Mushrooms for Dinner!

There are simple things to make for dinner and then there is this...

I added chilli as well for a bit of zing! Delicious!

Friday Treat

Friday lunchtime.. I'm feeling like something sweet.
I venture into Jean Pierre Sancho, the patisserie across the road from work. I never really go there because i want something quick on my lunch break and there is always a line out the door.



I got a ham and Brie baguette and two teeny little pink macaroons! Best macaroons in Perth. All the desserts there look divine!!

My Place

Out for dinner with Renae :)
We went to My Place a bar on Pier St






Teapot cocktailsz











Chilli mussels :)

My new T2 Plunger

Recently I ventured into the new T2 Shop in the Hay street mall. I love all the beautiful teapots and tea cups.. The draws of loose tea stacked up to the ceiling.. All the teas being brewed and tasted..! I had to put my blinkers on otherwise I would have bought the whole shop!

I was on the hunt for a Coffee Plunger or "French Press" as I had broken Kazs and needed to replace it. I had barely touched a tiptoe inside the shop when a girl asked me "How my day was?" and "was I looking for anything?" I replied that I needed a Coffee Plunger. The girls eyes widened and she said "This is T2 we onky do T... We have some T Plungers over here" she motioned to the coffee T plungers.
I mentioned it looked exactly like the coffee plunger I had broken at home and she replied that "you could probably use it for coffee..."

After using it and making glorious coffee all week, I decided to use it for T..





I used the gorgeous Strawberries and Cream T2 tea









The tea that was produced was very aromatic and perfectly brewed. I quite liked the whole process, I usually find loose leaf teas quite messy and this was an easy way to enjoy my tea :)

Sunday Breakfast

I made this for breakfast today..




Yummy

Housemate Date at 5 Bar

Tonight Kaz (my faithful ally) and i ventured out into a strangely chilly and wet Summer evening.. We had heard good things about the 5 Bar in Mount Lawley. After a few wrong turns we finally made our way in.

They have a large selection of beers on tap and a great tapas menu. The vibe is inviting classy and trendy and its filled to the brim with hipsters. Although the vibe was nearly killed by the fact that we had to sit on and eat off wooden crates. The ratio of tables and chairs to diners is a little out of balance but we made do.
















Wooden crate seats..

We started with a jug of delicious cider, it was quite an involved drink and I can't remember everything that went in.
















Cider jug being made















Our Cider! The teeny bottle has honey sweetener as the drink can be a little dry.















Our glasses with pink grapefruit garnish!






























Apple and Balsamic marinated olives with chili and rosemary. Sautéed chorizo with lemon















The octopus salad.. We were both unsure about the texture and taste. We didn't eat too much of this.















Hand cut chips with Romesco Sauce.















I enjoyed this bar and I will probably go back at a quieter time so I could chill on the couch with my cider.
