Weekend

I just read the last entry about Die Hard and the ramen - the movie was fantastic - non stop action and I really liked it - it's just good fun and no need to analyse or make too much of stuff. It's very entertaining.

The Ramen was good too - we went to the one that was more authentic looking, so we ate at the counter. the noodles were very good, but the soup wasn't as good - it was fine, but nothing like the real thing! Still though it was very enjoyable and not expensive at all.

This weekend was fairly quiet - on Saturday we took it easy and then sorted some stuff out and went to the pub in the afternoon - we took a walk to Surry Hills and went to the Porterhouse, which is semi English/Irish traditional pub. We stayed there for a while and had lots of beer! I was so full by the time we got out - it was fun though - we went with Lauren and we chatted about this that and the other.

Yesterday, we had Caroline and Barbara over and we all made pizza. It was yummy! One was simple with ham and mushroom and the other one was avocado and prawn - works very well - I recommend it! We made the base from scratch and Caroline did a great job on the dough and rolling it out - her first ever!

Well, apart from that, we spent a fortune in a deli, where we spent about an hour eating different cheeses - so smelly! - but we learned a lot and it was good fun. We ended up buying loads and some very nice aoli - yum yum! Had some on my sandwich today at work...

Last week at work now - then I'll be free to play in Sydney before we leave on he 12th to Hawaii and then to Dallas to see Terri and Amy and then to Vancouver and then NY and then home - AAAAARRRRRGGHGHHH!!! - Home already??????
