My Aunt the Carnivorous Moose: Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 301 -

Two things today! Yes two things worthy of being immortalised in a blog ...

Firstly we tried a new cafe - Peas way down Mitchell road - OK not way down but almost at the end of it - and the food was delicious! Truly, utterly YUM. I had a French beef burger with brie, mushrooms, and sour cream and it was so flavourful, as was the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake that followed it.

Will we be back? As sure as night follows day which follows night ... you get the picture.

Then a brief break in the afternoon - hello nap! Hello Andrew - before going out to Bench Wine Bar in Newtown for Warren's birthday where I got to see Jason and Melinda, and Warren and Leith, friends of Waz's I hadn't seen since the San Francisco trip in October 2009.

We talked lots, drank cocktails, Warren spilt an Long Island Tea down one of the legs of my jeans (fun! No, not really) and then adjourned to Matee across the road for their fabulous Turkish food, more wine, and a fabulous Black Forest Gateau that we had to wait in line to purchase earlier in the day at Haberfield. Yes we waited in line at Papa's an amazing cake shop that is VERY popular!

The line to get into the cake shop including the woman directly in front who was waiting across the road with us for the walk signal, heard us talking getting a cake and bolted once the car cleared to beat us into the line. Hilarious and pathetic all at once.
