The ingredients are:
The photo was taken by our bery helpful waiter who graciosly set-up our table next to Chloe, took our orders and helped us select the wine and food for the early evening meal.
Since we came here after a Beatles tribute concert at Hamer Hall earlier in the day. It starred Jack Jones, Glenn Sharrock, John Paul Young, Russell Morris and Doug Parkinson. However, Doug was sick and he did not come, hence no Dear Prudence.
I did not take any photos of the concert as it was theoretically forbidden, although several people around us were in fact taking lots of photos / movies. To my mind the highlight of the show was Jack Jones doing My Guitar Gently Weeps with the talented support band.
Note glass and bottle of Red (Shiraz) in front of me and the glass of White in front of Dawn.
Note Glass of Red for Julie.
I did not get any photos of Dawn and Chas selections but would not that they generally drink White Wine whereas we generally drink Shiraz.
Melbourne – 20/7/2019 – at Bar Tini, Hoosier Lane
Our favourite Spanish Chef and Tour guide, Frank Camorra, shows us how to make Paella in his relatively new place in Hoosier Lane, Bar Tini.
I met Julie there. I had a horrible Uber Ride, from a Platinum driver, no less. Nuff said, other than I arrived somewhat late, it did not matter in the end. There were some good Tapas in the Bar area, which I did not take photos of, but then we were invited into the main dining room.
As usual, an absolute delight. With Frank you always get so much more than he promises. I did a recent post about cooked Quail, well Frank had cooked marvellous Quail on one of our tours, so much better than mine. We are hoping to catch up with him on the road somewhere in the future or his place in Lorne!
Some of the Best Home Cooked Mexican Food we can do
16 July, 2019 – Chateau Lara at Edgevale
We are trying to create our own Mexican food. There are a lot more available ingredients than back in the old days when there zilch or Taco Bill.
We had some of Julie’s “kids” over for dinner and they loved both of them. Green is always my favourite.
Monday, 15 July, 2019 – Chateau Lara, Kew, Victoria
We decide to make a nice, spicy Thai Green Chicken Curry, probably had not done another one since Helsinki last year. That one was very hot for everybody except me but I expect that this one will be nicer.
The dish turned out very nice with the spicy flavour without the total burn, at both ends, experienced in Finland.
