Micro Posts

After a long day's work, with another impending overbearingly huge workload tomorrow, this blog is looking extremely sad with lack of updates. Thus, all my backlogs shall stay as backlogs until there is actual time to sit and write a proper long entry, and that includes cafe series.

Micro entries are the way to go really.

Introducing the guest of my entry for today: the Maggie Beer ice cream line. Was first introduced to this line of ice cream by JL, whom I absolutely trust in terms of taste buds.

Memento mori

I won't say that I'll keep blogging constantly because it's impossible. Lack of updates was inevitable because (emo mode on) life didn't feel happy enough to blog about food and cafes.

It's been more than two weeks since someone close to me passed away. It's the first time I experienced death so near to me. The last time I faced it was when my black cat died back years ago, where I was right there when it happened, felt him go cold and into rigor mortis, it was terrifying.

HS catch up

Ok this will be quick. I'm absolutely dead tired and still have to get up early for work tomorrow =( I was so alert, driving for about 2 hours there and 2 hours back from Canberra (yes, went to visit the Floriade, in rain, which... was actually not a bad thing because when it rains, you see water droplets on flowers which are quite attractive). 

Observing long driving trips like this, you start to gather what the road rules are. There are the safe drivers, usually sticking to the left lane because they are usually driving at around 100km in the 110 highway. There are the slow ones who disrupt the flow of 100km cars, forcing them to overtake on the right lane, and move back into the left after overtaking (also known as the nice cars, following the "keep left unless overtaking" signs). Then there are the impatient ones, who stays on the right lane because they are usually at about 120km and do not bother shifting back to the left lane after overtaking- they'll only have to switch right again to overtake another car. 

 Which am I? I try to stick to 110 and overtake when necessary and move back left when I can... but turns out, I'm mainly a right lane hogger.

That's the end of the story for today. This was at Portofino, an Italian restaurant at Leichhardt (gosh, I doubt myself each time I spell that suburb... keep thinking that I'm doing it wrong). Their bruschetta pizza crust was pretty good~

Alternate healing? Not these ones...

Was given some weird health advice today by a random customer. It's one of those alternate medicine advice given by someone who claimed that hospitals are ripping everyone off by issuing medicines and chemo-therapies and surgeries that cost thousands of dollars and keeping everyone in the dark of these "natural" remedies. 

 I went home, googled his "advices" and I won't try any of them, so they are not worth repeating on this blog, nor will I promote it (the guy said "let everyone of your friends know, the current generation is missing out on these valuable cures"). Keywords for those who are curious though: black salve (nasty nasty images when I googled this, so be warned), kerosene (I know, people drink this stuff??) and borax (cleaning agent!! Hello!!) 

 Anyway, that's the end of the story for today, here's food:

I sincerely hope you didn't find any nasty pictures if you did decide to google, and anyway, I can think of many many many more appetizing things that I want to ingest than kerosene and cleaning agents.

Do judge this book by its cover

Photo blog today! Because really, this is just to toot my own horn... though it wasn't entirely successful =( But for now, let's show some normal Japanese food from Ichiban Boshi:

I love beef tataki for its yuzu sauce.
