No jail time, Dinner for 2 instead, Attica..Menu for Hope down under

Instead of staring at my navel and keeping Menu for Hope 4 all about me, myself and I, starting today I will explore all the great things offered by my companions in this effort.

To kick off this voyage around the world, we go to the Asia Pacific region via Grab your Fork since they rolled the red carpet for this event first. .

This is the 28th edition of The Age Guide to Eating Out in and around Melbourne.

She shares 10 pairs of tickets for dinner at Zuup soup bar in Petaling Jaya.
There is more to them than soup as The Epicurious Girl tells us.
Code for this Malaysian Prize is AP21.

We will probably continue this Voyage in Menu for Hope land tomorrow.

It reminded me of my first experience with Ethiopian food...

La 'Petite Syrah' turns into 'Pets' Petite Sirah by Vinum Cellars for Wine Blogging Wednesday #40

Dec 12
Syrah, Sirah...No my day is not going to the dogs. For this Wine Blogging Wednesday #40 on Petite Sirah hosted by Sonadora(the Wannabe Wino), I wanted to keep it fun and unpretentious. Rather than picking a $20 to $30 bottle, I went with the Pets (2005) from Vinum Cellars. Big on the berries with an earthy, spicy finish and decent tannins, it is a good, decent wine, neither flashy nor pretentious. Bonus points: -As a...
