Smitten Kitchen.

I’ve been spending way too much time checking my tongue in the mirror, bending over backwa… huh? what, who doesn’t like some jasonmraz? (: blog surfing. Sigh, mainly because I’ve been having terrible sleepless nights lately. Sometimes, a cuppa warm milk does the trick. Other times, I blogsurf. Haha, yesterday after a quick blog reads exchange with mr (J)WLW, I thought I’d might as well share my favourite food+photography site with you guys: Smitten Kitchen! Goooorgeous photographs of ingredients and dishes and secrets to making the perfect (insert any dish). Like pancakes! Mmmmmmmm.

mmmmm blueberry pancakes

ps. I still can’t decide if I prefer banana pancakes or blueberry pancakes. Blueberries with ice cream i think. YUM, the best I’ve had was at Edelweiss on Elizabeth. Mmmm melt-in-mouth goodness with buttermilk (:

Buuuuurgers.

Aww shucks, I’ve been craving a huge juicy burger since watching HIMYM S4E2 this afternoon.

buuuuuuuurger

Haha, I wonder where Melbourne’s best burger is hidden. My vote goes to Andrew’s Burgers till proven otherwise.

I hear the St Kilda BBNT’s “The Stack” ($7.50) is one of the best late-night burgers you can get. Midnight drive, anyone?

So after confessing my sin – gluttony – to G yesterday, I went to Mr. Tulk to have their baked eggs with chorizo and spinach for the very last time (this month). I promise! Haha, I’ve been back there three times this month after taking the girls there for brunch a coupla Saturdays ago. Oh their soups and poached and baked eggs are so scruuumpdelitious! Skinny capp was slightly disappointing though. The scruffy waiters are ok on the eyes too.

It feels like I’ve missed autumn altogether and slipped right into winter this year. Missy Higgins has come back onto the playlist. Hahaha, I remember wanting to be her/a beautiful singing brunette like her when I first heard her voice in Year 11. I think she’s quite a brilliant songwriter. Her lyrics don’t hold as much despair and lamentations about lost love & ‘the one that got away’s like other songwriters’.

So groooow tall, shuuuugarcane
Eat that soil drink that rain
But know they’ll chase you if you play their little game…
So run, run fast, shuuuuugarcane (:

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
Out of our nightminds, and into the light
At the end of the fight…

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it’s all magnified.
The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
It’s easier to let go.

This month’s cravings.

Fresh corn fritters > take away corn fritters, but take away > nothing at all. Thanks to the lovely sister and her very nice boy man special friend (what are they called nowadays? i think i’ll just stick to what the grandparents use – “friend”).

6 weeks till all the snowboarding fun in the world. Oh yeah.

i thought it was monday today

 

Why do all ‘Damien’s have such enchanting voices? And why are they all Irish (so cute-sexy! heh)? Or is it all Irish boys who can sing are called ‘Damien’?

 

Yay, there’s a new sushi cafe just ’round the corner from my apartment! very happy, although the plum sauce + rice paper wraps (which I thought are vietnamese!) are 7/8ths rice noodles, 1/16ths meat and 1/16ths sesame seeds.

 

Thementor/myboss says “thebestthingsinlife are… delivered!” hahahaha, and I agree (GRIN)!

 

Ok, silly mid-afternoon post. Gotta run back to uni. I somehow get quite nervous when people say they have ’something’ to tell me. Just tell me quuuick!
