Australia Day

Today is Australia day, so I went down to Barbeques Galore to purchase a BBQ only to discover they had sold out. How Un-Australian is that? No BBQ on Australia Day. Sam Kekovich would shut down them down and deport them all for being Un-Australian LOL. I will have to make up for it by having lamb for dinner, what else on Australia Day? I'm nearly a Fair dinkum aussie :)

Wispa comes to Australia

Cadburys Wispa

Wispa has arrived in Australia and I cannot stop eating them. When I was back in the UK in 2007 they were back but they had all sold out as it was a limited offer. After huge public demand they came back and now they are down under. Only 45pence back there but here they are a whopping £1.20. Thank You Cadburys xxx

All I did was turn up with my UK licence and they issued me an aussie one. Nicely nicely :)

I have seen some crazy things whilst I have been in Australia but this takes the biscuit!

Green Mash potatoes and broccoli

Green Mash

This is what I like to call Green Mash, it won't turn you into the hulk but tastes good. It started a few months ago when I was boiling some potatoes and broccoli and I left them on the heat for about 30mins whilst I was on the phone. When I returned the potatoes were overcooked and i just had to mash the lot together.

Fruit Explosion

Fruit Explosion

This week the weather has been getting hotter by the day climaxing today, Sunday at 37 Celsius this to Europeans is 99 Fahrenheit. I decided this morning I would try and get myself a bit healthier. I skipped the market as I did not fancy getting fruit that had been sat outside all day in this heat and instead headed to the supermarket and look at what I got. Banana, Melon, Grapefruit, Avocado, Tomato, Carrot, Coconut, Strawberries, Leek, Potatoe and Asparagus, what an exhilarating selection of fruit and veg to go along side the meat I purchased yesterday. I am having Beef Wellington for dinner on Monday :)
