Okay it’s a bit more than the weekend. On returning to Canberra I caught up with Bron and we had dinner at the Canberra Southern Cross Club (Jamison) on Wednesday night. I had my usual scotch fillet steak with calamari and prawns. You’ll notice a jug of pepper sauce as well as a jug of Béarnaise (because that’s how I roll).

On Thursday morning Bron made Cinnabon for her work mates. I got to have two for breakfast (lucky me).

On Thursday evening Bron made an aubergine curry. It was delicious.

On Friday morning we had a Mavi breakfast wrap. I love these. They are bacon, egg, hash brown, mushrooms and barbecue sauce rolled up in a flat bread and served with a medium coffee. Two of these cost $19 at Mavi in Phillip.

That evening we went to Kingsleys Steak and Crabhouse in Civic. I had a steak with WA marron which was delicious. The steak was extraordinarily tender even if it was a little medium rare rather than rare. The potato bake and beetroot salad were nice accompaniments.

For dessert we had caramel cheese cake with peanut brittle.

Saturday morning came and I felt full from Friday night. I’m so grateful Bron was happy with making me a poached egg and avocado.

That afternoon we went to a birthday high tea at Adore Tea for a dear friend, viz., Nat.

Last night Bron made a beef stew on mash with cabbage.

This morning we went to Urban Pantry for Brunch. I had the big breakfast which was nice but the poached eggs weren’t very good. The yolks were firm and not runny. This is a deal breaker. We won’t return.

Finally tonight I made myself some chicken with avocado, cabbage and onion.

So that’s my extended weekend in food. Good night. I’ll catch you all through the week.
