Looking forward to a bit of this action at Jasbelle Restaurant and Lounge on Sunday evening to ring in the “Year of the Dragon”. I am personally a “Rabbit” but I support the St. George-Illawarra Dragons, so it’s all good!

Sorry for those expecting a deep and meaningful post. This is more a random thought and funny observation to be honest. People search for some funny stuff and here is a sample of the terms that led to my site in the past day.

  • male feline urinary system
  • unique birds
  • worm farm images
  • australian gardens
  • chai plant
  • kitchen
  • tropical australian flowers
  • wormfarm removing maggots
  • worm farm creatures
  • starbucks loyalty card
  • can i place blow fly maggots in a worm farm

I am a little concerned about that last one. I mean why would you?

That said it seems a lot of people are still interested in vermiculture. I better resurrect my kit!

Restaurant Review – 2 – Zen X Teppanyaki/Sushi Bar

Today we went for an spur of the moment lunch in Shellharbour Village. Knowing that Jasbelle was shut we decided to look at the other fare on offer. After a brief perusal we decided to try Zen X Teppanyaki/Sushi Bar. After viewing the menu I was looking forward to a nice bento box, but alas it was not to be.

The reason it did not happen was that after 10 minutes of waiting patiently we were not served. In fact the only sign of life was the feet of one of the kitchen hands behind the curtain to the kitchen. So we went down the road to the Ocean Beach Hotel instead.

I have not totally given up on Zen X, but this experience was extremely disappointing. Perhaps we will go for teppanyaki one evening.

This experience does constitute a black mark for Zen X.

We are having a pickled pork dish tonight. It’s a bit of old school wholesome cooking. Mum though requested a cabbage for accompaniment. What Bobbie picked up is a behemoth! We will be farting well for days to come.

The tweet led me to Eliminate the gay panic defence from Queensland law #gaypanic. This legal loophole essentially allows criminals to plead that they acted irrationally due to gay panic. It is a homophobic discriminatory law. It just needs to go and I ask that you sign the following petition.
