We pottered in the garden, weeding my flower beds, Rob installed a new overflow pipe (the outflow from our tank currently ended in the middle of my rose bed which is not ideal), he has redirected it to the veggie garden where we hope to put a water butt (a barrel). My anemones have started to flower, blue, pink and white and the occasional rogue red one!
Yesterday we headed into town and had yum cha at Me Wah with Rob's daughter for Father's day. We love it, trying steamed dumplings (pork, prawn, vegetarian and trevalla) the obligatory roast duck and pork ribs. It was certainly buzzing yesterday, with families of all different combinations shared lunch.
I must admit we came back home to the hut and had a nap to sleep off all that food!
Menu wise this week -
Monday: Stir fry rice.
Tuesday: We headed out with my work colleagues to Ethos. To eat a series of tapas style dishes. My favourites were the fried chickpeas and a chorizo sausage cooked in red wine with potatoes. It's a lovely space, and the food was ok. But now that I've been I probably won't be in a rush to revisit.
Wednesday: We stopped by Bottega Rotolo for some lunch (beautiful minestrone for me) and had an asparagus, speck and parmesan frittata for dinner.
Thursday: Scallops with bacon on rice.
Friday: Penne pasta with pecorino, peas and speck. This was delicious!
Saturday: Beef shin stew with mash potato.
Sunday: After our big yum cha feast we had some leftover beef shin stew with pasta.

I've not been to Me Wah, but would like to one day. I have been to Ethos, once, with a bunch of girlfriends. We sat outside with drinks and a small cheese platter. It was nice, but terribly expensive I think. Have you been to Raincheck? I went there recently and had a simple salad, haloumi and mini carrots with dukka? and goats' curd. It was all sooo yummy. And the bread, yum!
A huge yum cha feast would almost be my pick for my death row meal. I just love it. I feel a visit to our local yum cha place coming soon.....
