Frozen treats are where it’s at

10 Jan

One of the great things about coming back to live in a city that you left four years ago is discovering all of the little things that have changed about it – especially when they’ve changed for the better.

My local haunt area is Glenelg - home of the tram line, the Beachouse and other such horrid tourist traps, and now, also home of a fabulous frozen yoghurt shop called Fruizberry! Having taken over the premises of a well known ice-cream chain with a not overly popular girl’s name, Fruizberry is oh so much cooler with it’s self serve flavours and toppings, price-by-weight style of selling, and cups bigger than your head!

I went a little crazy and chose to squeeze out three of the twelve-or-more flavours available, and I must say that mango, green tea, and chocolate go surprisingly well together. However, the flavour that really shizzled mah nizzle was lamington. I kid you not, it was exactly like having a slippery, smooth, and pleasantly cold lamington in your mouth.

So, Fruizberry date anyone?

Final fancy-pants dinner in Albury(ish)

14 Dec

On Sunday I went out for my final fancy-pants dinner in the Albury region.

I am a huge fan of food, and I have loved discovering the great places to eat around Albury-Wodonga – there are definitely a few places I will miss. Tuileries, where I went on Sunday, serves up a divine menu of fine foods and whilst it’s not a place I could afford to frequent, I do wish I’d discovered it a little earlier on in my stay in this area.

Entree – South Australian king prawns with bloody mary jelly and an almond crunch.

Main – eight hour Persian lamb shoulder served with rhubarb, mixed grain salad, and pomegranate yoghurt

Dessert – Peanut butter parfait on a rich brownie, with caramel and frozen chocolate powder

One of the other features of the evening, which I loved, was the option of drinking from their wine bar – for a completely un-shocking price you can choose to have access to a good selection of white and red wines, available for your self service, which you can help yourself to throughout the evening. Noice.

8 Dec

This afternoon was my last chance to experience Albury’s Twilight Markets, so Missy Issy and I ventured out after work and, after a very sunny walk around the stalls, we settled onto a shady park bench to enjoy the real reason we were there… some mouthwateringly delicious crepes!
