Breakfast

Pancake Stack

3/20/2006 10:50:00 PM
I really, really wanted a stack of pancakes.And the week before my Sydney trip, I saw the stack of Pancake Day Pancakes that Niki had made on her blog, which filled me with hungry envy. Even though I did make pancakes on that day, (fabulous American breakfast pancakes), my presentation sucked. I did my usual gimpy thing of...

The Sydney Weekend: One more hungover (non-bills) breakfast

3/18/2006 12:11:00 PM
Well, I wasn't really "hungover", just super-tired. I have no idea why we got a room with a 10am checkout the day after the Mardi Gras parade, giving our whole group about 4 hours of sleep each. Sheesh.Anyway, for our last breakfast for our Sydney '06 trip, I obviously wanted bills. The closest one, bills on Crown street,...

On Saturday morning, I got up at a ridiculously early hour of the morning, and made my way down to the monthly Pyrmont Growers' Market. It's on the water, right in front of the Star City casino, and it happens on the first Saturday of every month. I've wanted to go ever since I read about it at...

On Friday, we went to bills cafe for lunch, and had been planning on going to Kylie Kwong's restaurant for dinner. However, they don't take bookings, and when we arrived, we were informed that it would be a 1.5 hour wait for a table! We didn't want to wait, so we just went next door to bills 2.This...
