Vinaigrette Versatility

Black Pearl Epicure has some new products they're distributing. We visited them yesterday and our job is to try these beautiful looking vinaigrettes from Pendleton fine foods. Our salads should be fabulous until we run out of this great stuff!

Meat Treat

Here's two nice boys - a butcher and chef. They're from Super Butcher and they put on a great night for the food bloggers' dinner.

Super Butcher hosted an unusual dinner for food bloggers last night - dinner in the back of their huge shop at Eagle Farm. Decorating our dining area were some huge sides of aged beef and we were treated to a butchering demonstration by one of the company's young butchers. Here's Andrew the proprietor of the company. He's a great speaker and the beef we tried was very tasty.

More Holiday Treats

Amy liked her present from Yamba - a bottle of tomato and red capsicum relish from Cunliffe Waters. We've tried lots of their products and what a coincidence - they were staying in the flat next to us at Seascape at Yamba. We had a few chats and they're lovely people.

We always stop at Macadamia Nut Castle to break up our long drive to Yamba. Here I am with a packet of hickory roasted and one of chocolate coated.

Another break in our trip to Yamba is at Utopia cafe at Bangalow. What a wonderful array of fresh and beautiful food. We had brunch - a roast beetroot salad and a serve of fishcakes.

Our view of Convent Beach from our balcony at Seascape Apartments at Yamba. David went swimming morning and evening but it was a bit cool for me. I liked the long walks!

Yamba Treats

treattrrackers have just had another lovely week's holiday in Yamba. We liked the new Italian restaurant. They have a wonderful wood-fired pizza oven and the pizzas taste great as does everything else we tried.

Our favourite breakfast and lunch cafe in Yamba is Beachwood. Here's the beautiful Sevtap. She cooks an amazing menu in her little kitchen and she just loves her work!
One morning David had the baked tomatoes.

We also made some of our own lunches at our flat. Here's a nice avocado on toast topped with some prawns. Yum!

Every morning at Beachwood, I would have the beautiful bircher muesli topped with nicely presented fresh fruit. Then I'd try some of David's scrambled eggs with feta and bacon. We'd swap so as he could have a healthy hit too.

Here's our view for a week - Convent Beach at Yamba. We saw dolphins and whales and so many birds.

Saturday Kick-Start

We had a cheery breakfast again at brother espresso on Riding Road.
Our favourite toast topper is the marinated vegetables and feta.

treattrackers latest recruit is Aaron. He likes to kick-start his Saturday with a straight black espresso and he loves the sonoma muesli with Greek yoghurt.

David likes another one of his fathers' day presents - his 'Ministry of Silly Walks' t-shirt.

Sunday Events

The gang came over for fathers' day dinner. David was very pleased with his pasta machine and egg records voucher. Yet to try out the machine, but we'll let you know how it goes!

We tried a friendly new place around the corner in Riding Road called 'our haus'. It is nicely set up and the coffee is great!

Pearl Saturday.

Amy and I liked the homemade baked beans with a beautiful cheesy toast with herbs. (Uh oh, the red-eye edit still looks a bit weird!)

Back at our old favourite cafe Pearl at Woolloongabba. Elizabeth had the apple muffin and Danielle loved the caramel cheesecake (for breakfast)! It was so crowded this morning with everyone out for the warmer weather.

Mark loved the french toast and strawberries and marscapone. Doesn't that look beautiful!

David had a poached duck egg with some gourmet sausage. Said it was lovely!
