20:19:00 <Glenn> :)
20:20:00 <emerald^eyes> on of the ppls i work with's kid is doing school fundraising , selling dozen bottles.. cleanskins

20:21:00 <emerald^eyes> well they had a tasting for ppls to see how they were.. i was very pleasantly surprised
20:22:00 <Glenn> ...dozen bottles of wot... ?
20:22:00 <emerald^eyes> well.. im going to get a mixed dozen, some lovely shiraz, and cab merlot
20:23:00 <emerald^eyes> its mclaren vale wines, just south of adelaide
20:24:00 <Glenn> ...mmmmm.... :))
20:24:00 <emerald^eyes> verrrry nice, and a beautiful sparkling shiraz too, hope i get some of them
20:27:00 <Glenn> After class on Monday, I went the the rest of the group and our teacher to a local Chinese restaurant... we have a red Chinese wine, which was warmed (!!!!!)... ad that was VERY nice! At 18%... was NOT something to get too used to though!
20:27:00 <emerald^eyes> gawd, thats fairly serious wine.. what is it like?
20:28:00 <Glenn> A very mild sweet sherry... no bite at all...
20:28:00 <emerald^eyes> but a surprise kick hey ..lol
20:28:00 <Glenn> Was made from rice... I've tried the Chinese white wine... suitable only for floor polish stripper... so was very dubious about a red variety!
20:29:00 <Glenn> ...er, yeah... did sort of snneak up a bit later!
20:30:00 <emerald^eyes> i never get tipsy on one and half glasses of wine .. but tonite i did because i had no lunch to speak of
20:31:00 <Glenn> Oh... :)))
20:31:00 <Glenn> You're not going to be much good later then... <*smirk*>
20:31:00 <emerald^eyes> lol and ive only been at the office for a week, so needed to make a fairly good impression lol
20:31:00 <emerald^eyes> yeah all gone now... had chicken and chips , instant sober
20:33:00 <Glenn> Was a good night at the retaurant... the teacher got the menu in English... the rest of us (6 stoodents) had to sort out what we were going to eat in Chinese... the teacher ha also wised up the waiter to NOT speak or acknowledge English...
20:34:00 <emerald^eyes> lol im sure you did most of the ordering hey>
20:35:00 <emerald^eyes> and tell me what you had ... we love any asian food
20:35:00 <Glenn> No.... just the translation!
20:35:00 <Glenn> We had a "banqute style" meal... plates of food in the centre, all bog in...
20:36:00 <Glenn> The centre piece was a barramudi steamed whole... :)))))
20:36:00 <emerald^eyes> ohhhhhh yummmmy... we go to a really great chinese restaurant here, they have the best yum cha..
20:37:00 <emerald^eyes> and we are often the only gwailos there lol
20:37:00 <Glenn> Was a REAL Chinese restaurant... not one of the "pretend" ones like they have around here...
20:38:00 <emerald^eyes> yes this one is like that.. full of big chinese families all having lunch
20:39:00 <Glenn> Yes... that'd be a good one to go to too.... the ones around here are lucky to have an Asian cook!
20:40:00 <emerald^eyes> we dont like non-authentic ones.. you know.... chicken and black bean, chicken and oyster sauce, chicken and sweet chili sauce.. boringggg
