Early 830am start for Brunch clubbers which suits two of us fine and the other one sometimes has his nose out of joint about brunching before 10am, a controversial point between us. But this time the night owl in fact suggested such an early start due to our very special guest Mummy Bear being with us this morning and her need for an early departure on a 570km route to Coonamble.
Thelma & Louise is one of our very favourite spots. In fact this is now our third brunch club there but first one this year and so first one to be blogged. Besides earning top marks for its eponymous nod to one of our favourite movies, & consequently many ensuing references to driving off the canyon from us, it is a truly beautiful spot. Magnificent sparkling water on the Neutral bay foreshore ferry dock which dominates the outdoor deck part of the cafe, so glorious that we are yet to sit inside.
Food is highly commendable also. Delicious and well presented. I remarked on how the coffee froth resembles a Jackson Pollock.
Great conversations as usual even at such an early hour. Politics, Sydney University colleges (where one of us lives), movies ('Eye of the Storm'), theatre (The exceptional production of 'Summer of the 17th doll' at Belvoir St), Shakespeare conspiracy theories (we scoof at them), fashion (see Mum's matching green number below) and of course more than a few double entendres with Mummy Bear present. Joyous.
The quiz was 13/15 and Sal and Andrew would like to publicly skite that we are now getting the 'what word can precede the following 4 word's questions much quicker than the nascent English professor/doctorate and recently crowned Hunter Baillie fellow.
SAL: 4.5 golden eggs. Perfect brunch club morning. Food, great friends and a sparkling Sydney harbour what more can you ask fo?. Special thank you to my amazing chauffer Brad for my post- surgery care.
BRAD: 4 Golden Eggs This time we kept a hold of the menu and it didn't fall through the cracks. Thelma & Louise never fails
ANDREW: 5 Eggs unequivocably. What's with my stingy brunch clubbers and their scoring systems? I just completely love this spot and would definitely drive off the canyon with my brunch clubbers in support of this place.
MUMMY BEAR: I'm so happy to take up my position as the Number 1 Brunch club special guest. It's just wonderful to brunch and actually do the quiz with the brains trust rather than doing it on my own at home. Final quote;
"I'm off to pick up my pussy scratcher now from the pet shop before my departure."
