I had mixed emotions. I guess my cyclone experience will have to wait but it was extremely nice to actually get to enjoy the weather. I ate breakfast (oatmeal and yogurt) on our porch. Then, later in the day myself and two others went to a really cool park near our apartment complex and threw the Frisbee for several hours. The park was really cool. More or less, it was just an open field but everyone had their dogs out and it was just a really cool environment. Made me want a dog I could take to the park – can’t wait to get my own when I graduate. It was really cool because were in a park but the Sydney skyline was there in the distance. After throwing the Frisbee we decided to climb up the large hill at the park – good choice. We were rewarded with a beautiful view of Sydney and an absolutely spectacular sunset. Yeah, three dudes watching the sunset at a park. Insert joke here.
Fittingly, after watching the sunset together, we decided to make dinner together. Hey, it’s cheaper AND easier. We went to the grocery store and made some tacos that were very good. Just yesterday, I discovered what Australians call ANZAC (Australian-New Zealand Army Core) biscuits (cookies, Aussies call ‘em biscuits). Apparently, they hold for 30 days and that’s what the soldiers would take with them. Knowing this, I did not think they would be very good. However, they are absolutely delicious. Here is a link to a recipe (http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/food/anzacs.php). I’m bringing Australia to America. Let me know if anyone tries them, I’m curious. We have gone through two bins from the grocery in two days. We kind of like them.
The other oddity at the grocery store is Kangaroo meat. They do eat it here. I’ve actually seen Kangaroo pizza on several menus. I almost bought it tonight. It comes in all sorts of cuts and is apparently a dark lean meat – think buffalo maybe?? Anyway, I am planning on buying some of it eventually and doing something with it. Kangaroo tacos perhaps? We will see. Well, here are some pictures of our view at the park. I only had my phone on me so the quality isn’t great but hey, I tried. I guess that is all for now. Let me know if you have any good Kangaroo recipes ☺

Okay, I've been at the lake all weekend and had a lot of catching up to do so...first and foremost bungee jumping and sky diving...you should do it. I agree with mom don't tell me when you do it until after the fact and don't die because then I would feel guilty. I LOVED bungee jumping - it was quite the adrenaline rush and I have always wanted to sky dive but I decided to have kids instead and now I feel like it would be irresponsible to do it. I love that you can write about nothing and totally crack me up so that I am laughing out loud about coins or pants or doughnuts which by the way dad and I started when we would come home from Pacer games and get munchins at dunkins doughnuts with chocolate milk. I too inherited the doughnut gene and sometimes pick up a doughnut from dunkin doughnuts on my way home from work. My kids LOVE the munchkins from there. I am so excited to hear about the surfing expedition. Keep up the writing - I LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteTeehee!...your date with your dudes sounds so romantic! The only thing missing is candlelight!
ReplyDeleteI checked out your "cookie" recipe, but I don't know what 3 of the ingredients are...otherwise, I would've been tempted to try it!
And by the way...if you want a bulldog, that's not exactly a "go to the park" kind of dog. Unless you plan on walking it in a stroller. You need a lab or an athletic dog. :)
still LOVE the blog...keep 'em comin!
um, I never went to Dunkin Donuts with Dad after hockey or dodgeball or whatever games...and I STILL inherited a weakness for donuts. how'd that happen?
