Clay Fine Food & Health
Rathdowne Village is quickly becoming a security blankie: one that smells just right and has you all edgy if you leave it alone for too long. Small Screen supplies the films and records, Gerald's bar serves the wine and cheese, North grinds your beans, and now Clay is your favourite convenience store.
Allnut Boat Hire
To fish on our beautiful bay in winter, you need sea legs, cast iron guts, and a stiff, nautical beard (that covers your entire body). Thankfully though, spring has arrived so all you need now is a couple of mates, a box of barbecue shapes and a healthy sense of man-whimsy. Oh, and a vessel of some kind.
Bastille Day activities
Pour café / petite dejeuner: While we French purists have been turning our noses up at Vue de Monde (it's Vue du Monde, Monsieur Bennett), its little Café Vue is parfait - including the spelling. Sidle in with Le Monde under your arm, order a noisette (short macchiato) and a lemon and almond croissant that's richer than the Yves Saint Laurent (RIP) suit drinking his latte to your left.
Secret IGA
Edie: I'm at secret IGA now. More details to follow.
Penny: I have decided to interview you via sms, I will transcribe. How did it go, what do they have there?
Edie: First and foremost, they have whippets. Right there out in the open. For the taking.
Penny: Amazing. And are they live?
Edie: I've just been informed that what Americans call whippets, you all call whippy bulbs, nangs.
Self Preservation
Those who have seen the Brady Bunch Hawaiian Bound double-epsiode (September 1972) - in which Bobby finds a Tiki necklace and attracts a run of ill fortune, causing Greg to sustain a serious surfing injury and Cindy to be terrorised by a giant spider while sleeping - know that hot jewellery can lead to more than a second date.
Koko Black
Upon first entering the sleek-looking Koko Black, I feel my head twitch, my heart skip a beat, and my toes fidget in a wave of curiosity. Although the store has the look of a Starbucks that's been mutated into a bank, the atmosphere is more than delightful while the staff, namely the J man, are simply wonderful.
Hot cross buns
With tedious predictability, every year I exclaim, ‘I wish you could get hot cross buns the whole year round’, and then realise that they just wouldn’t be as good then would they.
This Easter, Daniel Chirico of Baker d Chirico who we interviewed in our last issue, is doing buns with a decadent dark chocolate cross.
