Long time coming

Not sure if anyone still reads my blogs but I'm still alive!! :)

The only thing is, I havent really made anything special lately so nothing of note to post up on the internet. Just made some black sesame soup today... however, I consider it a failure because it does not smell like black sesame at all... Dont you just hate it when sometimes you just cant make it perfectly the first time around?? Well, I do! I hate high failure rates... next time though, I'm gonna try making some tang yuan with the black sesame soup.. AWESOME combo if you ask me!!

Anyways, I'm gonna try to make some more biscuits/cookies the next time I have some free time to cook.

What have I been up to you ask? Well, Steven a good friend of mine is moving to Queensland to open up a new pharmacy business with his dad. How awesome is that! The downside though, is that we will not be able to meet up as often anymore as he is in another state. So very very sad. But as always, glad to see him taking a new step up in his career. I definitely wish him all the best with his future endeavours though whilst I'm still only stuck in a pharmacist position. Hope my luck turns around soon and I'll be able to manage or even own my own store. *wishes super hard*.
The boys


The Girls
My life these few weeks consists of eating, eating and eating. Went to Shoya ( http://www.shoya.com.au ) the last night of meeting Steven with a bunch of friends. The set meal was $59 each. A bit on the expensive side, but definitely very worth the money. The ingrediends that were brought out to barbeque were definitely of the freshest quality. Take a look at the set menu on the website. We also had a bottle of sake to be shared between all of us which was fantastic to wash down our bbq with. Besides the food, which I thoroughly enjoyed, the ambience was really good as well as fantastic service from the staff there. I have been there twice already and the quality is still as good as ever! Well done on them and they deserve to be rated highly. I do recommend going there.. even though I havent tried their lunch menu yet.. should do that one day eh?

Thats my life story compressed into one semi-long post. Oh... lets not forget the tragedy in Japan. Pray for their speedy recovery. The loss of a loved one is all too familiar to me and I would not wish that upon anyone.

Your fake-masterchef buddy,
Douglas.
