Vegemite Smiths crinkle cut chips - nice mild tasting chips, but not addictive, so probably good that they are only being released in a smaller 90gm size.
Twisties ghostly flavour - taste and texture similar to those old Freers Burgerman snacks. Nice, but flavour is too mild. Done as ghost shapes.
CC's Energy (cheese flavour with guarana/caffeine) - totally stupid idea... it's not the sort of food you'd choose for an energy hit, and I didn't feel anything different as the saturated fats were having their normal sluggish affect. If you are after caffeine or an energy hit, grab a sugary cola softdrink - it'd have a quicker affect, and would actually be healthier for you (with just sugar, compared to sugar & fat in the CCs).

Zumbo is open at The Star casino. You can get macaroons for $2.50 each there, no need to wake up early to queue at their Balmain store.

Dunno about their macaroons, but just about everything else at that Zumbo store is a disgrace. The dessert train is empty of people and of desserts (on a Fri night), they mucked up my order and also sold me a dessert that had gone off (the manager tried it and agreed...).

Pretty sure they won't be around for much longer at the Star

been trying to perfect the cooking technique of Takoyaki. Got my hotplate /mold for it delivered weeks ago and been cooking up a batch every now and then. It's not as easy as it looks, I might try replacing it with prawns instead, they don't sell octopus tentacles alone and I dont wanna end up with a lot of leftover octopus meat, plus it's cheaper getting prawns ..


that bulldog sauce makes it really tasty

Just made my own chips and salsa and holy crap I could eat this stuff for the rest of my life. It has:

- Handful of Mission Lime'n'Chilli Corn Triangles/Chips
- 3x Diced Tomatos
- 1/2 Cup Diced Lettuce
- 1/2 Diced Capsicum
- Couple Tablespoons of Corn Cernels
- 1/2 Can of Refried Beans
- Squeeze of Lime
- Tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- 1/4 Onion Sliced
- Couple of Shakes Tobasco Sauce
- Some Halapeno Slices

Lay out the chips on a plate and mix all other ingredients before adding them on top of the chips and DAYUM you have a very nice dish here.

What I like mostly about this meal though is that after eating it you feel full, but it's the right type of full. You've filled yourself with good healthy ingredients and your throat doesn't feel greased up and you actually feel refreshed as opposed to drowsy like you do when you eat Fast Food.

Highly Recommended Dish

3 words- pasture fed beef! After trying what beef as it should be tastes like, I'm never going back to the non-organic stuff. To say it's bland in comparison is an understatement of an understatement.
