I had a Beef, Mushroom and Leek pie with salad while Tammy had the Beef in Burgandy Pie with salad then we shared a Cezanne and Mille Feuilles, I loved the Mille Feuille which was: -<br /><em>Layers of delicate puff pastryand vanilla crème pâtissière, dusted withicing sugar<br />The Cezzane was a Chestnut mousse which was good but not as good as the previous.<br /></em></div><br /><div>Then we went shopping which consisted of myself purchasing a top for my new job (of which totally broke my budget) as well as a jacket and a CD (gotta love specials).<br />After a giant load of money been given to various retail stores Tammy and I decided on dinner at <a href="http://www.masuya.com.au/en/musashi/index.html">Dining Bar Musashi</a>- Japanese</div><br /><div>I had the agedashi Tofu and Wagyu Beef with rice whilst tammy had the Takoyaki and Salmon Sashimi and we both share Edameme and both had a Japanese cocktail which was delicious. The service was super fast we were in and out in less than an hr!<br />I want to go back again</div><br /><div>On Thursday with mine, Hamish and Chris farewell we went to <a href="http://www.kingsleyssteak.com.au/limeStreet.html">Kingsleys Steakhouse </a>on Lime St.</div><br /><div>What can I say? I expected alot, the waitress was nice....but overall it was a disappointment but lets start at the beginning.</div><br /><div>I ordered the Duck Ravioli for Entree, this I must say was delicious!</div><br /><div>But that was the only thing that went right for me I ordered a Rare steak which i always order and got a Medium which while soft, tasted like charcoal, of course people who had their meals delivered the way they want would say 'oh whats wrong...'trying to make it not a big deal but its these people that would crack the biggest shit if it were them that did not get what they ordered. Lulu on the right got the Steak Diane that Peta ordered and Peta got the Petite fillet that Lulu ordered and as both were in unknown territory didnt realise until half way when they each looked at their meals. Sids steak was evidently rare when he had ordered medium, my boss got chips instead of the baked potato.</div><br /><div>I must say though, the garlic mushrooms were delicious!</div><br /><div>When I called the waitress to tell her my steak was medium instead of rare she told me that it was rare (my steak was cooked right through) and when i compared it to someone elses so show what rare was she told me if i wanted a new steak it would take another 20 mins! She offered a free wine but really i had wine and I wasnt paying so i didnt care about wine i wanted a steak! I was over it by then though. </div><br /><div>I ordered a creme brulee for dessert, it was ok...</div><br /><div>I have been left with a bitter taste in my mouth due to my experience at Kingsleys ...<br /><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046814266635236898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPYy3qUXkCY2vOv3bPW__aigAyee4V0XPKGanuSsuQXKFnbVOGVtZKBRvQhk4rHvOdQ0uhpWEpf994R37rOzY31FOW7yGauhwB7H0s8u4ZiKssIm3GrGvYu1E8eEbiKgajKMJ2eozpRPs/s320/CIMG0950.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046814962419938866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1ROlkZC_5WRbH3RwubE_TtY_o6Qbb8bogZ4b8de3u4R9V-d-OYvcksoEurdSA7zJRSOhrtoS4n0Y3G6s2JSjlxo51uAU68TeVgZT3uC9Z1uBH1C6XYh5Ihv49WSbc6b6ZGHRnjB-OVU/s320/CIMG0952.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046815211528042050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgbA08lNrFAp12VrPkg1FRla7qdXZ3O2rcNSXPjx7Ko2HFJbL5u4lsrarbGzCVEcO4eovK_TUbLEKX1Eq4N_xSW6bcf0LBUch6KGaEv9AT4rEjJb7rsdIODvVeyc5512lEQsjr_1F5xs/s320/CIMG0954.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046815649614706258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgs4IS38koXLxKWQGFRRGjtrQQoE7E_gOzZnPVRJzh0x6iLYG_9T4T4IERK-d5R7pFZpLwSE2vlnruwJSUO_WIK5dq-AA_1iWmIsb7oAgeGHfPuxUkx4JwYDf0zklhf2yt_2tfQ1Yd_x8/s320/CIMG0956.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046815920197645922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwArWTQbUtoLl-ojqUX7mXBb3Z6L9iK63mWfwnfl3fP4z_8RVs9OftOzqMmVXAFaKT4kR9lJfipI8XDWRrVJrsooRyQZYJfGglAtUdf6a2-6xiObgkGXyMPInp87y7TUqV0vgsKDSgJIk/s320/CIMG0960.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046816207960454770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYfvVKNGh7c3j6-kt1X79nt2jYhGvbUgPSNP-BCTgMnevme6kSNsZcFMYJlxDqUJV6YFEc7CVn3oipTUD6JCZ-CreR_3MyrVrFOkOde2iiq02D8srr6YCRgxMypniaSzv_D076NFVjRAI/s320/CIMG0958.JPG" border="0" />Thyme to Feasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17766639845115318378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518101423944963143.post-55898186827126203472007-03-18T12:44:00.000+10:302007-03-18T12:54:53.997+10:30Hearty BreakfastWith the drinking episodes I have had since Wednesday (new job soon woohooo) i decided to make a delicious breakfast and enjoy my Sunday (ok I have to clean this messy flat and get off the Internet but anyway).<br /><div>I decided on making a chorizo, toamto, egg concoction in my pan.</div><div></div><div>In this order I popped in my pan chopped onion, sliced chorizo, garlic, canned tomato, oregano, smoked praprika then let it cook for 15 minutes so the sauce became thick and rich. I then took the pan off the heat and cracked 4 organic eggs in each section of the pan and returned to the heat. When the whites became slightly opaque I covered with a lid. When cooked through i grated some parmesan and put a couple of droped of tobasco on each yolk... YUMMMMM</div><br /><div></div><div>Served it up with some rocket which i coated in mustard seed oil and red wine vinegar and mixed grain bread (it was all i had).</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043083287378484898" style="DISPLAY: block;

Thoughts? Tammys Chocolate Tempatation was delicious, my Creme Brulee did not have enough of the caremal top so when I cracked it I realised there was onle a layer in the middle and the berries inside the custard were giving the custard a weird colour....(I dont like fruit that much...ok my friends who read this would say not at all)</div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043069732461698610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj68WBj-vLxxC_iGzcR6RFhupBsxgHySk7yM8VbR9NE6jeM45z2zguiszN5gG84Z5Rn-pmN84epKRcssbgoWcwVVzqWDJv-dmDlEojeGJYsPSa2SAyKIOtWfLhwoOe0oNHTvWkQm2ey34g/s320/CIMG0905.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043070119008755266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigw4NoHlt1Xnwa58yw0f47tJ3X-5RyExbJFP22x07b-toVeKDFGs78XPynMZSDFrgUVllNt44uTOcbXU9fmJtz07UvNJkamvmciYa_rboEZZ-IEsPn3QNunDRIgfUeVU2f5pg9EeshjNQ/s320/CIMG0906.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>Overall the service was great although the waiter thought I was a critic and wouldnt let go of that even though I kept sayibng I wasnt and that this was a personal thing, I also think he was trying to pick up my friend.

After we finished our meals I asked the the waitress if there was a dessert menu to which she said loudly 'HUH' I kind of moved my head back and said a little louder 'is there a dessert menu' Eddie laughed because he could see how shocked i was not in a bad way i was just caught off gaurd. I decided on Churros con Chocolate quoted on the menu as: -<br /><em>“Churros” are finger-like pastries coated in sugar and cinnamon. Traditionally they are served with “chocolate”, a smooth rich hot chocolate in which the churros are dipped. “Churros con Chocolate” is a favourite for many Spaniards after a long night out.</em><br /><br />Yummo i couldnt wait...I got the waitress's attention and ordered the churros to which she asked 'And den?' like that movie...Dude wheres my Car...it was freakin hilarious! Then i waited.....and waited ....and waited....finally Eddie asked for the Bill thinking she may have forgotten to put the order in but when we got the bill the Churros were there so we decided to wait. The waitress came and went to take our bill to whhich i said 'im just waiting on the churros' and she looked startled and said 'oh your churros' and ran off then i waited and waited then she came back and cleaned a table and while walking down the stairs said 'i will go check on your churros'. finally she came...with CHURROS YEY. They were hot and delicious maybe not worth the wait but still they were good.<br /><br />Overall it was a good night I just might not get dessert again.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031719750639514002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcO541z6g2Dj-1vJHvXnlHeqVb39CC1fTBdCMSocYET7hgPyIdK8ht9KRMkznNTRHYizT20Zio4NLXE2Dhq8v7cOKIq7jUdzVhmsoKNQ4Arwzsyzeq5hPf9S3RALD3ZpXsvccHMsyGN0/s320/CIMG0694.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031720223085916578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiol8wloTvcya9uCARfaPrFKlvTsfX0olIzaJnv8ypg0jO3BxmmzjwvinPKq1cGUNjvDre9xUadzNulpsghaIAgN_2-ugZ_KCr5smJ2akUHICUvV3XckRD6H8IBDMGJWX1MorLpyBlRt0E/s320/CIMG0695.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"><em>Churros con Chocolate $8.50 mmm</em></p><p align="center"><em></em> </p><p align="left"><u><a href="http://www.spanishtapas.com.au/">Spanish Tapas</a></u></p><p align="left">26 Glebe Point Road,</p><p align="left">Glebe 2037</p><p align="left">Tel: 9571 9005</p>Thyme to Feasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17766639845115318378noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518101423944963143.post-70538448464976031342007-02-12T22:01:00.000+10:302007-02-12T21:36:00.556+10:30refreshing endAfter eating all the absolute crap i had on the weekend i felt fat, heavy and annoyed.

Kitty's Cafe<div align="left">There is this little cafe in Ingleburn that although blends into the whole Ingleburn scene caught my eye around 5 years ago and from then there was a little place in my stomach for it.

I think that Wii has to bring on better games for me to want to buy it...its ok but not great.</div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025000117919089282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSB_nyIJpdgGpvrmI1CqRlstCLBCpYu2qREvXkvKCZivoNezD35IQEov6cV0fm5pB2W6DmEhEt2Dhj70ywHQCo-UAeJtgJu8sIw-bTht_0lp1JwGGwI40jXlEGYuqOqQwIpp5gj9f_iW8/s320/CIMG0510.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025000581775557266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnx4u31yJUF-kUs14NrxjNFIsyIYUBsuHsZpn_TMWtU1Fp3URDI_xsNqvTSfaFhM99pVbyVc99D3BNZK2JTdHf6a3siqggOdY1CuNPZrcQNxXa-UnZVSC-C58uXxZqNlpx4CnhDBJsvOY/s320/CIMG0511.JPG" border="0" /></p></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025001492308624034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWA05xbabJmUlYiw6uG3saH-H5avtAzi_1qBehXEalqWYyB2bSPA-cqnen9I5SPn0iPKyht_5i7mSTidB6gmvgz_wnPpCdkvGZgbIhsy7KNvCdAJNh-LgFjONOT8m5bg7WF2OmW81arwk/s320/CIMG0515.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><p align="center"><em>Yes its sweet capsicum philly but my god, i love this stuff!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025002630474957490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXGwQaWH0p_8XdADTSJqvg3rJh63Zr87b8CJu4L2gOtV54yYHEVwohAUo3dYegMEYkprCPyite007JeCHyzkzv71Q_Y2RA_1jRcR9WvJpC5TAGOO6gzq_nzbcUh-Eju4DG95bjpEZYOc/s320/CIMG0521.JPG" border="0" /></em></p><br /><p align="center"><em>Wii Boxing!</em></p>Thyme to Feasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17766639845115318378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518101423944963143.post-68681744984128926942007-01-26T12:30:00.000+10:302007-01-26T12:48:17.895+10:30Lazy NightsAhh It didnt feel like a Thursday it felt like Friday only difference being that I had a pole class and yes bruises have successfully appeared Ouch!

I used to always walk passed this place and think it looked quite suss however we were really hungry a couple of weekes ago and decided to get something from there it ended up being cheap and surprisingly good.</div><br /><br /><div align="left">So being starving I placed an order for Salt and Spicy Tofu and Beef Chow mein (my order only, Eddie and Tony got other things). </div><br /><br /><div align="left">The noodles were abit soft i had expected them to be crispier. The tofu however we crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside and as well as that the salt and spicy coating was totally full of flavour!

In comes Tania, calling me as she is in town for interviews and wants lunch, its so welcome and I need cheering up. After a mix up of where we were meeting I run in heels to <a href="http://www.ichibanboshi.com.au/">Ichiban Boshi </a>for some ramen...comfort food.<br /><br />I arrive to my ramen and tea already ordered and sitting on the table...yessssss.<br /><br />I got the Shio Butter Corn Ramen while Tania got the Vegetable Ramen, so warm and filling I start forgetting all my worries and taking in the slippery noodles the plump corn and the butter...i love butter so much, i wish there was more of it! The one slice of pork could have easily been left out as I didnt enjoy that bit very much. Tania seemed to be enjoying her ramen greatly although there was an excess amount of bean sprouts so she was fishing to the bitter end to find every last string of noodle.<br /><br />It was good that we came here later at 2 pm as there were no lines and we didnt have to share a table...yesss!!!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023545362230302306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwUwOobZmgPbpb70nbCpaG_7aHcTaTc1KJR0V5-zSQ-DV09CTYHUsKE-W36pNfX8ozqPsp9x-4eb0UNiIHZd2Pg5sw-6W1pB_lLUHz7KD5KKye1NjGjUuzalhDgVgyxdtLURLJCc-2O0/s320/CIMG0473.JPG" border="0" /><br /><em>Shio Butter Corn Ramen</em><br /></div><p align="center"><em></em></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023546156799252082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb7tqwe4Jh-0OEp8SUTRT3JxIvoz2eRRELbBYXlWJBwpA59RfJ2sTzH38DNx8klUlAGuO7D4aqlAZhP2HwmEIIPoE6GH9yMUqw8eyPqC9foyvITpqDRLYy_imsNh8SNkY69jaQh31RArI/s320/CIMG0474.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><em>Tania's Vegetable Ramen - check out the bean sprouts<br /></em></p><p align="left"><u><a href="http://www.ichibanboshi.com.au/">Ichiban Boshi</a> (Galeries Victoria)<br /></u><br />The Galeries VictoriaLevel 2, 500 George St </p><p align="left">Sydney, 2000</p><p align="left">Phone (02) 9262 7677</p>Thyme to Feasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17766639845115318378noreply@blogger.com2
