Someone around here …
REALLY likes Daniel Craig!
Of Dinner Parties
First there must be the perfect Vinegar.
Then the perfect Olive Oil.
Combine with an Almond Dukkah.
And fresh baked Turkish bread! This is to begin.
In a jug combine red wine, lemonade, sugar, cointreau, an orange, a lemon, an apple, and an unpictured ruby grapefruit. Voila! Sangria! (Should that be Olé?)
All of this,
Some of these,
and chopping …
and then get so involved in conversation with your guests that you don’t manage to get photos of either the finished paella, nor the chocolate coated strawberries that were for desert!
Blogging fail = Dinner Party WIN!
I’ll do better next time!
Centrepoint Tower
With our Annual Passes fast running out, we thought we’d best make use of one of the venues while it’s free.
So last Thursday on a slightly over cast day, we headed on up to what is now the Sydney tower, but in my heart will always be Centrepoint.
On a clear day you’re meant to be able to see to Ayres Rock (with assistance). This was not a clear day.
North – Harbour Bridge and beyond that, the family.
West – Darling Harbour (and though not visible, our house!)
South – I work in that jungle …
East – Watsons Bay makes the best fish and chips! Slightly out of shot: New Zealand.
Back a bit, and in a bit to: Kings Cross (Coke sign to the left) and Taylor Square (below the SCG to the right).
A tourist gimmick!
Damn I love this city ☺
The Unwanted Guest
Breaking Routine
Going away for a week can really make you feel better about the world. You know?
In a city that won’t soon forget the last year and a half,
we sat and had coffee next to this little guy after experiencing a 5.8, and then an hour later a 6.0.
For giftmas we were safe, and had family around us. Highlight of my day was holding the 4month old and being the only one who could get him to go to sleep.
By Boxing Day we were on roads surrounded by rolling hills,
dotted with sheep and flowers.
Our aim was for a small French village.
Which we found.
I started a new circular shawl,
we went out on the boat,
there was a dolphin hunt,
fresh blue cod for lunch,
and perfect sunsets.
I hope your holidays are full of family and fun, and that the coming year is easier than the last one.
Happy New Years Eve everyone!
