The Hangover!

Good or Evil??? I'm still to decide!!

Firstly today Ill be talking about another drink starting with the letter C... this drink too has many wonderful qualities like its friend coffee . It helps to make you feel relaxed, confident and happy, it is used to toast the big celebrations in life and is generally  loved by everyone! But today I am seeing the Ugly side of that drink! Now to clarify,  I'm talking about Champagne and too much of it!
Today is probably  not the ideal day for me to write. My head is fuzzy, like its stuffed with cotton wool, my tummy is rumbling, I'm hungry but I'm not, I close my eyes and see stars and also a vision of myself dancing some Zumba moves in front of lots of people!!ugghh and I'm slowly going downhill .... the evil evil culprit of alcohol, now I wonder why I don't drink!!!  It was however  all in the name of a good cause to celebrate Catherine and Dave's wedding. It was an amazing celebration and the most fun I have had in a long time, I  was completely honoured to be there to share the joy and love, but the aftermath is never ever pretty! Suffice to say there will not be much coffee drunk today! Hangovers and caffeine don't mix for me! 



Gingerlee Soy Cappuccino



 Having said that though, when I felt less fuzzy and dehydrated and more spritely or maybe still a little tipsy this morning I did have a Soy mocha with my hangover cure (Eggs and Bacon at Le Chien).

The cure has not worked its magic and its a slow and steady decline!

Oh well Ill have to perk up now as I am taking Elisha out on an excursion to a coffee place I haven't tried and then I can't say no to coffee! Suck it up Jane..... Here goes.....



Elisha and I head over to our old stomping ground of Brunswick! So much has changed  in the years since I moved to the West. I always get reminiscent having spent 4 years living there in my twenty somethings! Ahh the memories! I do romantically wish I lived their now, the shops are better, there are dozens more cafes and the coffee and availability of good coffee in Brunswick has more than tripled.. Brunswick  covers at least 10% of my Melbourne Coffee Review List.



Passionfruit Cheesecake with Lemon Curd



Today we pulled over to a place on Lygon St  - Gingerlee.  Elisha and I had actually been there 2 years ago and I remembered it well.  We sat outside overlooking busy Lygon St and ordered our coffees. Mine was delicious!  Could not fault it, the only thing maybe was that the cup was a tad under full  but nothing too major there! I also had a wonderful little passion fruit cheesecake with lemon curd.... was the perfect  size so I didnt feel too guilty scoffing it down!

Ill be back to Brunswick...  very soon I hope , they know how to nail a good coffee, just hurry up car so I can get over there again!   

Until next time xxxx
