This looks like the sun.


So, you (Mortimer), brett and I are at the current hot spot in Vic West... eggplant resting, wild meat being cooked and a lasagna being made. This will be the first time i've eat full frontal meat ever since the transition to victoria. It's a big deal.
Not really though.

I've been obsessed with persian cooking lately, mostly because my life is becoming more and more biased in that general direction. And how eggplant is their potato and how they use alot of rose water. I had this brilliant plan where I want to made a rose water cake with white chocolate icing for sabos birthday, except i don't know how to attack it, would the flavor still stand out if I used a awesome white cake batter, and add the flavoring, or how should I go on about this? I've been going through recipes upon, recipes online and I'm still in this confused mixed rough draft about it. I know for sure i have a solid cream cheese, white chocolate icing for the entire thing.... Laura want to come over and enjoy it too? I hear you like cheesecake!

You don't know what you'll find, you don't know what she hides

At home, not yet drinking wine but will be soon. I baked a delicious loaf of banana bread last night and my landlord's dog stole it off the kitchen counter. Hmmph.

I was at work today and talking to Kevin the surgeon, who stopped in the middle of stitching up a wound in the shoulder of a cat with a brain tumour to pose an interesting question, "If you could travel to any time period and meet someone who's dead, and have the chance to have a conversation with them, who would you choose?" And I said Sir Edmund Hillary, which was kind of off the top of my head, but a good choice nonetheless. And when Kev shouted out the question to the whole clinic, one person said Da Vinci, which I thought was a pretty decent option too. So who would you choose?

Just had a brief Facebook convo with an acquaintance from Rez, who is now in Australia. She's going sailing on a famous reef tomorrow. Every time I hear about her, she is doing something fantastic. It's very inspiring, and makes me feel good.

I ate so many doughnuts and so much chocolate at work today. Ohmygod. That place is hazardous to my health.
