Was our 29th wedding anniversary yesterday...time flies when you're
having fun!

Had a lovely interlude at a local Italian restaurant - opted for their
Linguine Pescatore - to DIE for..........sumptuous prawns and scallops
with a liberal dash of chilli.... still reeling!
Order it just about every time we dine there... nothing if not
predictable!

Husband had the camembert stuffed chicken with roasted vegetables. Also
very nice - though he scoffed the lot without offering a sample. Did
however get a scrape of the sauce - delicious!
But my taste for shellfish is only satisfied when we dine out - neither
husband nor kids can handle shellfish. so I really can't justify buying
it just for me and they're off-the-menu at home and my one indulgence
when we eat out.

Heh, just buy what you like and cook it for yourself. I don't understand
why someone would give up something they like just because the other party
might not like it. So prepare a steak or chicken or whatever for him and
shellfish for you. :)

I agree Jill. My sister and Brother in law came for a visit, and my
sister can't eat shellfish. So we had a surf (or pond) and turf.
Crawfish and steak, they can pick what they want.

Heh. We do that in my house too - if my son comes over for a meal. He
won't eat shellfish (or anything even remotely "fishy").

We're starting to use a new name instead of Surf'n Turf.

It's now 'Sand meets the Sea'.

LOL!!!

Actually saw 'Sand meets the Sea' at a bistro in a footy club I was at the
other day.

Went down to check out the Grand View for the 15th and had a cruise around
and found the 'Sharks' AFL club. It's wonderful going into a pub/club now,
as smoking has been banned in *all* areas where food or drink is being
served!!

Occasionally I'll buy fresh prawns or lobster for sheer indulgence,
Easter, Christmas or New Year or around birthday, but I get my seafood
fix whenever we eat out, which is generally every couple of weeks.

Reminds me of a wedding & reception we attended back in the late 70s.
Husband (Graeme) has a horrible reaction to all shellfish (can eat fish
though).
Reception was held in a magnificent garden setting, marquees, string
quartet the whole shebang.
Trouble was it was catered for by Burleigh Marr's at Breakfast Creek
and featured seafood platters - each one containing a lobster, 4
Moreton Bay bugs, crabs, copious volume of king tiger prawns, oysters
and green lipped mussels - and served four.
Only thing which wasn't shellfish was the daintily sliced triangles of
bread... and Graeme was ravenous!
I was the envy of all other diners at our table - I scoffed 'our' half
platter of succulent seafood without a moments remorse!!!!!
It was THE best reception I've ever been to!!!!
We made a pit-stop on the way home for Graeme to stave off hunger at
the Windmill on Petrie Terrace (think he scoffed 3 or 4 deep fried
potatoes (cooked whole and one of their 'specialities'...they were
delicious come to think of it) and some other disgustingly greasy
morsels.

Bakatcha!!

I'll be the one with a printed out picture of you, walking around

Or I'll be the one head down and bum up in the cheese section.......

Speaking of which..... the last lot I got from there was absolutely
bloody fantastic!!

It was a Provolone, called 'Auricchio'(sp) and very sharp/tasty........
we had it with some cracked pepper 'Captains Table' biscuits, some Hot
'Old elPaso' salsa and a lovely spicy Barossa Cab Sav..... the
combination worked *very* well!!

I haven't done a taste test on them yet...... I look at them as a tool

I usually grab whichever one I see first. Will look into it further now

My nephew got married recently, down in Sth Aus. i couldn't make it to
the wedding.
My sister sent me pictures of the reception, just to taunt me :-/

My nephew works at a winery (Maclaren Vale IIRC) for most of the year,
and then does time on a cray boat off Kangaroo island.

The entree was a *whole* cray with about 10 *huge* prawns beside it :-/

I like him that much, I got the Video (soon to change to a DVD) of one

I also very much like watching Nick Nairn.

Is the Pope Catholic?

But only for the antioxidant qualities... I assure you.... (winks and
chortles)

The year we married ('77) bought a bottle of Penfold's Grange. (We were
ashamedly poor in those days - just buying one bottle nearly broke us
for the week!)

Patted it down, kept it safe...gave it the occasional compliment...
then, in 2004 on the momentous occasion of husband's 50th
opened it........... was WELL worth waiting for!

Were going to save it for our 30th wedding anniversary (2007) but were
advised against it.
Took it along to a Penfold's workshop about 5 years ago and was told
it's current worth (then) was around $700-$800. Nearly had a heart
attack!
I was seriously considering selling it on ebay... but Graeme said no
way.
You can buy a mighty big load of wine for that sort of money... hehehe
It went down very nicely with a superb eye fillet from ZF
Nowadays I love the Wirra Wirra Church Block... a very nice drop if you
can find it.
Got a dozen laid down will have a few to open next year - turn 50 and
30th anniversary... am looking forward to a (sozzled) 2007!!!

I did a "Big Reds" tasting at the Paddo a couple years back, when they
had the current release of Grange. Everyone was waiting with bated
breath for the opening of the bottles. When we all got our 'splash',
they all stood around and acted like a bunch of wine ******s expousing
the greatness and quality of the wine, and no-one had actually drank
their portion. I sniffed and glugged, swished and swallowed. Everyone
looked at me with great expectations to reveal what it tasted like.

I swirled the remanents in the glass, took another sniff, said "I've
tasted $10 reds that are better".... and walked off :-)

*And* I have!! maybe they actually improve with age..... but then again,
I don't like an old wine. I like something that's going to grab you
around the throat as you drink it :-)

They have some *really* good bargains going every now and then.
Buy one case, get one free sort of thing, and they only charge $3 a box
to ship anywhere in Oz.

Just wait for another 7 years and then you'll be the same age as me (who
feels like a 38yo!!)

Thanks, Carol! I inherited my Mom's "young" gene. She died at 79 and
looked 60-ish.

These were brilliant! Particularly liked the door mat "Go Away! Come
back with wine!"

And whilst I am no bible basher, husband pointed out this little gem
from the King James:
(He's weird like that - photorecall memory... it's a bitch sometimes)
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and
thine often infirmities.
Hmmm.... infirmities....let's see..... yep! Plenty!
We've been subscribers to Aust. Wine Society for eons - every 3 months
they send a lovely selection of reds & whites(a dozen or so) for around
$130... and tasting notes of course (which go straight in the bin!)
I do look forward to the December shipment as they include a lovely
calendar, complete with recipes.... very tasty.
Sadly the whites (my usual tipple in warmer months) deplete way too
fast... but now winter is here I can turn my full attention to
diminishing our stock of reds... hehehe

I used to be with a few of those places, Hunter Valley Wine club,
Society D'Vigniorin(sp)......
Got bored with the same stuff appearing year after year.

Now I specifically do auctions and websites. *And* it's all a helluva
lot cheaper. The online auctions more so.

I picked up 3 cases of Tandou Broken Earth Shiraz.... an absolute
*pearler*, for $29 a *case*!!

And a case of Terra Barossa Cab Sav for $44.

I refuse to pay more than $49 a case for labeled and *very* respectable
wines.

I HATE you Michael - can NOT LOSE weight.... with ...ah shit... not
trying to.

Too too many nice foods... too too many nice wines!
When I was 20 - money was the problem. No money to buy the gorgeous
foods/wines on offer. Which was probably a good thing.
Now I'm (almost blue-rinse-set) money (or lack of it) is not an issue -
THANK GOD!

So I'm cuddly.I deal with it.
I'm 50 (in 9 or so months)... figure its quality AND quantity that
counts!
At least I'm HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! (dieting makes me a very, very, very nasty
person)
<smiling sweetly>

What's the use of getting to this age if one can't indulge one's
dearest pleasures in life - eating AND drinking! (and other things...
but that's another group....................)

Never been a stick insect. Never want to be. And in truth, never could
be.
(Have thrown out the bathroom scales my dear mother gave me for Easter
one year. Thought that was a particularly unsubtle low-blow. She's a
bit like that though)
But life's pleasures are too, too tempting for a mere mortal like me.

Think Kraft cheddar in the jar... very runny & smooth. Used to be
available here in Oz.
Was used extensively for 'cheese sauce' back in the 60s & 70s.
