Make mine an eggs bennie

SISTER ANN REVIEW 2nd time at Cuba Café - Cuba Street/Mall/Terrace/Road/Grove in Palmerston North? Luke and I both had an Egg's Benedict. He likes Salmon (what a gourmet) and I love my bacon. If the Police and the Fire Service eat here then it must be good. It was great. Coffee excellent. And now the Pilots eat here too eh Luke?

Buffet night at the Travel Lodge in Palmerston North
SISTER ANN REVIEWS. Had a chance to eat at 'Nosh' again on the way home from
Wellington. Luke was very happy ...desserts on view, in a line, are all a
19yr old would want. I asked him how his cooking was going now he was in a
flat? " I'm cooking a lot of nothing ..." he said " and a little bit of
thyme...get it Mum?...thyme -the herb." Hmmm yep. I mentioned missing entire
meals is not a healthy way to lose weight.

Craig's favourite Chinese Restaurant

SISTER ANN REVIEWS. There is very little food shown in this review. It was so messy and gone so fast. RAMS Restaurant is a tiny café and even though we had 6 people at our table, there was something in front of us almost immediately. Everything was excellent. Craig loves Asian and Indian food so I go with his choices. What astounded me was the bill - $153.00 total. We brought a couple of bottles with us, and I think we added a couple of Cokes. Fantastic value and utterly gorgeous food.

Where is it please? (Good grief, you pay people to do a job and you get this...?)  Also, ATMOSPEHERE does not need so many E's.

Hello again old friend!!!

SISTER ANN REVIEWS. Sigh- I. LOVE. THE. GREEN. PARROT. Situated in Wellington Central, right around the corner from Parliament, all the politicians eat here. Brother Craig (a chef) (why aren't you writing this Craig?) tell him to start his own thank you! Christine. told me once it was Winny's favourite Restaurant. Winston Peters (oops almost called you Concrete Peters). That was enough for me. Never voted for you Winny, but I like you. By the time we left, the entire Maori Party was there with Turiana Turia. The food is preceded by a plate of bread and butter. I wanted to photograph it but by the time I got the camera out of my handbag, Craig and son Mick had eaten the entire stack. So Craig ordered another stack and I only managed to get this photo of a few slices as they thought it was a great joke to try and eat the complete stack again, before I got organized. I asked Craig what was good here and he said "the wiener Schnitzel" "I'm not ordering Weiner Schnitzel in a restaurant!" I said. My thinking is, if I can cook it, it is pretty darned easy and the chef cannot be that good. I asked the waiter. " Weiner Schnitzel ". "Well - the Weiner Schnitzel then" I said. It was goooood..reeeel Goooood! Mick had the steak. His hand is in beside it on the plate to indicate how big it is. Mick is 6'2" tall. The flounder which Cheryl had was actually twin giant flounders. The chef obviously didn't want to part brother and sister.

Eastbourne by the water

SISTER ANN REVIEWS Sitting in the sun at the Chocolate Dayz Café in Eastbourne, 20 mins drive out on the motorway north of Wellington. What could be nicer? Well, of course, it would be nicer if your daughter India was there, Cheryl (pictured). I apologized for accidentally getting on the motorway north instead of turning into a car park in Thorndon where we were supposed to be going for lunch. India forgave me. The food was gorgeous and the café was full so everyone in Wellington either took the wrong turn, or all of Eastbourne eats there. Cheryl and I had a chicken salad and it was fresh and colourful and tasty. Just right. Nanna had a  date scone, I think.

Breakfast at the Lake Ferry Hotel...

SISTER ANN REVIEWS. For more kiwianaism... is that a word Chris? No. What was wrong with "Kiwiana"? Breakfast at the Lake Ferry Hotel comprises of a tray of jams, bread, butter, a bowl of grapefruit off the tree out the back and a toaster. Serve yourself as much tea and coffee as you like as long as you don't want anything with an Italian name. Love it!!! Spent a little time planning the trip out to Featherston...taking the western road around the lake. Winged it and arrived without a mistake. Un. Believable.
