Seafood, Glorious Seafood

Filed Under:

Crayfish, whitebait, mussells, clams, blah blah - what else could a man ask for?

Just did a round-trip to Kaikoura where we got 5 crayfishes & 200gm of whitebait - yum yum. Just consumed 2 of them tonight. Mumsy is down & she made whitebait fritters (a NZ tradition!) and also cooked the crayfish in a special cream sauce - it was divine. When we were in Kaikoura we went to a restaurant called Pipi's & had an award-winning seafood chowder (it won best food item at the Kaikoura Seafest), and I definitely concur that it was a vundabar spread. Also had a pot of steamed mussels/clams/pipis - pure heaven.
We bought our crayfish from a place called Nin's Bin - about 20mins north of Kaikoura. Not bad quality crayfish & also averagely priced. All-in-all a day all seafood lovers (including myself) will not want to forget.

Karaoke Anyone?

Filed Under:

Entertaining for hours and hours and hours.

Just got back from a barbi with friends and there I found the most enjoyable, fun device I have ever seen in my whole life. It was a PS2 game that basically is karaoke but it also tests you to see if you are singing in tune. You can go head-to-head with a friend and whoever is the most in tune wins. For someone like myself who has a passion for singing this game was heaven!

The Bestest Drink in the Whole Wide World

Filed Under:

Well on a par with coffee anyway.

I just bought a bottle (500ml) of Ribena concentrate last night and reminded myself how much I love this drink. According to the label, 100% of the blackcurrant berries that are used in New Zealand Ribena are from the South Island - good on ya southies :) I think I was pretty much weaned on the stuff when I was a baby (according to Mumsy), which probably explains my attachment to it now. Funnily enough, though, I found an alternative brand of Blackcurrant juice called Barkers which I actually like more than Ribena & it is a southern company too.
Anyways, there are many ways to have blackcurrant juice, but my favourite is hot. You should try it some time!

That movie was word!

Filed Under:

The movie 'Shark Tale' had a real homie, hip-hop flavour to it.

Went and watched Shark Tale tonight with some friends and I really enjoyed it.
It seemed like the film directors wanted to give it a real homeboy-type flavour to the movie, and for that reason Will Smith was cast well as the main character - Oscar. I'd give it a 8/10 for viewing pleasure and it did put a 'smile on my dial'.
Also, I've just put a photo album on this website with some picies of our Chihuahua puppy - Chocolat. Check it out and be jealous :)
