This Strawberry Rose Smoothie is the most delicious smoothie I’ve ever made. It’s the smoothie of my dreams. (It could well be the smoothie of your dreams, too, if you’re willing to give it a try.) Truth be told, this creation is actually the smoothie of my insomnia-before-the-dreams, as it came to me in a [...]

And so it came to pass that after Thai and The Little Mermaid, cake for breakfast with my Sugar Twin, and frozen yoghurt for lunch followed by Pocahontas, my next Melbourne adventure involved Japanese food, more food blogger friends, and free alcohol. On Saturday night I-Hua, her fella and I drove to Komeyui Japanese Restaurant. [...]

Three things I should remind you of before we jump into this third post of my Melbourne adventures. 1. I had Cacao Green frozen yoghurt and a Dark Mocha Soy Frappuccino for lunch on Friday. 2. I stole some of I-Hua’s Cacao Green frozen yoghurt before dinner on Friday night. 3. I had cake for [...]

After staying up late my first night in Melbourne to sing such lyrical gold as “sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain’t that sad, ain’t it shame, too bad, you gonna miss the girl” with I-Hua, and eating all the chocolate from my bed as well as much of I-Hua’s bag of dried mango from Costco, I woke up bright [...]
