Out for lunch..
With all the great places to eat here on the Sunshine Coast its often hard to decide exactly where you would like to go, yesterday we all went to the Japanese resturant for lunch. I picked up Ma and Pa and Vince met us there.
We had the lunchbox special,

The container that lunch arrived in was so cute, made perhaps from bamboo it had lots of divided sections in which there were small amounts of tempting delicacies, each in its own gorgeous bowl. Vegetables, a huge prawn and a melt in your mouth piece of fish done in tempura, sizzled beef in a wonderful sauce, two types of raw fish (not my favourite), aubergine or eggplant as it is called here which had been marinated in the most wonderful sweet sticky sauce...yummy... a bowl of rice and a cup of delicious aromatic green tea that was served in the sweetest cups.
My Dad could not wait to get started!

Vince was also keen to practice his chop stick skills!

The four of us decided we should get together for lunch maybe once a month, the rules being that we have to try somewhere different each time and that it should be within walking distance of where Vince works...hmm...roll on next month!
Where or what is your favourite place to eat?

Hey Lynette! Wow! What a feast! This will sound a bit hokie, but my favourite place to eat is at my mother's dining room table! Not only does she make the yummiest silverside with white sauce and fresh veges with lemon delicious pudding for desert, some of the most entertaining, fun, laughter-filled times growing up were around the dinner table - I still miss it!

Hmmmm.... My favorite place to eat is at a diner in New Jersey. But as I'm not in New Jersey it's no longer an option. Bummer! :-)

Lynette
I love chinese food.. I used to go out (kids / DH permitting) with a group of girlies each month somewhere different, each person got to pick the next place.. but it had to be on a budget (some oldies were on pensions), deal was had to cost no more than $20.. found some ripper deals out there!
take care

Well, I'm relieved to hear that raw fish isn't your favorite LOL. Ick! My favorite place to eat coincidentally happens to also be a little Japanese place in our little town. I love teriyaki! Your lunch looks yummy -- well, except, you know, for that raw fish and well...the eggplant too!

Hello Lynette. Love your site -I've recently discovered you and already made your two Noah's Ark blocks - just the right size! I'm fascinated by your punchneedle designs, I've never heard of it before. Could you perhaps point me towards an instructional site - if you have the time. Thanks.

Looks delicious Lynette! My favourite place to eat is called Puck and the other is Pip (Place in Puck). Puck serves what we call fusion food, the best of all kitchens around the world and Pip has all Asian-like food. Tomorrow is our anniversary and we will have dinner at Puck.
