Weekend Herb Blogging

Wow look, I got accepted with my peppercorn entry for this week on Weekend Herb Blogging. I am very excited about it. I need to read all the other entries for this Weekend Herb Blogging event and learn some more. Obviously I have to try for next weeks show. No rest for me, even if I had time to. Enjoy the round up over at Astrids foodblog.paulchens.org

Lunch at The Marsden Tavern

Another facelift. This time at the Marsden Tavern.

Monday lunchtime Monika and I were out shopping, and as you know you should not shop on an empty Tummy. We had just come out of one shop when we both had the urge to eat, the question is where. Yeppoon has many places that offer lunch, some of which I have yet to sample and some that I probably wont sample, but after hearing from a number of people about the new Tavern Menu & food, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

Peppercorns, black, white, green, red..

After finding some very good food blogs out there today, which put mine to shame I must add, especialy those which are posting on the topic  Weekend Herb Blogging. It is now in it’s 87th week and growing. 

This week it will be hosted by Astrid from Paulchen’s Food Blog. I might be a bit of a late joiner but I guess thats the fun of the Internet. Anyway without dribbling too much lets get down to business.

Peppercorns, black, white, green, red and two cases of pink!!

Waterline Cafe Lunch Review

What a glorious Sunday in Yeppoon. Met up with some friends and after having tea in there newly finished house, which is absolutely awesome with views to die for, we decided to go out for lunch. So this will become my first dining review.

Hells Kitchen, reality tv show

Hells Kitchen the tv reality show….For those of you whom are not at all familier with Hells Kitchen or haven’t heard of Gordon Ramsay, I will explain.
 

This is a reality tv show which established itself in the UK back in 2004. Although it was short lived in the UK, it is now in it’s third season airing in the US on FOX tv. Gordon Ramsay, the host of the original show and now into his third season in the US is a world famous chef. He has many restaurants to his name, a selection of cook books, as well as other television shows with numerous morning & today show apearences. You still haven’t heard of him, what, do you live under a rock!

Amuse bouche, Amuse-gueule, Appetizer..

Amuse bouche, amuse-gueule, appetizer, call it what you want. The question is do we really need to offer these little bite sized morsels of food at the beginning of a meal or is it overrated?

Firstly let us explain what an amuse bouche, amuse-gueule is.

An amuse bouche or amuse-gueule translated from the French word that means amusement for the mouth or gob, to use the slang word. In the restaurant world these beautifully created tiny plates of samplings are presented to the diner before they actually get to order from the menu. It is an offer from the chef and supposed to stimulate the taste buds.

ViagraOysters on The Menu

ViagraOysters…..Hard up Down under….

Well this could be a possiblity in the future, since a group of Australians have created ViagraOysters. 59 year old marketing executive George May came up with the idea of feeding Viagra to oysters after he underwent surgery for prostate cancer, a common side effect of which is impotence.
His doctor suggested taking a small dose of Viagra to help.

Mr. May crushed the tablets and sprinkled them on his oysters, (will we see an explosion of natural oysters being ordered in the restaurant I wonder!!) hoping the combination would in some way add some zest to the event & help speedup his return to normality. Hence the birth of ViagraOysters.
