- 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!!!

 
So glad you met up with Joannie!

She is a treasure and we look forward to seeing her again next February.

The meatballs and fries sound good...not so sure about the steak, though.

 
I have to admit...

I haven't kept up with the story, did she come this way, or did you go to her?

She is so much fun, isn't she?

I haven't seen her in aaaages, and I'm not even sure I still have a god email - can you forward her mine, please? Time for a catch up!

 
Happy to! We made a quick stop to see her. She is trying to come here in Oct. I had

mentioned to her that if she does come, that I would reach out to you and erin (And whoever is around) for a meet up.

 
Let me know too, if she comes this way!

We won't be around for the 1st 2 weeks of October, but the end of the month is okay.
