Ah yes Jim Barry…very familiar with good old Jim. Which reminds me I’ve got to send you an email with some question about you and Australian wine.

It looks like the terrace was beautiful at the Oriental and I’m in love with those pretty pink scales…and that ice cream, wow!

It’s sad that no-one ever puts enough love into making the chips (or fries). It’s the same in this steak place I like here. Of course, the steak is the “main thing”, but that doesn’t mean to say the sides should just be bashed out carelessly. They’re still part of the dish, right?!

Your vacation place looks so serene…but why oriental? I mean, why is the restaurant called Oriental…..the burger looks great though.

What a nice way to re-enter after such a lovely time away. I couldn’t help but salivate over that ice cream! Ferrero Rocher chocolate made into ice cream! To die for! 🙂 Lovely!

I love those lolly shops where you can find all those kinds of lollies. What a delicious stop you had!

I love the Blue Mountains, so much to see and do and explore! Often we stop for a meal and a vino at the Gardners Inn at Blackheath, reasonable prices and I guess it’s the atmosphere I love. Has a great wood fire and Chesterfield Couchs that used to be in the pool room, but are now out in the dining room. I often have the urge to push innocent bystanders off the Couchs to that I can indulge my urge to sit and relax and soak up the fire. My most favourite thing is to try country pubs, and there is always some thing to enjoy..the pub at Trundle in Central NSW if fun, as is the Peeramon Pub on the Atherton Tablelands Far North Queensland!!! Anyway, love reading your blog, was introduced to it by another food blog Absolutelyjas!
