What are you eating right now?

[Johns Magic]

Having a Sunday roast at a British pub. Solid, although everything here tastes of either nothing or salt.

Whereabouts are you these days Mis and what takes you there?

The new wife and I are here for a wedding, but headed to Tbilisi to call it home for 3-4 months.

We’ve been calling Hoi An, Vietnam home for most of the last year and a half, but we’ve got three weddings to attend in the Northern Hemisphere this year, so sticking to this half of the world for the time being.

Just got back from a solid Japanese dinner: spicy salmon roll, kariage yakisoba, and piping hot miso with a chilly Kirin for company.

 

[horrie hastings]

Lychees and ice cream

 

[Misanthrope]

I've been battling a fever these last three days, so I've had trouble working up much of an appetite.

Missus ordered spicy bean soup, cheesy bread, and Georgia's famous tomato & cucumber salad with walnuts for dinner, but I only managed one piece of bread.

Was good bread, though!

What the hell do you do for a gig? Jealous.

I work for a safari company in East Africa as their representative for the Asia Pacific + the UK. Basically, as long as I can answer my emails and get people quotes quickly, it doesn't really matter where I live.

The missus is trying to get her own online business up and running as well, so places like Georgia and Vietnam work for us: cheap rent, relaxed visa laws, and low cost of living.

 

[AJB1102]

Toad meat spring rolls, bat and sweet corn soup, steamed bin chicken with mushrooms, mongolian rat and spider egg fried rice. Washed down with a 6 pack of Corona.

Ate so much I'm feeling a bit fluey..

Watched an episode of Nigella Lawson last night and she made waffles and I thought to myself it has been years since I have had waffles and ice cream.

My American wife was horrified to learn that the first time I had waffles was when I was 25 or so. I tried to explain to her that sweet breakfasts (danishes, syrupy French toast etc.) aren't as big a thing in Australia as they are in the States, but she wasn't having it.

 

[Misanthrope]

It's Friday night, so the missus and I are having a big, cheesy khachapuri and washing it down with a remarkably solid Georgian red.

Yes i have never been able to work out the waffles and pancakes for breakfast, as you say they aren't a big thing in Australia and the idea of them covered in syrupy sweet sauce just doesn't compute with me. Back in the 80s i had a Sunbeam sandwich maker which you could swap the plates and make waffles, made them a few times and they were nice, only needed some ice cream and as you mentioned some fresh berries, a nice desert but not for breakfast. When i was growing up french toast was only bread dipped in egg and milk and fried up for breakfast with maybe just a bit of pepper added, imagine my horror one day going to a cafe for breakfast and they had french toast covered in strawberries and syrup, ugggh.
