treats

It is birthday weekend here in our house.


Sock Victim is another year older and I had so much fun organising birthday treats.


Friday night the cats gave him a bottle of Plum Brandy (about 100 proof and 50%)  - they did this as they like to see the monkeys make fools of themselves and well we did...


Yesterday I took S.V. on a culinary adventure - onto the train and then a short walk up to Mille Vini in Surry Hills for Peach bellinis and a small snack. Then another walk across to Paddington for dinner at Bon Riccardo - yum yum. We had a customised degustazione menu, which included the signature dish of truffled egg pasta. As each dish came out it surpased the previous one. Wow what a meal.




A correto for me and a grappa for him we poured into a cab home for the final piece in the birthday puzzle.






A digital radio, which was then the source of hours of fun setting up and which I am now listening to. It is amazing!!!! We were listening to PBS in melbourne and podcasts and now just classic FM - the sound is great.


Now for a bike ride to Bourke st Bakery for breakfast, roast pork and if I can manage it a Black Forest cake.

Mm, plum brandy sounds both yummy and dangerous!

Belated happy birthday to the oh-so-generous and oh-so-clever sock victim. What wonderful birthday treats...and I'm oh-so-envious of the digital radio.
