Weekends rule.
Clayton is cooking Sunday night shanks for us all. He has been talking about having shank-offs this winter, where we all have a turn at it. Looks like he'll set a high precedence - he started in on his last night, so they'll be absolutely falling off the bone by now. Apparently he's used a Jamie Olliver recipe, but tweaked it up again. From MY recipe book, mind you! He's stolen my resources..... how am I going to win now??? Actually, I stand no hope in hell 0f winning the shank-off given the quality of Reidun and Clayton's cooking. Paul is a dark-horse - he's the artistic type, so he may pull one out of the bag.

To try to win a long-standing debate, Ben forced me into watching some Buffy on DVD. It is acknowledged that even if I enjoy watching it, I will never admit defeat and say it's 'good' TV.
You hear that, Richard!

We won a pub quiz last night, fundraising for some netball club. It was a hollow victory though - l0ts of answers bought from one of the hostesses (it's all about your connections). But at the end of the day we got the $100 bar tab. That made for some nice Bailleys to cap off the night. Fishy, Sammy, Richy, Kirsten and others were all in attendance.

We've now got SKY TV in my flat. I just watched some antiques show for a while. Joy! My guilty pleasure, Paradise City, was on E! but some of Clayton's cool friends came around, so I thought I'd better switch it onto something more sophisticated..... Damn them......

Brooklyn Bakery = Yummy
Me and Ange had a debriefing lunch there today. I had a chili, lime and chicken filo that was fairly tasty and she had a chicken, cranberry and Camembert stack that is now her second favourite dish there (after the white wine chicken filo). Also, my chocolate cake was moist and delicious. I very rarely get chocolate cake, but I'm glad I did this time.
