Mmmm... Food!

Here is a list of some food I love to eat that you should all try!

* Brie cheese with blueberry jam and pinenuts on toast - I made this by accident the other week and it ended up tasting great! I have done strawberry jam and cheese on toast before but decided to add a twist and to brie and blueberry jam. The pinenuts were lying next to the toaster so I added some in and it ended up tasting great!!

* Snakebites - this is a drink I had in Europe which I get bartenders to make here in Sydney when I feel like a beer but don't want the bitter taste to it. It's 3/4 of any beer, 1/4 cider (or alternatively lemonade if they don't have any or you're driving) and a bit of rasberry on top to sweeten it out. The drink turns a nice pinky colour and goes down easy.

* Ricotta hotcakes at Bills - I think there are a few Bills restaurants around Surry Hills/Darlinghurst area. The ricotta pancakes are great for brunch! But perhaps arrive a bit later towards lunchtime so that you don't have to queue that long

* Affogatos - Drinking coffee with icecream in it is so much better than plain coffees! Creates a lovely creamy, sweet taste! Plain coffees are boring and if coffee prevents me from falling asleep, I might as well have a really nice one with ice cream in it!

* Forest Berries Special K - This is the best cereal ever! The berries taste really good.

* Pork Belly with dark wheatbeer at the Bavarian Beer Cafe- fatty but yummy but the beer makes you think that its eating away the porkbelly fat in your stomach so its all alright. The beer has a slight toffee flavour to it... yum! I could drink it all day!

* My special 'Greek' salad- this salad was meant to be a Greek salad but some accidents happened and wrong things got added but in the end tasted really good! Crush the fetta cheese so its got a crumbly texture (not too crumbled though), and add mushroom and sundried tomatos (along with two different types of lettuce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and any other vegies). The crumbled fetta makes it taste nicer because you don't suddenly get these big salty chunk of cheese in your mouth

* Ribs at Hurricanes- If you haven't tried the ribs at Hurricanes at Bondi Beach, you're missing out. The BEST ribs ever! And if you have room afterwards, pop over to the gelato store next door. Hurricanes also has a takeaway service now- yay!

* Pavalova- This is my favourite cake but I'm still seeking a cake shop that makes decent pavalovas. Pavalova Pantry in Pymble closed when I was young and it made the most delicious pavalovas ever and I used to have it at every birthday party but can't anymore! No decent pavalovas around!! Please let me know if you know of any place that makes good pavalova.

* Coconut rice- I was at an island in New Caledonia and tried coconut rice and it was so yummy! It's really easy to make and tastes good with any stir fry. Just make your rice as normal and then pour in a can of coconut milk afterwards and mix it in. Let it sit for a minute or so and then eat... its so yummy that I can just eat it plain.

Writing about food has made me hungry! FYI- my friends know that I put on 3kg in winter every year as I'm like a bear and naturally store up fat for winter (but I don't hibernate). I then naturally lose 3kgs in summer. I weighed myself last week and I have now gained my winter fat!
