What a day!

WOW! What a day! Started off the day by walking to Victoria's Basement to do a little kitchen shopping with hubby. Bought some great stuff! I think I can say for everyone that when you go shopping for kitchen utensils and products, you just have that nagging feeling that you want to redecorate your kitchen and just buy everything! Well that was what I felt when I went into the shop. I just saw everything I thought I needed. But good thing hubby was there and not just me alone....hehe. I would have bought the whole store!

So we did a walk through and hubby being the sensible guy, he kept asking do we really need this, do we really need that and true enough, we really didn't! So we ended up getting stuff we actually needed like spatulas, containers, a loaf pan, garlic crusher, measuring cup and a small bake ware. So here's an advice to everyone.

• Figure out what you actually need and would actually use when you're cooking in the kitchen
• When you know what you want, always look for packages. Its cheaper and you can get more than if you buy separately.
• Always try to look for 2 or more in 1 products.
• Restrain yourself from buying big bulky products if you have a small kitchen because you can buy another product that serves the same purpose at half the size. Saves you space to store them!
• When in doubt, don't compulsively buy, but try to do your research on the products you want. You might find it elsewhere with a cheaper price!

We found a box of containers and it was cheap. So we stopped and had a look and saw that its airtight containers! Ooooo....interesting. Now how do I do this? The containers are here, wheres the pump? Oh there it is. Lets try. Pump Pump Pump Pump....hunni, this looks very rude...and a kid walks by with his mum. Ooopppsss.....not something you want to do while your back is facing people or in front of your kids! DEFINITELY not in front of your friends who are dirty minded! LOL......

So once we were done, we walked back home. FYI, we thought it would be easy, but carrying big bulky stuff back home is NOT easy! Especially when you have to walk uphill! Phew...we made it home. Hubby and I just couldn't wait to open up our goodies. So we sat down, took a breather and ripped into our new kitchen addition. It was satisfying knowing we bought everything we needed!

We had to rush to the bank to pick up my new debit card and walking in the bank, I smelled something pastry like and it smelled delicious and mouth watering. Mind you, hubby and I haven't had anything to eat. Once we were done, we walked out and true enough, there was a bakery next to the bank. Yuuummmm! Oh well, we went to Mexican takeaway and had a snack. We didn't want to fill ourselves too much as we had dinner later.

It was THE dinner hubby and I have been waiting for. Its this Lebanese restaurant our friend has been raving about. It would be quite a drive but she and her fiance said it was worth it. After Mexican, my sinus started acting up real bad so we had to make a short stop to the chemist to get some sinus medicine. Off back home and I popped 2 pills. It did help but made me sleepy. Oh oh...not good!

Oh well...as soon as my head hit the couch....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Before I knew it, I had to get up and get ready. My sinus was better and I was ready to hit the Lebanese challenge! It was quite a drive and by the time we got there, my tummy was a-rumbling! So was hubby! I have to say, it was worth the trip and cheap! I would DEFINITELY recommend Jasmin's in Punchbowl, NSW. Yes, yes it is quite a drive but I wouldn't say its worth it but if it's not worth it! Especially when you are accompanied by great friends!

As usual, after dinner, we had to have something sweet so off we go to Abla's, Granville. Hmmm....never tried Lebanese dessert before.YYYUUUMMMMM!!!!!! Back home now and snuggled a bit with hubby and our loving cat, Moe before I thought, you know what, I need to blog about this day. It was a sunny autumn day and we had such a GREAT day! I will end this blog with a word of advice, be sensible when shopping because you will end up with stuff you KNOW you will use and enjoy, enjoy food no matter how far it would be, always surround yourself with great, positive, fun friends and always love, love, LOVE those around you for no matter what happens in your life, they are the ones who will be there for you!

Have to go! Time for more snugglies with hubby and Moe. Sighhhhh.........
