Last night the kids and I headed to Fran-ghanistan for our first annual 'Melbourne Uncup Day Before' dinner party. What an awesome evening - the weather was perfect! C and I dressed up.
Baby and YM
Tweenie and C & A's beautiful vegan bubba, O.
We all cooked some food and we had a really nice spread - with enough to feed us brunch the next day!
Onion Bhaji's from this recipe - baked not fried
Chai-spiced biscuits from The Vegan Table
C's couscous roasted vegetable medley
C's potatoes
I also provided pumpkin coconut curry and aloo gobi both from The Vegan Table.
A & C -Thanks for a GREAT night!
The next day R returned as our breakfast chef as she was having NO luck trying to cook some potato fritters for dinner. But it was perfect the next day!
R is new to vegetarianism - after A showed her "Earthlings" (I actually have never seen this!)
Baby had a ball with Eddie the dog (sitting on C's dad's knee). Poor thing was 'played' with all night and the next day! I'm guessing she wants a dog!
Had a fantastic day, but woke up this morning with massive sinus pain on the left side of my face. It was years ago since I had this pain and it sucks! Hopefully it goes away soon as I really don't want to visit the Doctor.

it was great meeting you and baby at the convent. this looks like a great night. i am a recurrent sufferer of sinus pain (thanks Dad!) so i can sympathise
OMG my sinus was horrendous last night. But I think I have found something that works for me! I had a hot flannel on my left side of my face but as you can imagine it got cold rather quickly. So I heated my wheat bag, wrapped the wet flannel around it and laid it on my face. I still have it this morning but no where near as bad as last night!
That flannel/wheat bag idea for sinus pain sounds good to me, I'll try it next time.
And what a great idea to have an Un-Melbourne Cup day! I've heard people are planning a bike ride or a cupcake day for next year.
Hi Tahn,
thanks for dropping by and commenting on my blog. ;)
All the food looks delicious - I am kicking myself because I saw The Vegan Table at the bookstore the other day and now I wish I had gotten it!
Hope you are feeling better.
Hi Annie,
I'm feeling heaps better. Thanks :)
The Vegan Table is my favourite cookbook at the moment (if you don't count looking at other people's blogs and 'copying' them or using the internet for ideas in general!)
