the Art and Classes

I've been so busy lately.. (but mainly lazy) to blog or finish blogging, not to mention this horrible writing block i've had since i stopped working on my erotic stories... (which isnt related to the fact that 50 shades of gray became popular.. i just happened to be inspired by many other things at the same time)
But i have been avoiding my computer lately because there's too much work to be done..
and the more it piles up, the more i avoid it..

I had such a busy week last week, i tried to spend time with a lot of people before i started work again, and even tho i only work about 3-4 shifts a week, i feel as though my time has completely cut down.. but i guess thats what happens when you stop working for a month.. now i have to plan ahead!!! i hate that..

Last week i was able to see Lana before she started school again, we went shopping and i'll post up some photos in my next entry, i was able to see 'Vander' preform and win at their semi-finals at Campbelltown RSL. i got to see Hairly and make some cookies together for her step-dads funeral, And i was able to go to a long awaited cooking class with Andrea.

We had a cooking class that we got off one of those offer websites to cook at Mumu grill
The offer included making 4 desserts and a voucher for a free main meal.. although i feel as though we were a little misguided.. 
because on the offer website it said we get a $50 voucher to spend at the main restaurant.. but the voucher we got was for a main meal, which was around $35-40.. 
And that the online menu was a little different from what we were suppose to be cooking.

But it wasnt bad.. just, it wasnt what we bought.
Chocolate and Rosemary bread pudding served with vanilla ice cream
this was a little bit dull for my liking, the second bread pudding I've tried, but it just tasted like toast with chocolate.
Passion fruit cheesecake with a kiwi, pineapple fruit salad infused with mint and chilli
This was so good, it had different tastes and textures.. and it was just so simple too.
Strawberry Cafloutis and Dates&Pistachio Cafloutis
This was a little dull too, but it was nice to see the dramatic differences in taste from the different filling? fruit/nuts we used.
Baked Rhubarb mess
This was also a little disappointing, it was however the first time i tried rhubarb.. it just tasted like sweeten celery to me. there would be a lot of changed i would make to this dish if i were going to make it at home..

But i guess thats the main purpose of the menu items, to make it simple that you can alter it to your own liking.

Overall, the experience was lovely. we were able to meet new people, cook, learn and try new things.. and i was able to get to know Andrea better, which was awesome :)
the chef that taught us, Craig Macindoe
And the restaurant itself!
its a very classy organic steakhouse.
SALTBUSH LAMB SHOULDER - Slow roast (10 hours), goat cheese tortilla With roast eggplant and watercress salad with a Tahini dressing.
I LOVED this dish.. everything complimented each other well and the salad was amazing =D
VICTORIAN BEEF FILLET - Wrapped in sage & proscuitto, café de Paris butter and served on mashed Pontiac potato.
This was a little disappointing, the steak was a little dry and plain..


During the week too, i was able to draw another picture.
I recently read somewhere that it was stupid to admire a women who had so many problems, a women who used drugs, fooled around with married men and had mental health problems. a women that was completely different from how perfect her image was.

But i think that is also why i admire her even more.

It just reminds me that nobody is perfect

i found my old artworks too. Notice the big difference..
The first picture was when i was in year 8? and the second picture was from when i was 8
 my hoarding.. Years if teen magazines i kept for no good reason
 i had an urge to clean up my other room the other day.. mainly to try to find a drawing i had.. i never did find it.. but i didn find my old artworks though
 this i did during year 12? i think, but i never finished it.
 This was screen print samples i did for tafe, it was so hard to draw backwards..
 These was from graphic design
 Above was from a one day airbrushing coarse i did
 This was when i got my first webcam or something.. LOL
 Drawings i did during classes when i should have been doing my year 12 work

And i was also able to see Ajay and Lana too!! i miss them so much :( and it was soooo nice to catch up with them with only just the 3 of us..
 Took my dog for a walk :P


i cant be bothered editing my words, so dont mind all the jibber jabber..
