Midweek dinner date

13/02/2008. I met Jac after work and we drove to the International Eating House food hall at East Victoria Park for a midweek dinner date.

Gotta love a toastie

This was the breakfast Jac made for me last Sunday morning – a ham and tomato toasted sandwich on multi-grain bread. I had requested my toastie with no cheese.
