Miss Batterham Bendigo for Treasure Tuesday

 




Cold winter in Bendigo increases my appetite

The place offers tasting menu less than 500 metres from where I live. A french set for 75 AUD. Not bad. It comes with free house Redwine pinot

Linking Treasure Tuesday


Last few weekends have been plagued by torrential rain and rather cold temperature. Finally Joel and I were aiming to go to Lego festival in Ascot Vale on Saturday. Then Joel ended up vomiting in his car on the way to the exhibition. So we had to cancel it in the end. He is trying to wean his antidepressant down going through withdrawal


I also heard that a lot of people said they want to make "dent" in universe? What the heck does that mean?

  1. Buen menú, para un día de invierno. Ahroa aquí estamos en un verano, muy caluroso y eso hace que apenas tenga apetito.
    Un abrazo.

  2. A positive change. Although my favorite is of course Arthur Dent.

  3. Your food photos look delicious. It could be that I'm hungry as it is just time for lunch here, so your photos appeal to me.

  4. There's nothing that can beat a nice cup of hot soup when it's cold out.

  5. That looks like posh nosh. Cool. Aww poor Joel. I bet that Lego Festival would have been cool.

    Googled it. It is a Steve Jobs' quote. Pretty much having a positive impact on the world.

  10. The food looks so nice but the price is a bit out of my league.
    Dent in the universe? I suppose it means like making a mark in the world. Changing something.

  14. Does the universe need any dents? It's already full of black holes.

  19. Supongo que solo son una parte de los platos del menú ya que suelen ser unos cuantos.
    Espero que Joel se recupere pronto y sigáis haciendo rutas juntos.

    Saludos.

  22. Your blog post is a wonderful glimpse into life in Bendigo! The tasting menu near your home sounds like a great find, especially with the bonus of free house red wine.

    I'm sorry to hear about the Lego festival plans falling through. It sounds like a tough situation with Joel's health, and I hope he’s on the mend soon. It’s never easy dealing with withdrawal, and I’m sure it was disappointing to miss out on the event.

    Regarding the phrase "make a dent in the universe," it’s actually a metaphor for making a meaningful or significant impact. It’s a way people describe their aspirations to contribute something valuable or transformative, even if it’s just in their own way.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights—your posts always offer a unique perspective!
