Moo Gourmet Burgers, Manly
Bubbly on arrival? I’m your girl!

Twas a miserable Sydney evening. Rain, scary on the roads, rocky on the Ferry, but somehow the five of us made it to Moo at Manly to try some of their awesome burgers.

Somehow I made it there about 6:45pm, for a 6pm start! I JUST missed the ferry that would have gotten me to Manly at six. It wasn’t to be.

To start was chips, and the Wagyu burger. Mine on the gluten free bun. (17 of their 20 burgers can be done gluten free!!) Us girls trying to figure out how much to eat to have room for the rest! The onions were sweet, the patties devine!!!!

The others had some Moo Pale Ales ($8.50) with their burgers. I stuck with the bubbles ;)

Then arrived a selection of milkshake samples. I drank this one, the Cow in Mud – because it was Baylies and Frangelico and other awesome cocktail ingredients ;) Yes, I paid for it later!!!

Then came the roo burger, which an American friend had tried and recommended the other weekend. It was nice, but I concentrated on the yummy beetroot relish and the pattie as I was sooooo full at this point!

A dessert of ‘Mookies’ was brought out… with gooey dark and white chocolate, baked on the day. The other girls shared one and we all took some home. I met a friend for drinks on the way home and he was happy with my cookie offerings!

Newtown

A lovely pre summer night, walking up and down King Street, people (and dog) watching, dinner and cocktails. Rambling. Thinking about the future. Making plans. To take on the world.

El Bahsa Newtown

Dinner was at El Bahsa, a lovely little BYO Lebanese restaurant. Some yummy vine leaves to start with the bottle of Pike’s Riesling picked up from the bottle shop.So warm and tasty.

A couple of delicious cocktails, a minty citrus one, a coffee cocktail. Helped bring on the conversation, the dreams, the goals. A lovely evening.

What’s your favourite cocktail to kick the night off?

Cocktails at Corridor Newtown

Just back from drinks at Corridor Bar in Newtown. My first foray into that area. Lovely out the back, nice warm night under the heaters. And a yummy cocktail in a cute crystal glass.

Xmas Cocktail Party

December 13, 2009 · 0 comments

Hosted a cocktail at our place last night. The idea behind it was to use up some of the spirits we’ve been acquiring… but after cleaning up this morning we have more than we started with, plus (yay!) heaps of fresh fruit for me to eat this week, plus foods like cakes that will be palmed off onto workmates this week :p

Xmas Cocktail Party
The spirits we provided (many other things arrived with our guests)

Plastic cocktail glasses. Awesome invention.

Xmas Cocktail Party
Cupcakes. Made using this recipe and covered in icing and balls. very very rich and sweet.

Xmas Cocktail Party
I only really got into the drinks late in the night, when Kat was in full flight making them, half the people had left and I relaxed a little.

Sleep? What Sleep?

June 29, 2008

Had a lovely weekend *grins* I finally watched Fight Club on Friday night. Excellent movie (not partial to the beating in of heads, but you know, have to deal with it to get the rest of it). Can say that I’ve seen it :) And could return the DVD to a friend we’d borrowed it [...]
