Rhubarb – Back from the dead
Hurrah for Spring! Now to get planting on my other veges.
Breakfast at The Kitchen, Darby Street, Newcastle
Liam, eating my Semolina Porridge. He liked it more than me.
Caught up with my sister and nephew, and my parents at The Kitchen cafe on Darby Street Cooks Hill when we were up. After Jennie lugging the stroller upstairs (my dad had told them that we needed a place for the stroller when he booked, but they didn’t note it down, otherwise a downstairs table would have been organised and appreciated), we got to choosing our foods.
The Semolina Porridge that Liam and I ended up sharing. Wasn’t a good choice on my behalf, was hoping for more fruit. But Liam scoffed down more than me, so it wasn’t wasted!

Sprocket Roasters (Cafe), Hunter Street, Newcastle
I’ve walked past Sprocket Roasters on Hunter St Newcastle before, but haven’t headed in to try their home-roated coffee before… but it was a such as gorgeous day on Saturday that my parents and I said “Why not? Let’s have another coffee before the train comes!” (while the trains still run, hey?
We sat outside on the corner of Watt and Hunter Sts
The Last Gasps of the Hunter Street Mall (Newcastle)
Let’s look at that sign for nostalgia or something?
So, Newcastle, are you happy being a ‘safe’ Labor seat still?

Muesli4Me – Now in Gluten Free
A week or so ago I received a sample of the new Gluten Free base from Muesli4Me mixed with a couple of my new awesome in my breakfast fruits – cranberries and figs, as I’d asked them if they were going to put out a GF base given the amount of people that have to have gluten free… such a market for them.
The Gluten Free base contains puffed millet, puffed rice, rice bran, sunflower seeds and roast buckwheat “for a delicious nutty flavor”. I should have had it with yoghurt (which I didn’t… ) which would have prevented the eeep it’s going to go soggy! issue. It tasted nice, just had to adjust the liquids accordingly with the puffs.
I also got to try their Go Crunchy base, which they list as “sweet and crunchy made from oats, almonds, pepitas, coconut, milk, sugar and vegetable oil” which it certainly tasted like! It’s a complete cereal in itself, though I’m sure the addition of your fave dried fruit would give you an added bonus… It would probably a sometimes breakfast food for me… delicious, but the sweetness induced guilt ;)

Late, relaxed lunch on Sunday staying with Rish’s family.
