Anyone got any recommendations on places/things i should check out in Melbourne this weekend?

So far ive got Queen victoria markets, some factory outlet at docklands, and i wanna stop in St kilda and go to some cake shop/bakery things that i seen when i was last there in march. I'm only in the city really, for saturday and monday arvo.

the Casino is worth a look mate. even with anyone under 18 with you theres a heap in there to check out and just see how huge it is. Docklands is worth checking out also and the surrounding areas.

only other thing i can suggest is Skydeck at Eureka tower. great view from there on a good day. since you cant go on that ferris wheel there. because broken.

Mark was driving my car and then a box appeared in front of the car after a twat threw it. Mark avoided it with finesse. Like a sir.

typical Thursday night in Newcastle really, avoiding thrown projectiles. but having Brembo brakes helps in that situation

also, after driving your car, ive realised how much i hate my clutch. Dual Mass can get 'ed.

Those ferris wheel things are always broken, all over the world. I remember when Perth ordered one, or rented it or whatever, and it was the wrong size. Haha.

Docklands DFO is a good one, it's quieter than the rest.

In St.Kilda hit up; http://www.bestresta...fedistasio.aspx for awesome eats.

Adam, My Chillis are going pretty nuts right now

Spoiler

My little Cayenne Chilli, surprisingly at this size it has some buds on it! Should probably pick them off till it gets bigger but I am just going to see where it goes.


My little Trinidad Scorpian Butch T, this has claimed the title as the worlds hottest chilli should be epic


My Thai Birdseye Chilli plant is starting go nuts, flowers all over it, this is the first I have seen straighten out and start growing a chilli this year this is the only plant I have were the flowers point down, then when the time comes to push a chilli through they straighten up.


One of my Jalapeno plants, they are both like this


Habaneros, this thing probably has about 30 chillies on it, only about 5 this size though so far.



Cobra, Sri Lankan version of a ghost chilli - 'ing hot again, riddled with chillies

My sister works for Melb. city on events and general marketing, I'll hit her up and see if anything cool is happening over the weekend.

@Josh: I wonder if you could seal pack them and send some over? Customs? Not sure. I could make you a couple of bottles of Chilli Vodka from your very own Chilli's!

Brettovski! Good luck for the exam today, mate!!!

You'll nail it! You fuckin' love yeast infections!

mark, I would avoid St Kilda, filthy stinky 'ing horrible place. I can't stand it.

DFO South Warf is where I went last time, I didn't mind that place it is the one next to the exhibition centre.

that ones worked maybe 4 weeks of its entire life. the rest of its life has been spent being built, taken down, rebuilt. maybe one day it will work.

Also very sound advice. There's an awesome spot there called The Sharing House ( http://www.thesharinghouse.com.au/ ) which is great to have lunch after/before hitting up the DFO craziness.

From my sister re: top patisserie;

there's a place called il forneo next to The Prince Hotel which is delicious!

that ones worked maybe 4 weeks of its entire life. the rest of its life has been spent being built, taken down, rebuilt. maybe one day it will work.

The one in Perth was so small it just had no impact, well at least to me, you could walk up the Narrows Bridge for free and get the same bloody view.

Hmmmm interesting Idea Nikko!! hahaa, maybe you could market a few bottles of extra potent stuff for the die hard fan, Cobra Vodka.. You would chase that shit with lava to cool your mouth down.

Can you use dried chillies in the vodka? just wondering how fresh they would stay in the post even if they were sealed?

Obviously, you will be hitting up Lygon street right??? hahaha if you didn't have that on your agenda... put it there. Nik knows all the good eating and watering holes there.

, I'm jealous. I'd love to be going to Melbourne to eat all weekend. If you couldn't tell.

[B4TT]

1 month away for me

[skillionaire]

Yeah, definitely hit up Lygon if time permits. Brunetti's for baked goods, Dimmattina's is always awesome for lunch or dinner. King and Godfree Grocers is insane with their beer selection.

1 month away for me

How long are you going for?

Hey WA Nik,

I'm making strawberry liqueur, about 2.5 weeks ago I just chopped up half a punnet, put it in a jar, added sugar and Absolut Vodka, then a week later drained, strained put damp strawberries back in jar, added butt load of sugar (Sugar pulls out the alcohol sucked up by the fruit). Put drained alcohol in bottle in liquor cabinet. Then strained strawberries a week later, added alcohol to bottle, put strawberries back in jar and added more sugar.....

This sound about right? Got the recipe/method off some drunkmansguide.com thing. Only using a small amount of strawberries and vodka because making liqueur virgin.

Cheers,
Nick
