We probably need to start a Goodreads Steemit group! I actually stopped reading for a while but seeing that last competition made me want to curl up in bed with a nice book in hand :) I keep missing these book related challenges and was wondering what @rarebooksleuth might have been reading :p
I couldn't decide between what I would have if it was my last meal... something that was pleasantly surprisingly and different or something that I could eat everyday... so I put them both here:
The lobster omelette that I once had at Tea House at Chinatown (I can not find a photo, but someone agrees with me just how good it is):

And the humble corn on the cob (with a bit of butter):

Not that I would drink something like this with the meal, but having to scull a tall glass of Hendricks was not as unpleasant an experience as I expected so that sounds like a pretty good way to dull the senses for what has to follow after the meal :D
Hey plushzilla!
Lobster omelette. Sounds like it shouldn't work, but there are now two people! Maybe I should try it, but Melbourne is a touch far at the moment.
Gin, so many people like it.. Why?
I only mentioned the restaurant in Melbourne because the way they made the omelette was so fluffy and light that I didn't think I was eating one! But maybe it is not for everyone and even I only stumbled upon it randomly (as you do in Melbourne).
I can't say that I like alcohol much at all because I am sensitive to the taste (after having my head stuck in a fume hood for years and sniffing so much ethanol you would think it would be the opposite), but for some reason Hendricks in a tall glass with mint and cucumber goes down without me even noticing it... maybe that's what happens when you scull alcohol? It certainly doesn't feel quite as smooth when I have had to drink other types of alcohol quickly :p
Next time I'm in Melbourne! Maybe next year... For some reason, I have the complete opposite reaction to gun, it makes me nauseous!
