New Thing Of The Week: Swedish Meatballs

I know I have already had a new thing, but what's so bad about 2 new things?

Okay, so first off take away the mash and zuchinni from the pic above and that's what I had for dinner.

Swedish meatballs with a mushroom flavoured gravy and berry jam.

Very nice. I bought the jam, gravy mix and meatballs for $12.95 from Ikea the other week and made it tonight for Mum, myself and the stepdad.

The gravy is quite savoury and the jam is not sweet but adds a difference to the meatballs (the way I did it was having the meatballs sitting in the gravy and the dip the meatball into the jam) and it dances on your mouth.

Quite lovely. I would definately recommend it.

By the way... I reckon I'm getting better at these reviews (must be something about not having the unhappiness of no Dr Pepper hehe).

New Thing Of The Week: L&P

So first off, I was going to Macquarie Centre (to a place called Lollyland) with my best mate to get a Dr Pepper (because this seems to be the only place left in Sydney that sells it) - but when I got to Lollyland I didn't have any cash to buy it so I had to go find an ATM to get money out.

However, he went and bought 3 Dr Peppers (2 normal and one Cherry flavour). So I went to the ATM and got money out and went back to get a Dr Pepper and all that was left was one Berries & Cream flavour. So I reluctantly got that and bought an L&P (as seen above).

I can't believe he came for us to both get Dr Peppers and he decided to buy all of them. He says there were some left when he bought three cans but still - not happy Jan!

But yes, I bought the L&P as part of my New Thing Of The Week: where I do something new and different every week.

Yes, I know that officially it starts next year but what the hell, I thought I'd start it today.

L&P to me is alright, it's not all too lemony - it's an alright drink.

When I do go to NZ (hopefully next year), I may drink some with my Oportos (there is an Oportos in NZ thank God! I'd die without it hehe).

But still... I wouldn't've minded that Dr Pepper!
