FRIDAY YEH!

I don't know if you remember, but I recently blogged about the ELEVEN Australia products, the weekend before last I dragged the boyfriend out to dinner at Sho Noodle bar in Crown - This is one of my favorites the food is so so good. 

I was having a bad hair day and my hair was doing its own thing, I straightened it before dinner, sprayed some hair styling spray on and wallah it was straight, styled and looked decent ha. If you want a good hairspray check out this one.

Sho goodness.
The other good thing about Sho, the prices aren't ridiculous.  

The boyfriend and I for the past couple of weekends have been going to see the bombers play - Those boys in real life and so beautiful ha! Thankfully we have been on a winning streak, however I think tonight game against the hawks will change all of that!

In usual style I wear my bombers scarf, I think I'm just addicted to scarfs in general. but hey I do live in Melbourne right!? I did a haul from ASOS which I hope arrives in the next couple of days. I'll be sure to blog about those goodies when they arrive.

The boyfriend and I took Thursday and Friday off work and hit the road to go and visit his grandparents and family. We always fly so hitting the road and about an hour later realizing just how long the trip is so we were soon wishing we didn't drive ha! The weather in Melbourne was amazing it was that sunny 21 degree winter day but about an hour into the trip it was pouring rain, freezing cold and my little swift was almost getting blown off the road

 4 seasons in one day. Yep.
The boyfriends parents are in the middle of renovating one half of their house so things where a little crazy, but on Friday went went to bunnings to help finialise some colours and pick a new door.
I am like a kid in a candy store at Bunnings.

This got me in the mood for renovating haha - Not ideal when you're renting.
We arrived on Thursday and left on Sunday so we had an extra couple of days which was good, but we just spent it visiting his family and then on Sunday we had the token farewell dinner cooked by yiayia.

We had my favourite spanakopita that's all I wanted until everything else was brought out haha food overload I don't think anyone in a wog family would ever starve. I love it!

God, this is making me hungry now just re-writing this ha.
After lunch in true yiayia style she tried to give us boxes of fresh fruit to take back to Melbourne, 4 or 5 oranges is what we told her next minute we had a box full. haha

The Grandparents.

Last night I was wondering around coles trying to think of something warm and interesting to make for dinner, my eyes lit up at the sight of cherries! I love love love love cherries there is nothing better.
Too bad they are $8 per KG but in my basket they went.

What are your favorite winter foods?

EASTER 2o13

I love yoghurt and even tho I can't eat too much of it, I'll always make room especially for fresh yoghurt. Downstairs to where I work they recently opened The Yoghurt Club and this stuff is the bomb. You can either go in there and order a smoothie (either dairy or non dairy based) or there is the option to have fresh (almost like soft serve ice-cream) yoghurtand you have a selction of fresh fruit or if you have a sweet tooth lollies to put on top.

 

 

Mine was a total of $3.50 I think thats cheap and perfect for a 3pm snack.

 

We left for our easter holidays on Wednesday so Tuesday night after work I went on the hunt for a perfect sized travel bag my dreams where crushed as I went from store to store trying to find something suitable but nothing surfaced. I left and headed down to the road to MYER and stocked up on some MAC foundation and CK Euphoria perfume.

 

 

Our flight was at 10am on Wednesday - I always have a brief moment of panic thinking that the taxi wont arrive then I'll be late and we wont get the plane. Does this ever happen to you?

 

 

Does anyone else get freaked out by these hand dyers at the airport? I always feel like my rings are going to go flying off somewhere! Best invention for hygiene tho.

 

I posted this photo of Instagram while away, saying you know your in with your boyfriends mum when she lets you cook in her kitchen. I love cooking in D's mums kitchen its recently been renovated and this woman knows the true understanding of organisation. Draws and spaces for everything, "every day use" "special occasion cutlery" "semi special occasion cutlery" hahaha.

 

 

I made a lasanga and it got good reviews all around - Maybe I will make a good wife one day.

 

Speaking of food in true Greek style we had a big family get together on Saturday night featuring a lamb on the spit. Mouth watering goodness.

 

 

I tell you what - My greek family never dissapoints.

The weather turned freezing while we where there which forced me to bring out jumpers, coats and jeans..Not that I'm complaining I love that type of weather.

 

 

All in all it was so good to see all the 101 family members, although its not easter for us until May 5th it was still good to catch up, eat and celebrate and get away from the city for a week or so.

 

 

As you can tell there was way too much chocolate, olives, feta and other goodies.

Both of D's yiayia's are amazing cooks and never take no for an answer by the time we had finished eating I was felt like I was going to pop. I could of almost done my own April fools joke by posting a picture of my belly on FB and telling everyone I was pregnate I was that full.

 

Best part of all yesterday morning before we left to head to the airport his yiayia came over and brought my all time favourite spanakopita. If you dont know what that is its a greek dish - pastry filled with spinach (or silver beat) mixed with cheese and herbs.

 

It wasnt all fun and games, the first two days of our holidays the boyfriend was still recovering from his cold I think he is the most affectionate when he is sick. So lucky me caught his cold which I had actually managed to fight off before heading away on holidays.

Let me tell you flying with a cold is not fun. I'm not sure if we where flying higher than normal but about 20 minutes into our flight my ear started stinging and then the pain got more and more intense, the boyfriend suggested I start trying to "pop" my ears by holding my nose and blowing.. I kept sticking my finger in my ear but nothing would help I ended up asking the flight attendant on suggestions and she gave me a cup of ice to suck on (?) I later read on google (my virtual Dr) that you shouldnt fly any type of cold or flu! My ear is still pretty sore so I'm hoping it will sort itself out.

This is what we arrived home to.. Typical Melbourne.
I hope everyone had a great easter and cant wait to catch up on whats been blogging while i've been away on holidays.
