Chatham Island fish flown in, strawberry choc-tops

Peter ordered the famous Chatham Island fish for us on Friday.  It was caught the day before and flown to Australia.  It tasted very fresh, pan-fried with silver beet, carrots and roast potatoes...

It was cold yesterday, so the hot food looked very steamy:

We went to Wicked Thai in South Yarra and shared a series of dishes with chicken, duck, veges and rice... Here is the hubby's pile of delicious flavours...

Then it was time for a German movie "Omamamia" at the festival and a strawberry choc-top (with white chocolate coating)... Even though I don't like white chocolate, this worked quite well and the strawberry icecream had real strawberry pieces in it... Well done Como cinema...

We laughed hard about the German Oma going to Rome and having an adventure... especially when she cleans the rock stars grotty apartment and cooks her own German style meal in a restaurant (because the chef didn't know how)!

Sweetness

This week brought many sweet things... including delicious home-made ginger ice-cream...

More crepes with friends at lunchtime in Scott Alley (off Flinders Lane, near Swanston Street)...

Amazing apple pie

Peter bought us an enormous apple pie with icecream for afternoon tea and we are still finishing it after 2 days!  Delicious pie with sugar crust... the icecream was especially nice.

To Paris for lunch

We escaped the winter cold to the little French Creperie Roule Galette at lunchtime.  No one was game to have the sweet one, but we loved our savory crepes and the french accents that repeated our orders to the chef.

Popeye - bechamel, mushroom, spinach and cheese:

Loving chicken

We had chicken sandwiches for lunch and added a capsicum heart (thanks cookie cutter) to the mix... including celery, lettuce, mayo and fresh roast chicken... on turkish bread...

For dinner we had spaghetti bolognese with grated cheese, fresh tomato, onion and garlic... and to make it a little healthier...

We piled on a greek salad... lettuce, feta, cucumber and tomato with balsamic dressing...

A fantastic feast in Hawthorn

We went to dinner at a beautiful home in Hawthorn last night and were treated to a fabulous feast... fish, chicken and pork... sticky rice... followed by an amazing gateau... Yum!
