aside from a myriad of tacos, tostadas and guacamole - carne tortillas and corn chips and salsa. Great margaritas too. Is a really lovely spot (the old Ananas site at Circular Quay).

No fried Mars bars or battered mushrooms?

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best.

Tonight we were out for dinner and a table in the restaurant had a large brass family name plaque on it.
I guess that is one way to fix the old problem of DYKWIA. I won’t mention the name nor the restaurant but both of us were pretty surprised to see it. We did leave feeling amused.

Looks great but seriously, the fried chips in the yiros does my head in. Having asked both my greek dad in law (92) and mum in law (84) and numerous (and I mean numerous) older aunts and uncles, there was no chips in the yiros back in the old country so why do they do this?

I first had Yeeros and Souvlaki in pita bread in Australia and was surprised to see the Greek version with potato chips and tomatoes. The pita bread is also much shorter than the Aussie version.

Ah! Loch Prawns, as they call them.

Maybe better in the'travel mistakes' thread. My Italian is so bad I thought this was going to be a sort of light 'ploughman's lunch'.

Fortunately they gave me a little take-away box so it provided dinner as well.

A few things thrown together on a Friday night @GPH @benmay

 

[ALH]

First stop...a ”morning after” coffee





Then a gentle calming breakfast on the beach. @GPH had awful eggs. He should have gone with the Lambs Fry & Bacon.



Followed by a ‘light Japanese lunch’ to prepare for our Dinner tonight

 

[Denali]

Dinner tonight in Edinburgh, Galvin Brasserie de luxe. Bill ended up being £100 inc service charge and tip (no alcohol) so when I signed the bill, told them I was keeping the pen and I did.

Hubbys starter and dessert was from the daily special, recommended by staff (2 diff people) who were quite expressive in how good they were. Hubby said dessert was amazing.










What we had.
Asparagus salad.


Beetroot and crab.








Passionfruit and mango with choc honeycomb. Hubby was so impressed, he found the manager to commend the staff.
