Also known as: Death by Curry. Last Sunday (21/10), my family held a “full moon” celebration for the newest member of the family, my brother and his wife Ange’s first child, my first ever niece Ruby. The full moon celebration is usually held when a baby is around a month old – in this case, […]
The Leaf Tea Merchants has closed down. Today, we belatedly celebrated my sister Juji’s 21st birthday with morning tea at the Leaf Tea Merchants in Mount Lawley. We all had the Parisian Rose Morning Tea (AU$25 per person). This post is subtitled: Ohhhhhh, the sugar… The Morning Tea came with Parisian Rose tea as standard, […]
We had gozleme for lunch on Friday at work – I had what’s become pretty much my standard order: lamb, spinach, sundried tomato and mushroom (AU$10.50). I think next time I might go vegetarian (shock, horror!) and try a potato goz. At around 3:30 we had afternoon tea to farewell A, who’d been working with […]
We’ve had a uni student doing an internship with us for the past four weeks or so, and Thursday was her last day. We got her a box of handmade choccies from Taffy’s and presented her with a certificate of appreciation, thanking her for all her efforts during four challenging weeks. That morning, as I […]
We all enjoyed the savoury dishes but I think we were all even more impressed with the wide selection of desserts on offer. I took most of these photos as soon as we arrived, before most of the other diners began moving in on the buffet. Individual pavlovas, topped with real cream, kiwi fruit and […]
Monday: my workmate Foodjunkie had her last day of work with us on Wednesday this week – she’s moving over East – we will really miss her. On Monday, she brought in this beautiful Dolly Varden cake made by her Aunty Janet. I promised Foodjunkie I would mention that she reckons her Aunty Jan is […]
A couple of little mishaps occurred on Tuesday. First, I stacked it on the escalator at the train station. I have no idea what happened. I was just walking up the escalator – I quite often walk up the escalator as a form of minimal sweat, low effort exercise – and then suddenly something tripped […]
On Tuesday we celebrated another workmate’s birthday with goodies she got from Michel’s Patisserie. There were fruit and custard tarts, chocolate topped profiteroles and some hefty looking cannoli. There was also an iced orange cake. The cake was lovely and soft – fluffy, in fact. I love orange cake, but I must admit I found [&hel…
On Friday, we had morning tea to farewell one of our workmates. She brought in a selection of exquisite and decadent little cakes for everyone, from the Sugar and Spice Patisserie in Joondalup. Sorry, I don’t know what everything is – the tall fruit-topped ones are cheese cakes, the little yellow one with white peaks […]
Believe me when I say that my job, workplace and workmates are fantastic – but this week was a horrendously shitty week. My lunches were great though – time to walk in the sunshine, eat and take a temporary breather – all very important things. Monday: two papercuts by 10am and the first of many […]
