Tasty Tuna Steak Marinade

If you’re anything like me then you’ll love sea food and more to the point fresh fish. Living in NZ we are spoilt for choice and are fortunate to be able to enjoy our kai moana extremely fresh.  One of my favourite fish would have to be Tuna, not the mashed up rubbish you get in the can but fresh tuna steaks.

Places to Drink in Auckland

Auckland is spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a venue to enjoy a drink out. With so many options available it’s good to have a list to pick from based on what you’re looking for.  So I’ve compiled a fairly comprehensive list that groups bars together by the following categories:

  • After 5 drinks
  • Britomart
  • The Sunday Session
  • Before the Concert Place
  • The Spot to have a Dance
  • After 10pm
  • The Lounge Around Place
  • The Sitting in the Sun Bar
  • The Older Crowd
  • Irish Bars

After 5 Drinks

Theres nothing like having a drink at the end of the work day.  Here’s a list of bars we’d recommend for afer 5pm drinks.

People I’ve Lived With

The other day after I shifted flats, yet again, I thought about how I feel like I’m always moving. So I decided to make a list of all the people I’ve lived with over the years. Here it is:

  • A not so nice girl who stole from the flat account, stole the bond and eventually got evicted. We nicknamed her trailer trash.
  • My best friend
  • A girl from Kurow who liked to listen to depressing music on a Sunday morning
  • Three girls from Timaru
  • A girl from Rakaia
  • A cow girl / nurse  who moved out after a few months due to us being noisy and inconsiderate
  • A girl from Ashburton
  • A girl from Oamaru
  • A token guy who moved into a flat of 5 girls
  • A Wellingtonian
  • A girl from Alexandra (she was Masha, I was Dasha)
  • An annoying old man
  • A nice Aucklander
  • 5 guys – this was a party flat
  • A girl who used to knit baby clothes even though she wasn’t pregnant
  • The above girls annoying boyfriend
  • One of my good friends who I went to London with – infact we’ve loved together in a few places
  • A girl who I don’t think I spoke to more than 5 times
  • Two guys from Dunedin, both in London, both I didn’t know until I moved to London
  • A girl and guy (couple) from Wellington in London who introduced me to some of my closest friends today.
  • There is so many more but I think I’m probably boring you all now!
