That's where I went! I've been going there for years. The new bakery next door is lovely too, and I'm not just saying that because the owner gave me free bread! It's delish, and very authentic French. No square bread here, thank you! Also, Samios is good for the same kind of stuff as Pennisi, but on Annerley Rd. I wont be going to the Gabba again any time soon tho, not even after 6pm, since I'm on the north side, I don't have a car and I don't reckon I could get DS to agree to a bus ride with me when it's his dinner time! Will have to have a look out for tempeh at my local places. I don't think I've given it to DS yet, so that will be another new food for him to try! He's eating more food than me at the moment, which is a bit scary. Growth spurt maybe. I've never seen a kid eat so much hommus and rye bread, it's astonishing!
I have just received a very special delivery of 1 litre each of my friend's famous jalapeno jelly and chipotle jam. Almost worth coming back to Qld just for that! I have missed it so much...
I do tend to find Coles much better for tofu and tempeh and things. Gabba Central particularly good - maybe it's the massive local student population? They've also started to stock tofutti, which is great, so now the only thing I go to Woolies for is Home Brand tortillas, and we're even starting to go off them. Woolies have stopped stocking DH's beloved strawberry so good, so he doesn't want to shop there any more! lol.
OK I know I haven't been here lately but we had the nicest dinner tonight. Was so awesome I had to share: Rice paper wrappers filled with chopped Frys vege nuggets, toasted cashews, sliced mango, hoisin sauce, coriander, cucumber, carrot, lettuce and tomato.
To die for! I ate about 8 I think.
hmph! keep losing internet... this is a re-post of what I tried to say half an hour ago:
A good friend of mine, who is also a vego chef and mama, her husband is a buyer for the organic place in Forest Glen. It's awesome, and my family has shopped there since I was a kid. But yeah, being without a car makes that trip a little challenging on a regular basis. But I will be heading up to stay at my friend's place and visit my mum soon, so maybe a co-op is in order?!
Krysalyss - can I come round for leftovers?? Sounds yummy! I don't know about dying for it, but I'd get the train to Rocky if someone was going to make me home-meade rice paper rolls! I'm so hungry, DS ate most of my dinner (and lunch!) so I've had toast... The kid is eating me out of house and home.
Pumpkin thread?? I'm intrigued...
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick one, its impossible to do anything at the moment but DD is smooshing broccoli into her mouth(and the carpet) so I have a couple of mins
Rice paper rolls- my new favourite meal! So random I was actually coming on to say how Ive just fallen in love with them. Made them twice this week already, sooooo yummy Krysalyss yours sound divine! I tried mine with kecap manis the other night as we usually have plain soy... what other sauces can you have with them? ****ake mushrooms are my new love too, soooo good.
NaNa- Are you still doing your elimination diet?
Cherished- No problems, I miss posts all the time. How are you going?
Snuggly- I havnt seen your pumpkin thread, did you grow one?
Aliash- How are you going?
Yesterday I was taken out to lunch in paddington by my best friend which was nice, ordered 5 dishes between the two of us and left soooo full! Had risotto balls, rocket salad with caramelised walnuts, whats that fried cheese? Ah yep, haloumi which I dont really dig that much and potato jacks(so tasty!) and friend had crocodile Was nice to go out though, especially as there is nowhere down here to eat out at....
Things have been good here, DD is turning into the little vegie connosiour(sp) now happily munching on sticks of tofu. My Dad came over on sat "Are you raising her veg?" Me "Yup" "Oh no, why deprive the poor child?" Me Gotta love the relos
