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.
mm crispy.

The housemate had a box of Woolies gluten free pizza base mix she’s been bugging to use, so we put it to use over the weekend.
It needed to be rolled thinner, but otherwise worked well :)

Feeling very welcomed by my flatmate. We went with some of her friends to the Oatley Pub for dinner. After digging into some hot chips, I went a much needed salad for dinner, while the others raves about the pizzas.

So, my dear, you all want to hear the story behind why I arrived home on Thursday to Flowers from Crust Pizza?
As happens in the blogging world, arrangements are made at times for bloggers to try things, in the hope that they’ll like them and blog about how awesome they are.
This was the challenge for Crust, when their PR company accepted my challenge that a pizza could still be awesome when on a gluten free base, and without the mozzarella… (I, of course, then select a vegetarian pizza on top of that – but have feta, because it rocks and I’ve decided that I’m eating it regardless)
But why is the pizza reheated? And so crispy?
Well… the problem with getting PR to order, via the main office, then getting it delivered by the local franchise… is well, sometimes payments are miscommunicated, and Fiona and the pizza boy spend 20 minutes on the porch trying to sort it out, while Fiona almost cries in her panicky anxious everything always goes wrong way.
But it sorts out. PR company works their charms.
And the pizza was nice. Liked the pumpkin sauce. And the toppings. Will steal that idea for my home made pizzas!
Not sold on the base yet – probably because it was singed black by the time we ate it? Maybe next time my pizza will be hot from the box.
2 days later, I get home… to flowers on the doorstep!
Who are they from? Usually it’s my parents or Rish’s parents (or various lovers, of course)…
aww. They made me smile.
(shame I’m currently without a vase, and they’re living in a cereal server Decor box! oh well!)

It feels like such a Sunday evening (except, it’s not! and there’s TWO more days in the weekend!), sitting on the couches, reading, listening (well, rocking out to :p) Triple J Hottest 100, Volume 4 (disc one and two… Who else has fond memories of Underground and Pepper??) and making Pizza!
In Brisbane last Saturday night, we had an awesome pizza from Picasso’s on Edward, just down from our hotel.
The Cezanne – lamb marinated in lemon, garlic and oregano with beetroot, olives, crushed chick peas, spinach, pine nuts
Delicious, especially paired with a bottle of wine (Taylor’s Unwooded Chardonnay – I much prefer un-oaked… ) and Tropic Thunder… :D
Their menu is really detailed on the ingredients, too, perfect for recreating and making more pizzas and pastas at home! :p
Our recreation based on their detailed menu!With MUCH less cheese ;)

Woke up to the news that the kettle was dead…. so went down to the local shops, but no luck in woolies, The Reject Shop, Aldi or Homeart. There were some in Target, but they started at $60. Uh, no thanks!
Headed into the Canberra Centre around lunch time, and success at Big W – Kettle for $8, radiant heater (which Rish is pretty much sitting on now!) for $18. Score! And a vanilla air freshener for the car for $2.
Made a mess of the rice paper rolls I got from Sushi World for lunch. I don’t think they were packed tight enough. Their fault, right not mine? :p
