for the late lunch at The Deck Brighton
easy to say than to write about something, right?
I really favoured this place when I first visited t with Ned Vorkapic and ordered the same dish: Vietnamese salmon salad. I remember it was greatly decorated and tasted amazing: it was crispy, oriental and spicy the taste was balanced and the salad was made with so much love
I order the same dish there year after year but no idea why the salad keeps changing without getting better for some reason. I might change it next year but that will be my lats try if it does not work
this time the salad was very watery, no Asian flour noticed, the fish was boiled and tasted - hm... a bit strange to me, the green parts f the salad were ruined as you can not out the hot/warm fish on the top of the greens without damaging the flavor - it HAS to be cold. the warmness of the salmon did not enhance the flavor, on the contrary, the salad was made loveless . what I loved was a violet mayo that gave the salad a colored lift otherwise it would simply be a home made quick hand salad prepared from the last night leftovers. 
we were really hungry as we did not eat anything till almost 0200pm but it would be actually much better without something that tasted that bad. 
the coffees were very poor in flavour. I was told the cafe uses Dimattina Coffeebeans - I love this coffee brand but again - the coffees were not good.

at Pinocchio Italian South Yarra & Kew South Yarra for dinner .
I felt very guilty though eating such a sophisticated dish knowing the poor #Pinocchio(aka Russian #Buratino) ate raw onion for breakfast, listened to the annoying lessons of an intelligent cricket and beautiful Malvina, The Blue-Hair Girl who encouraged him to count the apples; I guess their friend Poodle Artemon knew how to count better than the stupid Buratino. Russian version of the famous tale promoted good hearted Buratino vs. dumb Buratino who trusted The Fox and The Cat, the local crooks who told him that money can grow on trees - anyway the story was very very sad to me while I was a small girl... The tale said: it is better to have good heart rather than to have a good brain - very Russian story indeed - the kind but lazy fools there always get everything: the girl, the money and the kingdoms while his hard working but evil brothers get the "kukish s maslom" . I imagined I was a smart Malvina and I hated Buratino for his brainless behavior; Well the poor boy did not even have money to buy his first Az-buka (the Alphabet school book) forget about our chips... although when the wooden boy opened the Magical Doors and his own theater he was sort of bearable... but overall - it was one horrible story, horrible... The pictures on the walls were very engaging and we noticed that was a family place with lots of boys at around 10-12 years old who for some reason were all starring at us and I had to explain to each of them that we speak Russian - that made them red in their faces - I have no idea why :)
Back to the food. We ordered two porterhouses with roasted vegetables. Best part of the dinner was the veggies cooked with perfection - the meat was very tough and leathery, unengageable and tasteless, the chips were from the local supermarket I guess - no love put into cooking - it was felt right through. the chips weer supposed to be with parmesan cheese - none we saw though. The rather overpriced dishes did not correspond to the food quality and some common standards.

my personal counselor and good old friend takes me for breakfast today to a very special place Dalle Stella Cafe & Restaurant. 
What is there to note : 
~ we have bags from the same place - nevertheless hers is winter and mine is summer , 
~ the cafe is full of butterflies, 
~ we get a personalised service from the owner. The Shanghai girl who apparently loves my friend very much, makes sure we are served in special high tea cups , 
~ I got a T2 Tea present , 
~ we might get to run a media coverage for this beautiful gem.
That must be enough ... The coffees are superb so are the croissants at Dalle Stella, Carnegie

it was one last and righteous stop for dinner on the way back home
Entertainment Book's Schnitz at Highpoint Shopping Centre for schnitzels.
service: misapprehended to the maximum (basically I think of the only possible excuse for that: the girl at the counter was perhaps simply testing my tolerance which is usually 10/10 and I was very reserved with her ignorance about the business she works in . Example:
"- Hi I was wondering what can I have with this voucher?
- we do not serve this and that
- no sorry you probably did not understand what I asked you: what I CAN get, not what I can NOT get
- ok, I do not know, have a look at the menu on the wall at the top
- ok, I looked , I will have this and that
- no , I think you can not have it, our menus changed. you need to have a look at the paper menu. [she vanishes to talk with the manager]. I found what you can have: this with that
- ok, I order.
- no you can not have it
- but you just said I can,
- our menu has changed
- yes I know that now. just give me what I can get
- ok,10.50$ please
- what do I have?
- you have this and that
- but you just said 2 minutes ago I can not have it. ok, I give up - give me please what you think is right. I do not know what is it , I do not want to know..." 
I come back to our table. 
Alex: what did you order? 
Me: I have no idea darling :) :) I think it's food coming from a very knowledgeable personnel :) ) 
atmosphere: pale but bearable, the music is too loud for us to speak and even to hear this same music - I have no idea how it is possible but seems there are strange noises in my head perhaps after that "order" :) 
food quality: finest flavours, absolutely delish

just enjoying our three selves and gossip about mmmmmm... no memory here noted....

I love this place and keep coming here year after year - it does not change its high level of treating the food and their customers! thank you guys for everything today!

after our long day filming on Sunday for the Valentine's Day project Alex takes me out for late lunch / early dinner ...
the wait is a bit longer than expected - the place is almost full so I go over to the other side of the bar to listen to the music and sit quietly opposite to the guitarist... 
he asks me: "what would you like to listen to?"
"something Russian please" 
"soviet?"
"no, thank you... you know, they write very good songs now too.. they are always hungry there...hungry people perform better in art "
"hm....Beatles?" 
"oh yes... this is VERY Russian... NO, please"
"ok, I know what I will sing for you... listen..."
I listen - he is Dom Italiano Music - he is pretty good... our late lunch is ready... I love his voice, he is cool. he must be hungry for his art is fine...
we are at .... (forgot the place name - in North Carlton) - need to check the photo tags.... sorry...
I love this place - the chef is unexpectedly fantastic for the pub food... it is not in the look f the dish but inside the food - we go there every year!
Entertainment Book thank you for introducing us to 
~ the some fair , 
~ some amazing but 
~ some very home-like, and very warm
places. I guess this one was the latter...
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

we are lunching at The French Lettuce Carlton with Mr Kapuska Ned Vorkapic and everything is sooooo delicious here Entertainment Book special I am having very tender chicken on rye and latte and Ned is having beef burgundy pie and hot chocky

the way to the "destination" was interrupted by the visit to Tokar Estate Winery , Coldstream, Victoria, Australia. The place is remarkable by its dishes (sorry for us being no wine drinkers) and the way they present them, sensationally shaped cutlery with the top of the table - the pumpkin mayo: something so smooth and tasty that the word 'mayo' will be completely out of my dictionary for a while... 
the price: with the Entertainment Book - half of your main https://www.entertainmentbook.com.au/orderbooks/182v887 (I recommend you to buy the next year issue 2018-19 that will be out of the printing house in March 2018)
to our total shock we were simply taken to the completely different country with the climate that changed in front of our eyes from the hot steaming spa (that it was today to the cool, cold, pleasant, humid and rainy with the mountain fresh air right into our windows from the outside - this is your #WarburtonWoodsPointRoad welcoming us through the national park, the road that I never ever taken before - if you look at the map it goes like a golden snake for full 45 minutes through a very thick forest with no cars travelling in any direction - why? I have no idea, people but it was a total magic!
...plus the Redwood Forest East Warburton added to the atmosphere indeed: you arrive to the full car park , get out of your car and there is no one around - not a soul it's quiet and then goes the grand wall-like forest full of tiny birds, my broken new iPhone 8 (crashed glass) , dry brunches everywhere that are organised into the nests, hats and bottles of water left under the trees feeling like the people were there just 2 min ago but taken traveling through the mysterious door / an open portal to another realm... and families / groups of people appearing between the tree trunks here and there: without warning sound or sign: you could also feel these trees simply read your mind... so intense the energy is...but was glad I showed it to Alex finally... he loved it although said it was way too perfect with its artificial lines (the forest) and we were quiet on the way back for a while till we reached MxDonalds Mcoffee - yes please as everything else was closed!..

this is my fav place in Melbourne when it comes to the food cooked with love... I do not need to go any further nor do you..
at The Furlan Club in Thornbury for lunch yesterday with my friend
half price meals with your Entertainment Book always plus the red kitty is one curly and furry bonus of course...

Stokers Fine Pancakes Clarendon St South Melbourne with Entertainment Book for our half price meal .
Ned is obviously happy nevertheless his chicken burger looks so big - like it's gonna eat him, not the wrong way round 😊

Ok while someone is enjoying her grooming session Natasha is preparing a list of things she needs to buy to start her new challenge: cooking following " #Yallateef! " book recipes, actually six of them , and yes, I intend to buy lots of spices at Oasis AUBakery North Road Murrumbeena and if I say I loved my espresso at Twisted Sista Cafe and Gelateria - Knox yhis morning I would be telling the truth ....
Penny are you freaking ready? How much time do these bitches need to spend at the salon 💇???? I could have had my hair and manicure done already !!! Oh this is what she is having anyway! Thank god I am not as hairy as her !! 🐶

Threekookaburras Publishing House present a new book called #PachydermBook
AUTHOR: Hugh McGinlay - Author
SERIES: #CatherineHint
PUBLISHER: Three Kookaburras
PUBLISHED: 2017
CATEGORY: Crime/Fiction
Susie O'Day-Cashmere writes: 
"When I was given this book to read, I assumed it would be some kind of endangered wild life species. How wrong I was!!
It’s a book that begins at the Melbourne Zoo, drinking champagne, until an animals death at the zoo throws the milliner/part time sleuth into another mystery, something of which Catherine Kint thrives on. Catherine and her trusted best friend, Boris, fellow part time sleuth insert themselves in the case and annoy everyone from zoologists to the police.
Accidents happen, rivalries and egos clash, reputations will be tarnished and by the end of the novel, one of the characters will be fed to an extremely ravenous carnivore! Pachyderm s the second crime solving adventure for our heroine Catherine Kint and her crime solving partner Boris. The first book in the series is called JINX, which I highly recommend for a great read as well.
The scene is set in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, littered with trendy coffee shops, pubs and bars. Kint is a kind of accidental detective who has the knack of turning any adventure out of the ordinary into a mysterious crime adventure. So a social occasion at the zoo, starts with a romantic encounter with a zoo keeper but soon ends with the sad and tragic sudden death of a female Asian elephant, Dang Zei.
Despite Kint’s conviction that the elephants death is connected to to the mauling of a zoo keeper called Hacksa, who Kint had a slight romantic interest with, the Zoo officials and Police refuse to listen to her. McGinlay throws some great tongue in cheek humour into this story as she did with the first novel JINX.
It’s fast paced and high drama from the onset. Simply put, it’s fabulous!
Kint stomps mercilessly into anyone’s life she can get answers from and you get the feeling that if you met her, you just might want to strangle her!! There is a lot of character development, contemplation, drinking and some poignant moments both in terms of love lost and gained. Added of course to the fabulous mystery solving.
It’s a quirky read and thoroughly entertaining. JINX and PACHYDERM are the first 2 in the Catherine Kirt detective series and I for one am hoping and looking for some more!
I give it $8 out of $10 on the “Cashy Scale”
