This week I have been

Reading

Campaign Ruby, by Jessica Rudd, for our online book club Better Well Read Than Dead. She certainly loves name-dropping her labels.

Watching

The Plan, which reminded me that I haven't dropped enough hints to C recently about how much I want the BSG box set on Blu-Ray.

Listening to

The Pogues

Discovering

...to my great disappointment, that Jared Leto is in 30 Seconds To Mars. Why, Jared, why?

Eating

  • Mee pok at Coconut House
  • Matt Stone's fresh, Spring-y quinoa salad from this month's Australian Gourmet Traveller. (I decided that dinner was more than a "light meal", though, so added some fried haloumi for a meat-free Monday.)
  • Suckling pig rolls at Collins Quarter, which are on for another three or four weeks on Wednesdays (and at $5 a pop are a bargain). They will be followed by Spring lamb!
  • Baguette with pork rillettes from Le Traiteur - the crunchy, acid pickles go so perfectly with the rillettes
  • Eggplant with minced pork from KL Bunga Raya
  • Ipoh Hor Fun (again!) at Gurney Drive. Perfect on a wet and steamy September Saturday.  C had the Hainanese Chicken Rice and the rice was beautifully flavoured.
  • Some sticky ribs and fish-flavour pork from Fucshia Dunlop's Sichuan Cooking
  • Compost cookie batter, with Lanka mix, wasabi peas - thanks to Penny for that idea! - Twisties, Mars Bar, Clinkers and Oreos. Oh, and some Special K.  That'll teach me to try to be super-organised for morning tea. (Some did make it to the oven, I promise)

Top Design – Light it up

On the most recently aired episode of “Top Design” I was pleased to see the demise of my least-favourite contestant.  That’s not to say that all four left are brilliant designers, but they are a good mix of reality show contestants.  I say my heartfelt goodbyes to [spoiler alert!] Andrea over at Reality Ravings.

    What got me was the manky bunch of lillies Ricky Schroder sent his wife. It looked like something you would pick up from your local 7/11. If you are going to a grand romantic gesture that is going to be seen by a couple of million worldwide, it is a good thing to spend some cash.
    Anyway thank christ she is gone. Seriously the only people who have heard of Ricky are probably are in their thirties and remember when he graced the cover of Tiger Beat magazine.
    Eddie is so in the cult of Martha Stewart it is scary. He seriously needs to be deprogrammed.
    Her furniture is nice but bland, it does not make a statement.
    I must admit a swarkovski light is now on my wish list.
    If Preston wins this year’s title I will be pissed.
    Go Nathan. Is it me or does he look older than 30?

    OMG – Tiger Beat! Yay!
