do you like kabana?

I’m meeting up with some of my favourite girls tonight for wine and decided I would bring the snacks. In no way does this very Australian dish have anything to do with that rubbishy cricket nonsense being on TV.

This is me in my new Shakuhachi top and you can just see my pretty pink apron. I always wear it in the kitchen. It was gifted to me after a two week stint of looking after a very angry and demanding rabbit named Igby Binks. And yes, that is Kabana.

Behold our nibblies, you just know that we’ll be tucking into this with some Jatz. I’m a bit confused about the difference between pickles, gherkins, cornichons etc. and I hope they all taste the same because I chose to use gherkins. When I first moved to Melbourne my friend Frances and I liked to order this plate from Sister Bellas on a Friday night.

It is nice to be back in Melbourne (although I would much rather to be lazing on Had Yao with a good book and some SPF 2+). This is one of my favourite buildings and it’s also in that certain area of Chapel St I talked about here.

It’s also nice to be back with the kittens. I've shown them some pictures of Thai kittens and told them that if their behaviour doesn't improve they'll be shipped off.

And back to my 1^st world problems like how to get my filthy paws on this perfect Alice McCall blouse.
