What we did at the weekend
We didn't manage to go out at all after our Kylie Kwong extravaganza on Monday - it completely wiped us out. I've booked us in for another one of these food/drink/celebrity chef inclusive dinners next Monday ("Burn the House Down" at Astral in StarCity) so I should imagine the same thing will happen next week.
On Friday we opted for a takeaway curry. We decided against Viva Goa as although it is very good, it is not quite the same if you just want a standard curry. So instead we tried our other local curry house, Vrindavan. The reviews had all said that the food was good and the restaurant decor poor so it seemed the perfect place to order from. The food was really good - we had three different types of bread and they were all very tasty (and all deep fried I think; the two may be connected).
We didn't manage very much on Saturday during the day, but we went to a new Sydney suburb called Leichhardt for dinner with some of Sean's colleagues (and ex-colleagues) in the evening. Leichhardt is the Italian part of town and we had some nice Italian food - I had some really good mussels as a starter.
On Sunday morning we walked up to the Rocks and had a cup of tea opposite the Opera House and in the afternoon we went to Frenchs Forest (another suburb!) and played backgammon. In a seemingly novel experience for me, I came out up (+17) and Sean came out down (-21) so I was pretty pleased with myself.
Finally, I have run out of enthusiasm for updating the smoothie blog. If I wanted to do it properly I think I would have to
a) Spend a lot of time making / drinking smoothies when I didn't want to. (At the moment I seem to prefer fruit salad.)
b) Make the blog look nice, which is too much like hard work.
c) Learn how to take photographs. I am getting better, but I think I need to find out how to focus my camera.
I'll still post to it occasionally as I also wanted to use it as a kind of personal smoothie recipe book but I am going to try and divert my energies to taking pictures of food when we go out. (Until I get bored with that too.)
