I'll add that to my "To Do List"

It's amazing how many times I hear myself say "I'll add that to my "To Do List"". Usually 3 days later I have no idea what I thought would be so interesting. Items/events sound so appealing at the time - they are all filed away with the cob webs of my memory... Therefore. I'm adding to my "To Do List" here.

For the future - besides comeing up with a new "get rich quick scheme". I don't want to give away too much just when I'm 35

Catalina was a disappointment but that was a few ywars ago.

Balzac is bliss; can't go wrong with food, service, ambience.

Beppis is inimitable. I feel like I'm in Italy.

Try Assiette; their degstation menu is once a month on a Sunday. Great choice, good pacing, perfect sized servings, service, atmosphere... I've been there twice recently and there was nothing to fault (and you've guessed it, I'm a foodie.)

Thank you for your contribution. Assiette has been added to my list.

Balzac unfortunately wasn't great last time we were there (Oct 05). Not the two hat experience it was the first time.

Cool Post...How I miss the city lights and Eastern Suburbs Leagues (Pool and Gym) after being at Maroubra beach in the arvo and having a few quite drinks at the Coogee Bay Hotel. I miss the city - sometimes
PS: A horse called 'Mirror Mirror' was scratched from the Golden Slipper, for this weekend (any connections? - Any tips??? LOL)

Coogee Bay Hotel on a Sunday afternoon is one of my fav's.

My ultimate night out is walking up to my local (The Robin Hood) ordering a $5 steak (now $6, but the sauce is now included) sharing a bottle of red watching Friday night footy (Roosters games of course).

Poor horsey 'mirror mirror' being scratched, i'm no real punter - a flutter on Melbourne Cup and Australia Day, that has become a tradition with a few of the girls. Ask me about fashions on the field and I could help you out ;-)
