Are you at @thebigdayin? Come visit the #mi9 stand at the Careers Fair and say hi to Dee, Jess, and me!

Altruism Autumn continues! Finally hit 10 donations today.

---

In progress bedroom floor!

---

And it’s finished! Now to paint the skirting boards and move *everything* back in…

---

Residents of Ultimo: your newly cleaned street gardens are courtesy of me and @MATTN_AU picking up all the litter and ciggie butts. #cleanupaustraliaday

---

Naked salmon burger with sriracha mayo, broccoli slaw, and kale chips. #healthy

---

Someone’s birthday is tomorrow…

---

Before: horrible stained and very, very dusty bedroom carpet. (You won’t get the After shot until later today!)

---

Having my first ever kombucha. I like it! #hipster #paleo

---

While officially I want to be Leslie Knope when I grow up, secretly I really want to be Jen Barkley. (Jen is The Best.)

---

I ate the #fatduck sweets! My favourite was the Queen of Hearts playing card tart.

---

My boss @kellyandrine brought in Girl Scout Cookies. My first Samoa in like 15 years! I may have enjoyed this more than Fat Duck.

---

The Melbourne Costco sells Ferris wheels!

---

We scrub up well.

---

Predinner beers.

---

You might wanna mute me tonight. It’s gonna be nothing but selfies and food for several hours. #fatduck

---

And now an aperitif. (This is the classiest place we could find in the casino.)

---

WE’RE HERE! It’s like Wonka’s chocolate factory already. #fatduck

---

Perusing the wine “list.”

---

It begins. And for the curious, photographs are encouraged! 🙂 #fatduck

---

Aperitifs… with liquid nitrogen! #fatduck

---

Savoury ice creams: Waldorf Rocket, Salmon roll, and Golden Gaytime (chicken liver pate with fig and roast almond). #fatduck

---

The Gaytime was the overall favourite. #fatduck

---

Yes! I can cross Snail Porridge off my bucket list. #fatduck

---

Roast marron with kombu and mushrooms and seaweed and a bunch of stuff I forget because it was insanely TASTY. #fatduck

---

Time to go to Wonderland… #fatduck

---

@nessnomster experiences the Sound of the Sea. #fatduck

---

It’s the most famous dish, and the Snook was dubious about the iPod. But afterwards… “I’ll pay that.” It worked. #fatduck

---

Salmon poached in liquorice gel, endives, grapefruit something, vanilla mayo, yum. (Not gonna lie – we’re getting full.) #fatduck

---

Salt marsh lamb, cucumber, creamy stuff… (Will to live fading…) #fatduck

---

…with a side of lamb consommé, mint, quinoa crackers, more lamb bits… #fatduck

---

We are nearly three hours in. This is the face of a very full man. #fatduck

---

It doesn’t look like much, but the Hot/Cold Tea was the most magical thing. The left half was cold, and the right half was hot!! #fatduck

---

The desserts have begun. Grapes! Jelly! Popping candy! Meringue! Cookie sand! We have all perked up. #fatduck

---

We finish with breakfast!

---

We are coming up on four hours, people. I did not expect this to be such a challenge. It’s like a food marathon. #fatduck

---

We got to contribute a piece to the massive jigsaw puzzle mural. #fatduck

---

Scrambled egg-and-bacon ice cream (made with liquid nitrogen), French toast, and marmalade. As you do. #fatduck

---

Four hours in… and we’re having whisky (gummies). How sophisticated. #fatduck

---

We end with lollies… but we’re all too full to eat them! #fatduck

---

So full. We made it. Thanks @nessnomster and Dan for having us along! Unforgettable night. #fatduck

---

Just your average Tuesday night in the Sydney CBD.

---

Tonight: cask wine and a Zooper Dooper. Tomorrow: the Fat Duck, one of the best restaurants in the world. #classy

---

I’ve had a lot of sugar.

---

It’s a Saltwater Sandal kind of party.

---

A fittingly disturbing cake for a 40th birthday.

---

As @smark31 said: “All show and no knickers.” That’s just wrong.

---

Sunday roast. Lamb shoulder, carrots, and sprouts courtesy of the Snook; brown butter cornbread courtesy of me and my cast iron skillet!

---

It’s Korean New Year too. Saehae bok mani badeuseyo! 새해 복 많이 받으세요

---

Blocking. (Did I mention how annoyed I am they killed the Intarsia category at the Show?)

---

Ohai. This is the best thing all week.
