I've already blogged about the delicious lasagna at the vegie bar, but we ate at a few other places over the weekend!After the storm on Saturday, we didn't want to venture too far from home so we popped on over to the EBC. Trashy and familiar, I elected to eat the classic vegan parma at the EBC. Danni went for the shepherd's pie (TVP and potatoes and vegan cheese, I think) from the specials board. This was really tasty! We shared a cherry ripe cheesecake. Who could go past such a delight?I know several people have had some terrible service ...

New to the store are these porcelain vessels by Amy Simmons. I like the way the decoration continues on the inside of the bowls and cups, there are even circles on the inside of the lidded jar.

The next Moreland BUG ride is scheduled for the 13th and 14th of March and we will ride the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail! The distance is 38 km each way. The rail is mainly flat and there are lot’s of stops along the way (a gentle rise over Mt Evelyn – trains don’t climb so well eh). We plan to stay overnight in Warburton and ride back to Lilydale on the next day. They have a lovely campsite in Warburton, right next to the Yarra River. Cabins are also available and there are a few Bed & Breakfasts in Warburton. We ...
After doing an overnight shift I wheeled my bike out into the oppressive morning air. It was cool, but the humidity was high, leaving a wet sheen on any car parked out in the open. I stripped back down to my tshirt and pedalled off into the morning. By the time I'd ridden the 20 minutes home I was sweating like the proverbial!I jumped into the shower, then bed, and was asleep just after 9.30am. I woke up around 2pm to hear thunder rolling about in the distance. I peeked out from under my eye mask (imperative for those who ...
I thought that I was going to the opening of a tattoo parlor with a few paintings on the wall. The sinks for the tattoo parlor part have yet to be installed so the only ink was on a few drawings – it was just a gallery opening. 696 Ink is a new gallery in the same location on Sydney Road as 696. To the casual observer it may not even look like a new gallery. Some of the same artists are on the wall. The front gallery is still hung salon style although the larger paintings make it look less ...

132 Lygon St, Brunswick East; 03 9380 5339With the launch of Cheap Eats 2010 last week, Bar Idda in Brunswick East found itself in the limelight, picking up the Cheap Eats Champ award. The plaudits reminded me of our early-summer meal there, which I hadn't got to writing up.Bar Idda opened unobtrusively into the space formerly occupied by Rumi (who moved down the street a bit to bigger premises)
More madness from Debbie Harman - spoons and bowls.
I cooked something new!! So wait for the recipe which will be up this week. I'm slowly getting back into my groove, having all new furniture has really rejuevenated me. Last week was INSANELY busy so I am forcing myself to stay in as much as possible this week/long weekend. I have a few art projects I've been working on at home so I'm going to finish them this weekend. Also as you've no doubt gleaned I've been super depressed over the past couple of months so this week is the festival of Carla!! I'm going to get a body ...
Kay Goldfinch has supplied us with porcelain sculptures representing various natural items, above is one of her sea corals. The colouration is wonderful, looking much better in real life than in the image above.
Dear Buggies, This years Sydney Road Street Festival will be held on January 28th. The Moreland BUG organized a stall, bike parking and bike mechanical service (a big thank you to Huw and his team at Commuter Cycles!).

If you want to give a hand (as little as one hour is enough) please email me and let me know your preferred time you would like to help and also if you would like to help ...
These great lidded jars are by Kaye Poulton. The dogs used as handles look like they're guarding the contents.
Our first visit to Court Jester was such a success that when Gem from the excellent Soupurban suggested a Brunswick brunch, there was only one place we wanted to visit. Things were a little busier than our first trip, suggesting that word is gradually spreading, but we still snared a four-person section of the big communal table without any trouble.The menu isn't massive, so Cindy went straight back to the blintzes which had so wowed her last time. Alas, by 10:30 or so there wasn't a blintz left in the place. The waiter was quick to suggest ...
I like to believe that J and I are like any other married couple out there. We can get under each other's skin very easily, but we also have many days where we are all cuddly - you know - that couple you see on the street holding hands and trying to be all secret about their PDAs. I've also never been one to celebrate Valentine's Day. Bah Humbug! But this past Sunday was different. J got up and made me a fabulous soy flat white, handed me that and a little gift... !!!! Awwwwww!!! I know!!!!Yes. Those are EXACTLY ...

On the drawing board this week is a project that has been on the cards for quite some time.....Patchwork cushions.I've been saving up the offcuts from my souvenir tea towel stools till I had a healthy stash worthy of bundling together for a cushion or four!I tend to work in color blocks so decided that was the way to go. I ended up with oranges, blues, reds and greens, all my favorites.I have plenty more to make but I thought 4 was a nice amount to have ready for my stall on Saturday at Sisters Market.Do pop by if you're ...
