Oh my goodness, we ate some lovely meals while we were in Melbourne. Above is Steak & Guiness pie with creamy mash.~
We attended a vehicle launch on Tuesday night at the Convention Centre. Pressed terrine of chicken, ham hock and pistachio nuts with sweet and sour capsicums.~
Twice cooked high country pork belly with morcilla sausage, spiced spinach and green ginger wine sauce, walnuts and crackling.~
Espresso panna cotta with hazelnut and chocolate donuts.~
Sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce and organic Victorian cream~
Lunch the next day - for him, Oysters natural with redwine vinegar and red onion - me, not a fan!~
I had this divine dish - hand made ricotta gnocchi with fricasee of Moreton Bay bugs (a crustacean similar to lobster-ish)~
For him, John Dory fillet atop a puree of (?) and coriander salad.~
And finally, be still my heart! Vanilla bean creme brulee with cinnamon churros!~
Creamy and crunchy toffee-ness at the same time!~
Hence, when we arrived home we decided it is high time to do something about out expanding waist-lines! A 6am walk this morning, wholemeal turkey & salad sandwiches for lunch, yoghurt and a banana. Roast for dinner tonight.

Yum, yum and yum, off to the pantry to get the chocolate out now.
ReplyDeleteYum...all those dishes look and sound tasty, except for the Oysters. Something I can't bring myself to eat. I think Mr Bean's episode with the oysters put me off!!
ReplyDeleteI read your post last night, and had to stop looking at that food. That just looks so good. It makes me want to eat. Drool.

I agree with the post about oysters. I've never eaten a raw oyster. I always worry they are going to crawl right back out.Imagine waking up in the morning with a little collection of oysters on your pillow looking at you.The rest of the dishes look divine.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!!! Some particularly delicious looking desserts....
ReplyDeleteOh yum! My mouth is watering just looking at the photos :0)
