Elk and Pea breakfast | Great omelet at @elkandpea


Elk and Pea on Lonsdale Street in Braddon

On Wednesday morning I went to the Elk and Pea on Lonsdale Street with some fellow medical and scientific advisers from work. I’ve previously been there for a weekend dinner, weekend breakfast and a weekend morning tea. It’s a pretty good place and it’s getting more popular.

I asked for the omelet with chorizo. This was quite large and filling. Very tasty though and I’d happily recommend it to anyone who has a big appetite and didn’t think they’d need to eat lunch. I seriously didn’t feel the need to eat until late that evening. It was a good thing I didn’t get home from work that day until 1930 AEST.

And a special mention to fellow Canberra blogger, viz., Tara from In The Taratory,  I got a butter knife but the sourdough was softened by the omelet and I wasn’t regretting my choice. That said, I continue to echo your plea that breakfast restaurants need to better consider their cutlery when serving hard toast. A steak knife would be ideal.

Five years working in Canberra


This image was captured on my first day at DoHA five years ago. I now have a different work area and my job is a little different.

Today marks five years of working in Canberra. I have a great job and work with magnificent people. Even better, I work with amazing colleagues in other states and territories as well as people internationally.

I have decided to grow my winter coat with a hamburger and ice cream


Sure it’s Autumn, but this is Canberra. It’s absurdly cold. We haven’t had a Summer.

After a long week, I didn’t want to prepare anything complicated. I decided on a hamburger and ice cream.

Wagyu beef hamburger pattie. I love butter and barbecue sauce.

Doesn't look nice and neat on the plate.

Ice cream and whipped cream. YUM.
