Afgan Food - A hidden gem

Hi Peeps,

I decided in my last few days in Boondall to try a local restaurant. I decided on Afghan food as I have never had it before.

Can I get a "Yum"?🙌 It was soooo good. Yummy, scrumptious, tasty, mouth watering.

A friend and I were able to walk to the restaurant. A pleasant walk along Sandgate Road🚗🚙🚕💥💥🎧. For those of you not from Brisbane, this is a major road, very noisy.

Luckily, I had booked, it was very busy. I felt confident in the food as soon as I arrived as lots of Afghani people were eating there.

The name of the restaurant is Karwan Afghan Restaurant. It is a small place in a group of shops - Sue's Corner.

It is obviously family run, which makes it feel cosy. Once we ordered we were given a chicken soup as a starter but we told them we did not order this. They said it was complimentary. What a nice surprise!

I know you want to see the food photos so I won't wait any longer.

A bread, lighter than a roti, with spices and potato. A must order!!

A yoghurt based drink with cucumber. Very nice but I also wished I tried the Afghan tea.

Lamb cutlets which melted in my mouth.

Lamb shank with a bucket full of rice.

I had the cutlets and my mate had the shank. I liked mine better but both had amazing flavours.

Afghan food reminded me of Turkish food crossed with Indian food and other Asian cuisines - very tasty.

The portions were huge and we ended up taking some home. When I go again I will order the potato bread, some more entrees like dumplings, one main to share and the tea. I may then have room for dessert. Yes, people I had no room for dessert!!🥺😢

This is the website and you can book online which I love. The whole experience was easy. https://karwanafghan.yumbojumbo.com.au/menu

Please try this little gem in the 'burbs.

Oh, I should mention the price - all this was just under $100. You had a wide range of price ranges to choose from. We obviously went lamb, which is a little dearer but they also have vegetarian, chicken and beef.

Once you have been message me on Insta https://www.instagram.com/one.ro.many.roads?igsh=MXd1azltejlicHdveg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

I would love to know if your experience was as good as mine.

Love,

Ro.

Packing Day

Hello Peeps! Well, we are on the move again. We moved into our new home in 2022, a nice little place that I was able to buy after my financial separation. It is very small for me and the Cheeky Monkey's to live in and it was probably time to move but ...... I decided to rent the place out and look for something for us to rent. Thank goodness for S&P, we have moved in with them whilst we are finding something. The rental market is ridiculous but I can not complain as I have a roof over my head. I could be living in a tent on the foreshore. Yes, that is a huge thing in the area we live in. Many tents by the beach due to homelessness and housing crisis. Photo Credit - Moreton Bay Council That is one of the reasons I am housesitting to explore new areas and also not enough rooms in S&P's place. They would have squished me in but it is time for some me time. Anyway back to packing. I had to hire Taxi Boxes because there is no storage available. Another shortage! I paid some ...

Ro's in the wild again

Hi Peeps! Well, it has only taken about 4 years of thinking and no doing but now feels right. I love to write and share my adventures. I started this a few years back just on my Facebook page when I started solo travel. I got lots of comments and people told me they were waiting for my next posts. However, I mainly did it for me. A way to recall all my adventures and activities and wait each year for those Facebook memories to pop up. The idea of this blog is similar. I am about to embark on more adventures (I hope the English teachers reading this recognise the foreshadowing😉). Yes, I am still in Oz but I am embarking on some home adventures before I head overseas again. "Why be boring at home ?" she says. Speaking of English teachers, I am not one! I teach Business and Maths and have had to teach English and Humanities. If you like a blog with no grammar issues or proper sentence structure please move on. Don't troll me; just forget you once read a post with comma'...

Are mental health issues a real thing?

Image
Hi Peeps, Please note there will be triggers for some people on this post. I do mention self harm and dark thoughts. Stop reading now if you need to. This topic is not for everyone. I actually wrote this one many weeks ago and was deciding when would be appropriate to post. Yesterday, a young person in our community tried to take her life and it made me realise I need to post this. I am very sorry to say I never used to think mental health was a thing. I used to believe these people just needed to get out of bed, exercise and life would improve. Oh, how the universe proved me wrong. In 2021, I started to feel flat, nothing could make me happy. I got an amazing promotion at work and I was not even excited. That was a warning sign but I ignored it. Soon my physical health went down, I developed reflux, I could not sleep and the dark thoughts came. I told my husband at the time I was struggling and needed his help. He decided to take himself off on a solo fishing trip and left me alone wi...
