Today I finally caught up with Teresa for lunch. It's been yonks since I've been treated to Pelle cuisine!! I was not disappointed!
Pasta!! The lamb just melted in your mouth!
Eggplant Bake
Roast Chicken and Potatoes
Salad
I forget what dessert was but I remember it was minty!

Tonight we had our long awaited and anticipated tripe night dinner party! Teresa cooked the tripe and brought it over. For those who weren't daring enough to try this intestinal delicacy, I cooked some potato gnocci.
Alas! We were all so overwhelmed with hunger, talk and drink that I forgot to take a photo of the delicious tripe stew that Teresa made! The following is a photo of the leftovers that I ate at work for lunch.

Mum's Thai Chicken Basil
Spicy Roasted Chicken with Vegetables
I roasted the chicken and carrots first, then threw in the corn. Just before it was all ready, I threw in the asparagus. Delicious!After dinner I drove over to Marissa's for coffee. As usual, she laid out a spread of cake and Mrs Pelle's scones. I couldn't resist!

After work I headed into Subiaco to purchase some goodies to take to Marissa's for lunch. Well, it was supposed to be lunch but it turned into dinner by the time we had everything ready. Just as well I scoffed some pasta at work earlier to tide me over!
Marissa was busy crumbing some sliced baby eggplant and diced chicken when I arrived.
Home made chicken nuggets!
I prepared a trio of dipping sauces:
Nando's peri peri sauce, sweet chilli sauce and Vietnamese dipping sauce.
I thought the fried eggplant tasted a bit like calamari!
Marissa also made a salad with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, orange segments and avocade with a thick balsamic glaze for dressing.
I brought some meats from the store in Subiaco for a charcuterie platter. The Spanish Serrano was divine! Much more sweeter and it had a softer texture than the Prosciutto. I also got some Hot Salami and Honey & Mustard Glazed Ham. Yum!
Oh dear! I just realised I forgot to take a photo of the cheeses! I bought a segment of the Jensens Red soft cheese that I've posted about before and Marissa loved it. 'Smelly Feet' cheese, she calls it. I also bought a French Baguette from Jean Claude's Patisserie, which Marissa cut up and we ate it with the cheese.
This was the first of two jugs of Pimms we had throughout the evening!
Our feast on the ottoman.
For dessert, we shared a little Brioche that I bought from Jean Claude's Patisserie in Subiaco. It was soooo good! It was filled with a deliciously creamy custard with small chunks of rhubarb with what we thought was Cognac or some sort of brandy.
After our feast, we lounged infront of the TV with a cup of flower tea. The tea 'flower's have been handwoven! Very pretty.
What a day. *rolls into bed*

This morning Marissa, Teresa and I went to dim sum.
DRAGON PALACE
66 Francis Street, Northbridge
Teresa and I had two servings of the tripe!
Chicken Feet
Rice Flour Rolls with Prawns
Rice Flour Rolls with Char Siew
Marissa didn't know what these buns were called so last time she took a photo of them on her phone and we were able to order them by showing one of the staff the photo. Isn't technology wonderful!?
They were some sort of baked buns with pork inside.
DINNER WITH THE PELLES
Teresa prepared some kidneys by washing them thoroughly
and seasoning them with Vegeta.
The kidneys and lamb chops were cooked on the mini charcoal BBQ.
The kidneys were delicious!
Fresh cucumber and tomato salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Marissa made the pasta sauce - I had two servings!

40 Masonmill Road, Carmel
Since we hit spring, I have been itching to go here to see the flowers that would be in bloom and enjoy the fresh - albeit pollen-ridden - air and sunshine.
I love that they incorporate rose petals into the ice blocks. The drink is so refreshing and so very very pretty to look at.
Served on a toasted English muffin and topped with
crisp baby spinach, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
Teresa had to wait about another ten minutes after ours were served and then she found that her eggs were undercooked. She sent it back and we were all disappointed to find that the kitchen simple microwaved the eggs and added more sauce over the top. Despite this, we still all enjoyed our breakfast. I think we were all too taken with the relaxing, warm atmosphere and gorgeous surroundings to really dwell on the bad points of the breakfast.
While we were waiting for our coffee and cake to arrive, I saw a creature dart across the ground. It came from inside the cafe, from where the kitchen is situated. My jaw dropped and I was literally speechless. All I could do was gape at the creature, incredulously, thinking it was a giant rat! The couple at the table beside me caught my stunned expression and looked themselves and were also quite surprised and caught off guard. The creature crawled around under our tables, nimbly searching out crumbs beneath the tables. When the waitress brought out our cake, I asked her what the creature was, still thinking it couldn't possibly be a giant rat. She told us it was a bandicoot. A bandicoot! I didn't know we had them in Australia!
OOoh the cakes were really good! We made sure to choose from the fresh arrivals we had seen the staff putting away when we got there.
It was a pity Marissa had to leave us to go to work but Teresa and I went to the Boatshed Markets in Cottesloe. I have heard of this place, in particular from radio advertisements, but never been. I was like a kid in a candy store the second we stepped foot into the place.
Foodie heaven.
I oohed and aahed my way through the store, stopping for an extra long moment in the cheese section to try all the free samples. The store is gorgeously vibrant but also very expensive. Perhaps I should frequent it more often in the hopes of meeting a wealthy single guy who loves to cook with fresh produce.
We picked up a basketful of things and headed home to put dinner together.
climaxed over in the store when I was gobbling up the free sample cubes.
I love the gorgeous, vibrant green colour of these olives.
It's a salty cheese and quite strong.
simple, rich tomato sauce and fresh pasta from the Boatshed Markets.
