Weeks Events

After taking time to decompress, the rest of the week was filled with less excitement, at least for a few days.

Hot stone dinner at the local/only restaurant. Melting Pot meets 2 inch stone is the only way to compare it. Aussie lamb, prawns and chicken to cook your own way. 3 dipping sauces on the side and the tastebuds loved it!

I browsed the Hero market for a few items. I passed on the tendon and other strange objects which resembled a bone of something. Chickens were smaller than in the states. No hormone injected animals here. However, they do like to remove the breasts of the chickens and repackage them. When you get a craving for a roasted chicken and open the package, you have a 50/50 chance of the breasts being gone. Aggravating for the locals. I picked up a fantastic Australian cheese at the store, Black Forest. I know I will have a craving for it in the near future. Cooked a nice dinner of penne and tomato cream sauce...forgetting to look for weevils in the pasta. Extra protein is always good.

Kate and Sydney were prepping for the big "50's" theme school production. All the children in the school participate in the nights events. Each grade does their own singing and dance number. The restaurant is decorated for the evening festivities with a drive in movie theater and a 50's soda fountain. The Tembag PTA needs to inspire PTA's in the states. Kate gave her goodbye speech since she is leaving for boarding school this year. A few tears from her mother, myself and I do believe her father.

Time for a good nights sleep. Chopper to catch Saturday morning, we hope.
