Today I wanted to try meatballs again. On advice from Mrs Pelle not to overhandle the meatballs, I very lightly shaped the mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, onion and beef mince into little balls and fried them up. The colour of the bread crumb mixture gave me a desire to one day make falafels. I would love to be able to recreate those delicious warm, fluffy falafels I had in Egypt.


For dinner, I went to Vincent, Victoria and Vernon's house as requested. They were taking me somewhere for my birthday as they had not been able to make it to my BBQ. I was unaware that it was also their mother's birthday so two birds with one stone! We went to the Adelphi Steak House in the city.

My first time there, I wouldn't mind going back again. Half the restaurant is a bar and the other half is for sit-down meals. The menu is simple yet it will definitely satisfy any steak craving you have. There is also a small salad buffet that you help yourself to. I had the Wagyu Steak. It was a little too rare for me but I still enjoyed it.


Back at home, I busied myself in the kitchen preparing some pasta dishes in preparation for work the next few days. I also made some soup.
