Bitchin' Paella

I started off the big thirtieth celebration weekend heading off with Chopper to pick up Ms. B, who had just participated in a spray on tan. Your Seppo had an appointment as well, but when I was told I would have to wear a disposable g-string and be sprayed down by an attractive young girl, I retracted. There were several fears in my mind (use your imagination) and I thought I would save it for the summer sun. We headed off to pick up my ladies from Melbourne, who were staying for the weekend and headed to pick up the goods for Seppo's Famous Paella (see recipe tomorrow). Once the wine started flowing, I started cooking... and as per usual, after playing with tunes, chatting and getting a bit tipsy, I didn't get the dinner out until about 11pm. Since Chopper got picked up at 10:30, the poor fella didn't even get any dinner. Some host!




Saturday Night's alright

Headed off to Dov in Darlinghurst for Brunch, me with my traditional Croque Madame and side of Sausage and the ladies trying some of the other delectables on Konky's menu. I also thought I deserved a piece of Caramel and Macadamian nut pie for some reason. I was still feeling a bit hazy from the red wine and late night Paella, so I decided to have a bit of a lie down while the girls went shopping.

Ms Highco was nice enough to make us Lasagna at her place (with homemade noodles and everything), and from there we all headed off to the Pagewood. Everyone was a bit apprehensive at first, but once my guests started pouring in and the Karaoke got flowin' it turned into a right ol' celebration:



In a Karaoke Sort of Mood... Mrs. CCF Go Crazy!

Me, sweaty, red and liquored up, with my ladies...

Piano Man... Ha!

Thanks to everyone for making my thirtieth one of the best nights of my life. I can't believe how much of a privilege it is to be able to come to another country, and meet so many wonderful people. Also thanks for all the pressies!
