- Caught up with Joanie! Yay! So much fun! Lots of laughs. My cheeks hurt the next day from smiling so much. She has problems with stable internet connections, so does not check in as much. But, sends her love.
- We had some sort of fried meatballs served with a sweet mustard sauce. (I can't recall the name, I believe it began with a "B". Joanie ordered it, and I do not think it was on the menu. It was very good.
- The french fries they served were unique in that they had sprinkled minced garlic, chili seasoning, and cheese w/ the salt. I could not figure out if they fried it all done, or added the seasonings later.... BUT, in any event they were really different, and good.
- I met an Australian chef that prided himself on his technique on cooking steaks. He said his "secret" is to coat the beef in marmite / oil prior to cooking. I have never purchased / used marmite, but it seemed an interesting idea.
- I purposely did not shop prior to vacation, and was really low on everything... everything.... I did a pantry cleanout / fridge clean. It was a fun feeling coming home to a clean / empty fridge.
- Heading to the store in 15 minutes to stock up!!!
