I love winter! I don't remember what clothes I wore last year because I seem to have 1000 tshirts and one cardigan. Very strange. I can't wait til it's even colder and I can dig out my crochet gloves and hat and scarf. I lurve rugging up!
The picture is a little old, from the 26th of Feb, and is the last lunch I've been really happy with photographically. All that nice colour! And that tasty tasty sticky rice I mentioned last time. It DOES freeze well so I really recommend it. I have the last of it today and I'm really feeling the need for the sticky rice comfort food-ness.
I tried out the Lentil Snacks from justbento.com on the weekend and the Boy and I give them a big thumbs down. I'm thinking I did something wrong because everyone on the justbento forum seems to be fans. I found them dry and icky tasting and yesterday just threw them out after one nibble. I was going to suffer through eating the 10 or so in the freezer but now I'm thinking I'll just toss them all. Why suffer through lunch when it's the best bit of my working day? Plus, they used ingredients I already had so were technically free in those terms. It's not like I went out and bought anything specifically for them.
I've been very dull on the eating front this last fortnight except for sticky rice and cupcakes (Basco vanilla cupcakes - gluten free and FANTASTIC! Also freezable! I made a bunch into mini cupcakes YUM). I've been unpacking - still, after finding the boys to be not so great at doing it NOW. Why put it off? Finally got to IKEA and bought something to put my clothes into so that's something. It's mostly done now, hooray!
Also had my last week of classes at the School of Fashion. I definitely passed Pattern Making, with about an 80% I think. Garment Construction I'm pretty certain I passed but am waiting on my last mark. But I'm pretty confident it's at least a pass as my jacket looked completely rocking... many pictures to come once it's back because I am SO proud of it!
In eating out news, if you haven't been to Grill'd, you should TOTALLY go. Not only do they do GREAT chips (completely GF) they also do great burgers! AND now you can have a bun too! Sure, they do a great enough burger that I was never unhappy tucking into what was essentially a salad with a burger on top, but nothing beats picking up a burger in your hands and taking a massive bite, frantically trying to not drip on anything you like and not lose your fillings. I'm not sure what the buns are made of (group speculations believes them to be corn based) but they are very tasty. If you are more sensitive than me, ask then to put the bun on a plate while it's being toasted as they use the one toaster for all breads. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up for the food and the service at Grill'd in Glenferrie Rd Malvern, Chapel St Windsor and QV in the city.
