A Failed Adventure

A Failed Adventure

We have been harassing our friend for ages to take us crabbing but he normally goes during the week. We convinced him to take us on Monday night as Tuesday was a public holiday for us. Tuesday was the Melbourne Cup which is public holiday for a horse race. We met up for dinner around the corner then headed off afterwards. We did not know where we were going.  After nearly two hours of driving we got to our destination and it was stunning.

 

 

Our friends said plenty of crabs but tonight we had not been lucky. We got to the pier and no crabs to be found at all. We waited an hour and by this stage in was nearly 9 pm and was still about a two hour drive back and still no sign so we gave up and headed home. We took a relaxing drive home  past the Desalination plant. We got home at 12 am and even though we did not catch anything we still spent some quality time together. We will go again another day.

Have you had an experience like this ?

On Friday night Kim and I wanted to go somewhere that we hadn't been in a while. We wanted to go for a drive to the local mountain.We live in an amazing area, 30minutes to the beach and 30 minutes the other way to the mountain.  It was a cold wet night, The restaurant was doing Christmas in July so the place had all decorations around.

 It is quite inviting as you walk in and the waiters are friendly. We sat down in the back corner so it was quiet.

I got my beer and Kim had her cider

Kim has realised that she likes wheaty, hoppy beer so she liked my Hefeweizen, I like them because they taste like bubblegum.

I had the Asian Pork Belly, it was pork belly marinated in garlic and ginger. It had a broth with black beans.  It was sweet, sour but a slight chili taste after. It was amazing.

Kim had the twice cooked pork belly, with spicy lentils and crackling. It just melted in your mouth. The crackling was so crunchy and perfect. Maybe that's why it took just under an hr to get our meal?

other than that it was amazing.

After dinner we really wanted desert so we got the Honeycomb and Frangelico Semi Fredo.

I thought what the heck is that, it is a milk chocolate ganache (the stuff in macaroons).

We love desert, and it was really good. its just works so well together. It is one of those restaurants that can can go for a romantic meal.

Even with the wait for the meal it was still a lovely night and we will be back.
