I heart Peas

It's 1.30 pm and I get called in. Miss Marci, it's your turn. Please come through. They ask me to wash my hands thoroughly and then wipe my face and neck with some horribly stinky-blue dissinfectant. 

"Can you tell me why you are here today?"

I wanted to reply "Because you horrible people want to torture me" but instead gave the more accurate response...

"I'm here to have my lower, left wisdome tooth out." 

They explained that the tooth had fused to my jaw and that they were opting to chisel rather than saw into the jaw to remove it. They also make my sign a waiver which promises I won't sue if I never feel the left hand side of my face again.. I signed.. I was afraid...Now, well after 12 hours later, I can definitely feel my face..it hurts!

Three hours later, with 6 large anthesia shots and 5 small ones, I emerged in a great deal of pain. Everyone said I should have had a general, but I just don't like the idea of them... anyway - I'm okay, but as aformentioned in a great deal of pain. I was handed antibacterial mouth wash and a panadol... I looked at the panadol and called my GP straight away. Within 15 minutes I had Panedine Forte in my pretty little hands- however, unfortunatlely for me, this number the pain from worse than Contractions to worse than Child Birth ... Yes - I am serious... This hurt more than Child Birth and more than Contractions (personally I think the contractions are more painful than the pushing...) anyway- totally off track... my point here is... on this food blog... is that Peas aren't just for eating. I love them, and they have been on my face for almost 24 hours now. I have two zip-lock bags, which I alternate from freezer to face as each packet melts.

I am so hungry - I can't eat.... this is food bloggers hell. Please someone take my pain, I will give birth for you in exchange! 

Back in the ranks...

So after a crazy, busy month, of sickness, dentistry and hiding I'm back. (Although I'm due back for surgery on Wednesday! Wish me luck and a Valium!!!)

Truth be told I was back a week or more ago, but I just kept putting blogging off, kind of like my tax. (Yes, I know, I'll be fined and audited and whatever, and I really need to get my act together and put my Tax in before this financial year is over, or before I go to Japan at least...)

Anyway, point is, I put it off because I had a back log of posts and there's nothing I hate more than a back-log. As I type, I realised I'm procratinating a backlog of reports I'm supposed to be submitting.... it's all relative.

So this month has consisted of so much, there's been lots of eating out and lots of movies and lots of fun stuff!

In fact, I've just come home from watching "The Rebound" at the cinema with my darlings. It was lovely and fun and it was a good 'non thinking' movie - great for an improptu outing. 

I've also returned to Taste of Shanghai (twice!!) - it's so good, my mouth craves their volcanic Pork Bun w/soup Pot Stickers... oh my! And we cannot and will not go home with out Steam Silver-thread w/ condensed Milk! It's such a mouth party - I just wish everyone could enjoy it as much as I do!

Another adventure I've been having is repeats at 'El Jannah', an amazing BBQ Chicken shop in Granville. One of these days I'll post photos and details, but I must say, that after a long time of chicken ordering I am in complete and utter love with their freshly made, on the spot, worth the wait felafal. It was 15minutes of standing about, but it was so amazingly tasty, that I will never order the chicken again. 

I'm also yet to write about the Hot Pot, Angus steaks and Corn-fed Roast Chicken, but these are all put on the back-log. You may read about them one day, you may not... only time will tell.

One thing you will be reading about is my "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" - it's comming and it will be exciting and I promise to post menus, recipes and plenty of photos!
