Ahh, Nara and Uncle Raja’s. Worked threre through uni, living off naan, butter chicken sauce and pad thai. Oh and bottles of diet coke.

The two are combined now, so you can get a selection of Indian and Thai dishes in the one kitchen.


So, pad thai, chicken madrass and lamb korma. A Malaysia style Laksa.


And suggestive looking deep fried ice cream for dessert!

Decided that, as I had enforced leave between Xmas and NYE anyway, I might as well head down to Canberra, a place I had never been during that period of time when I HAD lived there. Always part of the exodus.


Booked myself a lovely room at the Mantra on Northbourne. Top floor, nice view. King bed. HOT shower :)

And walking distance from Civic. Which meant I could easily catch up with friends for dinner or drinks :)

First stop was coffee with the darling Hannah to catch up on life.

Dinner one night I caught up with Mike at Wagamama. Noodles! Sake!

Even went and watched a movie. Must have been on holidays!

Spent my middle day sitting in Glebe Park. Breathing. Relaxing. Chilling. Napping ;)
(I got sunburnt. In the shade! Bloody hell!)

Stalked down Pia (ooh Wikipedia page) for a quick catch up at Gus’s.

Of course, a few glasses of Canberra region wine were consumed ;)

I do love a catch up over a nice meal and wines with friends when I head back to Newcastle. This one was at Aquazul in the Honeysuckle precinct.

(Yes this was so long ago I have no idea what we ate!)

Why are all my dinners at Darling Harbour ‘quick’ ones?

Oh well, The roo pizza at top I’m told was delish, and my seafood gluten free pasta went down well, as did this different take on chicken parmi.

Today I spent in training in Ryde – talking about Cerebral Palsy, disability and person centred practice. Got a nice sunny lunchtime walk in too! :)
Now I’m just sitting down to a dinner of food court leftovers bought cheaply at the end of the day from the Hurstville foodcourt. Yum.

A litre of chicken-style vege stock, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, 5 cloves, a shake of thyme, a teaspoon or so of garlic.

And veges and meat, of course!

Measured out with the help of a friend!

Ready to set!
I didn’t end up putting the pumpkin in… the other veges I scooped out and put in the oven for about 40 minutes before serving.
I leftover stock I threw some lentils and rice in and let them soak it up… for a salty buy yum rice/lentil lunch dish. :P
