    A Day with the Girls
Sunday was a sunny autumn day, perfect for a very late breakfast with my girlfriends. With a headache and a big appetite we headed into Civic to Cafe Essen. After a few hours of walking around Glebe park we headed back to Essen for some delicious cake. Essen holds a lot of great memories for me, during high school and college it was a typical hang out with friends. Years later I'm still drawn into its warm bohemian atmosphere and comforting food.

                                                  Poached eggs with salt and cracked pepper

They look nice, but I always feel ripped off both for the portion size and the price... have you ever made cheese cake before?
