100% FIKA

I'm sitting in milkbar feeling the coffee time vibes and chillin 2 the maximum.

I've been laughing to myself cause Cory called his latest exhibition 'Adult Contemporary' which is a style Paul coined when describing Pippa's old band All About Eve Babitz. Cory & Paul / Simon & Garfunkle (is that who I mean?) / John & Paul. All the greats.

I watched today how the boiler fixer man fixed the boiler. I will do it myself next time. It was a 20 second job. Working out CSS shits is more complicated and giving me a headache but I challenge myself to sort it. I also feel like some major DIY coming on this weekend - I have my porn movie drive in posters to pick up from the picture framer tomorrow.

SYDNEY FOOD

I can't wait to go here: The Giaconda Dining Room on Denmark Street. The Chef is Paul Merrony from Sydney. If someone has been there, let me know how it was! I'm DYING to know.

The menu at the moment [I picked up a card in Milkbar] reads:

Shellfish Bisque 5.00
Salad of Beetroot & Leeks Vinagrette; Goat's Curd 6.50
Pumpkin Risotto with Oregano 6.00
Boneless & Crisped Pigs Trotters; Eggs Mayonaisse 6.50

Crab Omelette; Green Salad 9.50
Crisp Roast Salmon; Deconstructed Piccalilli 11.00

Grilled Pork Chop; Risotto Milanese 11.75
Grilled Rack of Lamb [for 2 people]; Tian & Gnocchi alla Romana 24.00
Rigatoni with Braised Pork Sausages and Veal Shin with Tomatoes 9.50
Tripe Braised with Chorizo; Smoked Paprika & Butter Beans 9.50

Poached Peach; Eton Mess 6.00
Chocolate & Coffee Mousse; Caramel Sauce 4.50

I think I would have the Beetroot [and hope my friend would order the pig's trotter so I could have a taste because I'm a bit gutless and I'm not sure I would like it] then either the Crab Omelette cause I love eggs or if I was more hungry the Pork Chop and skip dessert.

Imagine the pictures I could take!!
