So last week I was in South Yarra,

where I lived when I first moved here
and I picked up a take out pizza from Pinocchio

It used to be our local fallback
I can't say much for the ambiance,

its apparently an institution

been around since 1970

not sure they have decorated since

but their pizza is old school yum.

more importantly

they carry a Sangiovese Cabernet

by Dal Zotto that is just glorious.

AND as you can see by my photo

in the bathroom they have a hole in the wall

labeled GLORY HOLE.

how long has that hole been there?!

at least 6 months...

it made me smile to see it was still there.

like awww... a Melbourne memory.

and yes, I am all class
sometimes I even eat out at places other than pizza joints.
you'll see.

So I've not quite got this blogging thing into my patterns yet, two failed blog post:

Potato Dauphioise & dinner at +39

Potato Dauphioise

I don't work from recipe books, actually I don't really work from recipes at all

I google, do a little research and then do my own thing

this was the sort of thing I look for in search:

helpful top tips for perfect results, and a why things might have gone wrong section

the potato's were okay, not my best - but much better reheated day to.

anyway, the point of this is #bloggingfail.

I took 1 photo - at the dish's least attractive phase (uncooked)

and then promptly forgot about the whole thing.

Dinner at +39

on Little Bourke Street

pizzeria of the year 2010.

Lush!

The dough / crust was fantastic!

Unlike most commercial pizza its had so much flavor.

and it smelt so good.

so very good.

I forgot to take any photos till after.

Nice cutlery...

we said that before we ate actaully.

not just an after through looking at the photo I did take.

here is a real blogger talking about their meal at +39

Happy Melbourne
