I won’t go into the nitty-gritty of the rest of the day, but this early dinner at Zinc was earned by all concerned after an emotional ride of a weekend.
Seafood was the flavour of the day, with the (gluten-free) fish and chips at the top for me, seafood spaghetti for the guys, and a tapas plate for Rish’s mum off the specials list.
Early dinner then early sleep. Yes please!

My mushrooms, spinach, tomato and aoli on gluten free toast.
Avo on toast for Amanda.

The Bonsoy delivery has arrived, albeit late, to Darby street. The barristas breathe a sigh of relief as the Hipster riot is averted.

I love the coffee at Frankie’s place, on Darby street. Helps that it’s Campos, and that it’s served in the cutest surroundings.
So even though I’m a third of the way through #caffeinefreephona I suggested we go there between an open house and lunch yesterday.
(After, of course, sarcastically suggesting Gloria Jeans :p )
The brewed chai tea was served with two T2 teabags for extra strength, and came out on a part of the Sesame Street library. I’m told it was nice, but they used a little bit too much water in the water to milk ration in the teapot.
My chai latte, yummy on the Bonsoy (with a tiny teddy!)
While we weren’t eating, they were still serving breakfast, even though it was close to 1pm. Gotta love an all-day breakfast menu!
Just monkeying around…

So, I used o go to Goldberg’s on Darby Street Newcastle all the time. I have memories of playing Euchre with Rish and his parents there after a day at the beach during high school. With a mini Pochacco deck of cards.
I was so happy with the breakfasts we got there over the weekend. A HUGE fruit salad for me, pancakes for Rish, and bacon and eggs for our visiting friend.
We’re spoilt for choice in the hipster Mecca of Newcastle :)
