During an afternoon drive on a warm November Saturday afternoon with my favourite person, we ended up in Goodwood where we came across the bakery, Annina's Bakeshop. We left with only a butter tart and cookie, but they were so good it prompted us to go back the next weekend to pick up some treats for our families.

A few weeks ago, I ate at Famous Sam's. When I was little, my family would eat at this diner on & off, then for a number of years we forgot about it. This year for Father's Day, my dad decided to have lunch there and it was then I was reminded why I enjoyed eating there as a child. Pictured above is a steak sandwich with fries and a chicken noodle soup from my more recent visit.

On the topic of forgotten things, these were shot with my Lomo LC-A, which I haven't used in years (though not quite as long as the last time I ate at Famous Sam's before this year).

Lots of stomach ache inducing food was consumed, but the point of going to a fair is to indulge in some unhealthy grease. And yes, that is indeed a Barack Obama doll in the fifth photo.

An early October lunch at a Korean restaurant with my cousin. Coincidently, today I had lunch with the same cousin at a different Korean restaurant.

A fish & chips lunch with my brother in early October. I shot these on film and only picked up the prints this morning. Expect more food photos to come.

Has it been almost two weeks? I keep meaning to shoot some things to update the blog with, but the weather has been so rainy lately that there hasn't been much (natural) light to work with. This afternoon I went out for lunch with my grandpa and I had curry laksa with chicken. So good!

Lunch was at Tofu Village today. So delicious and perfect on a chilly fall day. I am trying to get in the habit of taking pictures regularly again. I can't believe it'll be October tomorrow.

A mini health update:
Round four of R-CHOP14 chemotherapy was completed yesterday. Earlier this afternoon I had a lumbar puncture (I had both fluid collected and chemo injected). Not the most fun thing in the world. I hope I have enough energy to fulfill my weekend plans. I've been feeling pretty good the last couple of weeks, but I am tired today. I suppose today's events combined with waking up at 6:30am will do that to me.

Beppu Edimae, Olympian City 2; West Kowloon, Hong Kong -- beef burger & udon in tomato soup.

Before I left for Hong Kong, I received a request to post food pictures during my trip (you know who you are!). I planned to post pictures as I ate those delicious meals (along with outfit photos), but as some of you are aware, I had internet issues upon arrival.
