This week I have been

Reading

Australian Gourmet Traveller and wondering how Cutler & Co could be named "Restaurant of the Year" by a national food publication, but not have made the nominations list for The Age Good Food Guide, unless I'm missing something here.

Watching

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which I didn't hate as much as I expected to. Faint praise, sure, but it's a film with Michael Cera, so... yeah.

Listening to

My Emmylou Harris playlist, on shuffle.

Discovering

A wealth of delicious pedantry at Mental Floss.

Eating

  • Curry Laska at Gurney Drive. It is spicy and rich, avoiding the traps of being too sweet, and having too much chicken. I did, however, miss having fishcake.
  • more recipes from Ottolenghi.
  • Calamari "canneloni" with prawns at Esposito
  • braised pork cheek from Mezzo, wagyu burger from The Palace, wallaby tataki from Charcoal Lane, pork and prawn roll from Longrain. No, I haven't won lotto - I went to Taste of Melbourne.
  • treats from La Parisienne Pates: duck terrine and Soignon Selection
  • a number of delicious dishes at Izakaya Den. The eggplant with konnyaku was one of my favourites and I enjoyed the lamb (Iron Chef would be bemused) with miso and the duck breast with pomegranate (actually, the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the greens and tofu in dashi dish) but the whole deal just made me wish I was at a real izakaya, so we are planning our next Japanese trek.

Simply Baking – simply vanished!

I am disconsolate.

It appears that Simply Baking has ended.  I have been so looking forward to settling down for my dose of the Nutter magic.  So much so that I couldn’t quite believe it when I went through my recordings and couldn’t see it.  Naturally, I blamed its disappearance on the other occupant of the house with opposable thumbs, which was not as satisfying as usual given that he’s away.

Eventually I accepted that I’d have to survive a Nutterless week, and scrolled through the program guide to reschedule the recording. The slot that had held Simply Baking is now home to Coastal Kitchen and I will never see the Sandman flame shirt again.

Sob.
