Requiem.net.au :: Oxley's, E'cco, Surfing, Louise's Taco Night && Pimps, Hoes and Elves
Set 1 - 08/10/2004 Dinner at Oxley's on the River
Walking under Coronation Drive
The pathway
Looking out from the restaurant at my old BSHS rowing shed
Some of the wines on offer
The great scape of Brisbane
A shot of Oxley's
Our wine for this evening, pretty ordinary stuff
To my surprise the cheesecake was fantastic; the rest of the meal had been very ordinary. When I complemented them on it, they said "no they didn't make it, they had it delivered".
I walked down to the waterfront to take some snaps ...
Oxley's meets the water
It even has it's own anchor
I spot some graffiti on the way home and wonder how in the hell they got up there
Set 2 - 25/11/2004 Dinner at E'cco for my 25th birthday
My meal for this evening consisted of: Parmesan crumbed veal, salad of baby cos, pancetta, quail egg and anchovies
Dad had: rare roasted venison, fig tarte tatin, shallot puree and swiss chard.
In an unusual move mum did not get the fish, instead she had: roast breast of chicken, hasselback potatoes, asparagus, oyster mushrooms and rosemary, plus a side of vegetables

The menu, part 2
Hi
Philip Johnson owns E'cco. He is normally the main chef, but was absent tonight
Set 3 - 03/12/2004 Surfing
Nicole decides to join us on our trip to the coast
Oh no! Shawn's car overheats due to a broken hose clamp
His heart was breaking ...
On the blue wrapped pipe you can see the water dripping from it
After filling up the water tank with our bottled water, we made a quick trip to the nearest service station for a complete fill-up
Shawn fills up the tank
I wait patiently
Set 4 - 03/12/2004 Taco night at Louise's
Audrey is happiest with a cok in her hand
Hey thanks for coming
Lachlan arrives
Everything has been all setup, and the meal is served
Commence eating!
Off we head to the local bottle shop (I think)
Some of the wine Louise brought back from Darwin.
Set 5 - 04/12/2004 Pimps, Hoes and Elves Party
This is not a costume party
Calling Dick Tracey and his bitch
Nigel and his well-dressed hoe
Rosie and self
The German brew: Jagermester that Rosie had for the party
I have somehow developed a pronounced manly stubble, much to Louise's displeasure
Rebecca pops on some tunes as the party moves into serious drinking mode
These pastries contain no less than 35% human meat
It's life Jim but not as we know it
Dear God
Rebecca and self
Off we head to KFC for some nourishment. Here we observe Lime enjoying his complete treat
