lust have...

whilst doing the rounds of my favourite blogs (in particular www.theyallhateus.com) I came across some outfit inspiration and a handbag wish list.  

one of these two bags really should be mine, the hardest part here is choosing between the two.

adopt a pet...

christmas has been and gone for another year and now the dust has settled, it's a good time to help out the RSPCA. there are plenty of ways to help including small donations and more significantly,(and fun) adopting a pet.  

each week i'm going to post details about a pet (in various locations) available for adoption to give them the best chance of finding a new family. 

this week it's paddy... he's five and looking for a gentle loving household with at least a five foot fence to prevent an escape.  


for more information on paddy and his location hit the following link http://www.adoptapet.com.au/animal/animalDetails.asp?animalid=170373&result=1&statusID=3

smolt... you must visit


nestled in salamanca’s  dining precinct is a restaurant that must be experienced.  smolt offers tasteful and comfortable surroundings, great service and a menu that will leave you feeling well and truly satisfied.

perfectly portioned servings make smolt an establishment suitable for ordering a meal for yourself or in our case a variety of dishes and a share plate dining experience. 
this included saffron & fennel risotto with seared local scallops, pecorino & oregano;
snow peas with macadamia nut butter, pumpkin seeds & red wine onions; and 
as if that wasn’t enough our festive gluttonous ways were revealed when we completed our meal with baked chocolate mousse tart with vanilla chai ice cream, pistachio praline & red wine caramel… delicious indeed. 
as with any dining experience the service is key and smolt certainly rose to the occasion, we were well looked after by staff who were both professional, friendly and more than happy to oblige with insightful menu suggestions.

in a location that has no shortage of fine and casual dining options, smolt is well worth the visit, delivering on menu, wine list and service.
