Sunday Roasts, Mongolian deserts, Noisy visitors and Podcast Stories

Yesterday marked another gathering for our First Sunday Roast Club—a tradition a group of four of us has kept going for the last couple of years. True to the name, we aim to get together on the first Sunday of every month to track down a great roast and document the experience along the way. We were a bit late this month, and we’ll be a bit late next month also, due to our commitments.

Unfortunately, we were one person down this month. One of our crew has been motorcycling across the desert in Mongolia of all places! He has been sharing some wonderful photographs of the trip, but we certainly missed having him at the table.

For yesterday’s lunch, we headed to BrewDog at Redfern.

While the inside of the venue features a striking industrial design that nods to its railway history, we decided to soak up the fresh air and opt for an outdoor table instead. We thoroughly enjoyed the venue, the atmosphere, and the meal itself.

At $35 each, the roast hit the spot. While we all agreed there was probably a bit too much Yorkshire pudding on the plate, the individual components were fantastic—especially the roast potatoes, which were particularly wonderful.

Aside from our Sunday lunch, it has been a pretty quiet week mostly spent outside of work hours diving into my podcast, The Limb Shift. Last week, I interviewed three fascinating people. I have already written about one of them on the blog, and I am currently working through the other two episodes. Stay tuned…

Meanwhile, I had some noisy visitors on the weekend.

I’m used to a handful of Little Corellas (white cockatoos) dropping by my balcony, but on Satrday the trees outside my place in Surry Hills were absolutely packed with hundreds of them. A gorgeous, albeit deafening, addition to a Saturday afternoon!
