The rest of Saturday....

I usually cook a family meal on Saturday nights - my specialty at the moment is the world's best fettucini carbonara. Seems like the family can't get too much of it. I should say it is only the world's best through the ingredients I use (not my cooking skills) and they can only be found in Melb at a few places - my favourite place being the famous Vic Markets. Wobblette #2 and I cruised into town and once at the markets went to the free range egg man (they don't get any fresher unless you live at the farm), to my favourite deli for the freshest and silkiest fettuncini ever created. It also sells the yummiest smokey bacon I have ever had - we got a couple of extra rashers for Mrs W's mother's day breaky tomorrow too. Then to the cheese shop for parmigiano reggiano. Mine obviously is a non-traditional version (using bacon) and I also add some swiss brown mushrooms which I get from a little mushroom merchant.

Ingredients collected we headed to another Melbourne icon for hot chocolate, coffee and cake at-
Peligrinis
a shop that is 53 years old and serves traditonal Italian dishes and magnificent coffee - even if they are a bit rude when serving it. Over the laneway is a little bookshop so we poked around in there for a while.

After getting home I took both Wobblettes down to see the local footy team play (and win in a nail biter). After polishing off dinner and some chocolate mousse cake for desert, I think we will all sleep well tonight.... (if I can ever get that Postman Pat tune out of my head)
