A Weekend In The Country

We had such a good weekend – relaxing, eating, enjoying each other's company, eating, not thinking about everything else we have on plates (well, not much anyway), eating.

Did I mention eating?

A long overdue break.  And for a couple of foodies, a weekend in the heart of Australia's foodbasket was an excellent idea.  Then again, most of the ideas my brilliant wife comes up with are excellent, so it's no surprise.

Funny how I took WAY more pictures on our way home than I did during the 3 days we were actually in & around Orange.

Enjoy, and if you have any questions, you know what to do.

Btw, at some point in the near future, Diane will have her own post over at http://www.numptard.com of her pics.  While mine are all from my iPhone & some help from CameraBag, she took hers on our Sony Cybershot 10.1 megapixel "real" camera, and she's processing the pics with a little more finesse than me.

Eveleigh Produce Market

We visited the fresh produce market at Eveleigh Carriageworks today.

We even bought some fresh produce along with the amazing breakfast of porridge and bacon & egg rolls.

This development is a great use if this once-derelict site, with the Carriageworks now the setting for a contemporary theatre space

We love the arts, sweetie.

Harry’s Cafe de Wheels

Perfect for a spring afternoon snack at Wooloomooloo.

Tiger pies are ever popular, but I decided to go for the Hot Dog de Wheels…a bun, mushy peas, onion, chilli con carne, cheese & tomato sauces…and a hot dog too

Chocobacon : The Scratchings

By popular demand, here it is.

Previous instalments in the saga can be found here and here and here.

Some Stats:
- we had around 40 minutes of “material” to sort through.
- approx 5 minutes of it was seriously unfit for public consumption…I had no idea just how wrong I could be (and it was all me). Of course, you may think the bits I’ve elected to include might be inappropriate anyway…
- we alluded to including a taste test of chilled chocobaconbits. It was delicious, but the footage was just boring.
- there will quite likely be some “issues” with an occasional word that may be acceptable in some countries and not in others, ifyaknoworrimean.

And yes, my laugh sounds a lot like Muttley, get used to it, ’cause there’s a fair bit of it in here…

Should I…?

The chocobacon thing has been going for a few weeks now (no, I’m not going to link it all…), and Diane’s contribution with Digella Awesome continues to make me laugh.

So I’ve done the outtakes video.

Thing is…should I post it?

It’s very funny.

To me.

But will it be to you?

So…how about you let me know what you’d like me to do.

In the first comment down there, I’ve inserted a little PollDaddy Poll, so head on down and vote for whether this should go up or not.  Get voting.
