TUDO BEM REVIEW

 

Last night we went to a fairly new restaurant here in Hamilton, called Tudo Bem.  It is a Brazillian Churrascaria style eatery.

The idea is you sit down and have servers come to your table with meats on skewers and you can have some, or not.  You also are given accompaniments and sauces to have with the meat.

So first up we were served these:

ABOVE:  A very small cheesy bun.  Shame you only got one.

ABOVE:  Accompaniments:  small bowl of rice, black beans (ikk), flavoured 'flour', tomato salsa, pesto and kale (tasteless shit).

Then slowly but surely three people came around to the tables with skewers of meat.  All servings were tiny, laughable even.  Most of the meat was delicious though.

After about an hour of that they finally offered us some coleslaw... it was clearly pre-made from a supermarket.  I kept waiting for the potato salad.

It finally turned up an hour and three quarters later, as we were leaving.  We didn't have any.

We asked for some of the pineapple that was on the menu.

ABOVE: THAT just pissed me off!  One of those tiny strips was from the damn core and I couldn't even eat it.  I really thought they were taking the piss serving such a tiny piece of pineapple!

As the time wore on it became obvious there was bugger all coming out any more, so we left.

On a whole, an experience.  One we will not be repeating. 

ON a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being abysmal and 10 being outstanding, I give Tudo Bem a 4.

Sad really as we were really looking forward to trying that restaurant.

OH and it wasn't $50 per person, it was $54.50 per person.  We left feeling ripped off.

Now, back to today.

I am not sewing!

My plan is to go out to Grandmother's Garden in Gordonton to look for some fabric suitable as backgrounds for runners.  

I know I already have a lot of fabric, but sometimes ya just don't have quite what you are looking for. 

Lastly for now, I'm finally meeting up with an old friend, who lives near us, but we haven't seen each other in like, shit, 20 years?  Feels like it's been that long any way.  So that should be neat.

10.30 am:  just back from Gordonton.  Found what I wanted, and got a couple of ideas to expand on my FBG Runners details.

Stealing ideas!

My right thumb is KILLING ME.

It hurts and aches all the time.  Since a couple of days ago.
I have NO IDEA why.   I did not hurt it.  I don't remember stabbing it with a pin.

Yet it is causing so much pain.  It feels like I hit it HARD with a hammer!

Anyone have any ideas?

1.55 pm:  My visit with Jill went so well.  We yakked for 2 hours before her next client arrived (she's a hairdresser operating from home).

I really needed a kind ear actually.

I got blindsided by Lacy this morning by something she said.  

It made me cry on the side of the road.

Nothing BAD.  Just hurtful.

When I think about how much sewing I've done lately, arthritis is the most likely cause of my thumb pain.  I will get some pain killing cream and see how that goes.

Thanks for all the comments about it.  Love ya's.

HEADACHE.  Need panadol STAT.

Stew just reminded me that I haven't done a nite nite update.

Derrr. I'm already in bed!

Just tired more than usual.

Catch ya tomorrow.
