Like A Pig To Slaughter...
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up (Thanks for the CD Mom)
I never thought I'd be so happy about eating. This weekend was all about gluttony.

Friday night, Brett came over and we had an American snack night. He got to try the beauty that are s'mores, as well as American Coke (yes it tastes different), after dinner mints, and Junior Mints. Someone has to show these Aussies what they are missing in our food.

On Saturday we had a yard sale, and Jim came over to help out. He went to our favorite cafe, Silly Yaks (Jim is a Coeliac) and got Chicken Foccacias. That night we went back to his house for awhile, and decided to try our luck with having Mexican food. I haven't had Mexican food at all while I've been here, except the times I've made quesadillas or, once, taquitos. We went to a restaurant just down the street from his house, and lo and behold, they had wonderfully authentic Mexican food, although there were no authentic Mexicans cooking it. I haven't been that content after a meal in ages.

Sunday, as a thank you to Jim for helping me out with a last minute job, we went to Smorgies, a buffet restaurant. Contrary to the name, the place looks like the Tiki Room at Disneyland, down to the fire breathing tiki gods and an animated tree show. The food was decent, but again I was only too happy to indulge.

This morning Chris and I finished our job and went to Silly Yaks for breakfast. I'm getting spoiled (and probably on my way to being hugely obese) by all this wonderful food. I'm on my way out to try to walk some of it off.
