I know Les.... but a like it thick.... spoon should stand up...... also something satisfying about making your own.... then freeze it in one serve containers.....

 

Also it is relaxing stirring and looking out the window......

 

Have the best BBQ chicken last night... chips and chili sauce for dipping and washed down JC fizz...... it was wonderful.......

Sounds good Mic, another pie day, cool and pouring with rain, like the past 4 days.

[MicCanberra]

fine and cloudy here, quite balmy as well around 20 now but only got down to 15 overnight.

Not a pie in sight!  Had early Mother's Day lunch with my daughters at The Spirit House at Yandina.  Recommend anyone holidaying at the Sunshine Coast book ahead at this world class restaurant in the most beautiful tropical setting .  The wait staff are suburb, happy to explain all the menu items in detail.

I need your critique on this place Marion.  How's the food?  We have a week in Noosa booked with the family late June and son in law has booked a lunch for the adults at Spirit House.  Very much looking forward to it.

 

Also noticed there is a ferry along the river in Noosa so I'm planning a trip on it to help ease my cruising itch.

There are so many inviting meals to choose from at Spirit House, it pays to research on the internet first.  We had nine different meals between us and we were all happy with the food.  I recommend you choose the individual menu, $95 for 3 meals or $110 for 4 meals. They are happy for you to share (we only parted with a spoonful).  They have a large drinks menu.  In addition, you can buy frozen take away curries.

Oh I love that day ferry trip along the Noosa River to the Everglades.  We hired a houseboat once which was fabulous.

Always thinking Les 🙂

Thanks for your input on Spirit House Marion.  Much appreciated.  Yep, I'm aware of the $$$$ but this will be a celebration of 2 milestone birthdays (my daughter's and mine) so why not lash out a bit?

 

And no, a meat pie just wouldn't do the job on this occasion.  LOL.

I am not into flash restaurants, max $30 a plate for moi. But if you have it, spend it.

 

I have not spent my NSW Govt $25 dining vouchers yet, better get into them before they expire on 30 June 2021.

used ours for first time this week at Penrith Golf Club - had a nice steak s/w & chips (not fries) & Tracey had the perch with veges. Thanks Gladys 🙂 No photos sorry - I'm not a food photo taker

I'm sitting here relaxing with a Ginger Beer Spiced  and Rum after our big day at the Markets.  Our favourite Japanese Restaurant at Noosa Junction was closed so I had Japanese lunch ($19) at another one.  

The Spirit House is continually booked out I believe, with only Sunday nights being lighter bookings.  

Unless you are wealthy, Spirit House is only for very special occasions.  We were all delighted with our food choices and are still raving about the experience, so feel it was good value.

Happy birthday to you and your daughter.  I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time savouring the excellent food and the tropical atmosphere.

Many thanks Marion.  Yes, we are all very much looking forward to our meal at Spirit House.  And why not lash out?  LOL I have far more birthdays behind me than in front of me so live while you're alive I say!

My favourite pie if from a good bakery.

 

[GUT2407]

Miss Gut, as she used to be, hasn’t had a honeymoon yet and was getting nervous about their trip to Tassie next month.

 

So her and Hubby headed out to Dubbo for a few days R&R, bought me a couple of cold pies from what used to be a great shop in Merriwa, will report back when they have been demolished. Chunky Lamb and Mint and Chicken Morney.

Batehaven Bakery near me has them. But I make my potato pie at home, get the GF pie and put that instant mash spud - Deb, on top, a couple of dollops of mushy peas as well, Harry De Wheels style.

Me too but I haven't found a good one since a local deli who baked them closed down years ago. I really miss their potato top pies.

And there was me thinking this was supposed to be all about Cruising! How wrong I was.
