Gayle's Inexplicable Musings & Rambling Rants

So Michael Jackson died. Wow.  Freakish death to end off his freakish life. I know that this is going to be a circus and frankly, while he was a superb talent (a LONG time ago) his paedophilia should prevent people from elevating his reputation to God-like status. We know that’s not going to happen. He sure managed to steal the spotlight from Farrah Fawcett who had been working on her goodbye for years.

Bec gave Stephen some lollies/candy to keep him going while she is away travelling for two months. Diabetes anyone?

Larry just sent me 24 long stemmed roses! Oh my!! Sent from Gayle’s Blackberry….

We went to dinner last night as a double celebration for my birthday and Stephen’s birthday. The restaurant was Breezes at Crown http://www.breezesatcrown.com.au/

It was a gorgeous setting and magnificent food!

I started with a Carrot and Orange soup which although it sounds weird, was the most beautiful tasting soup I’ve ever had. Not only that, it was served in this huge flat white bowl. Just looked magnificent.

Following, I opted for the baked chicken breast which was sitting on a bed of crushed peas and corn with a side of mashed potato. Huge square white plate and the presentation was a work of art. The boys went for steak (there’s a surprise!).

Finally, for dessert I had a chocolate mousse, sitting on a wafer of chocolate brownie, surrounded by nitrogen frozen raspberries that were “smoking” as they were served. Too too special.

The view was magnificent overlooking the Yarra River as the city lights reflected in the water and when the gas flames started up mid way through the night the shots of flame roaring into the air were spectacular. A wonderful night and something to remember!

Bec sent this to Stephen for his birthday. A big Mrs Fields cookie! Sent from Gayle’s Blackberry….
