Woke up early to get into work for 8. I had a ryvita with peanut butter on it for breakfast. I managed to say 'No thank you' to glazed donuts at work and ate a banana and a few brazil nuts instead.
They provided lunch, from Vincenzo's, my new favourite 'I could so max my credit card in here' store. I got to choose what I wanted, and I chose this: rare beef with lettuce, tomato, onion & black olives with pesto mayo. Would have easily and eagerly switched the pesto mayo for tartar but they didn't have it. Cold rare beef just isn't the same without it! Still, I loved the pesto mayo, it just made me want to get a food processor faster.

Oh my gosh, yummy. It was so good I had to tell Lee to go get one himself before picking me up. He got something a little different, but equally delicious. We shopped around and FINALLY found Garlic Tabasco sauce after a world wide hunt for the past 7 years, since Taco Bill's introduced us back home. Found, purchased, win!

We also saw Vegemite in there and that's when I realised how bloody Aussie I really am, when I shouted what must have sounded to other people like ' OOOOOWWWWW MMMMOOOOIIII GAAAAWWWD! VEG-EEEE-MOOIIIT!'. And it was $16 bucks, can you believe it?!
We also bought a couple of cheeses as its Earth Hour tonight, so doing a cheese and fruit platter. We have brie (tempted to go the mushroom brie, drool! but went with plain), caramalized onion cheddar and a wensleydale with papaya & mango. Will add photo later.

I also cooked up my mushroom dip as I had just finished a couple of hours of studying (recently enrolled into a photography course so there is much work to be done in the next 6-12 months), so also had to have a wine to chill out. Busy day, eh? Maybe not for some, but compared to my last 10 months it was! Please, don't feel sorry for me, its been great. Hahahaha :P Man I love this mushroom dip.

At the rate this bottle of wine is going, my lights might be out before Earth Hour kicks in!

UPDATE: Earth Hour was fun, we really enjoyed it, and ate and drank until we dropped.  Fruit platter, cheese platter and had some calabrese salami on the side (yum yum, my favourite salami!). The cheeses were sensational - brie uber gooey with amazing flavour, wensleydale was soft and scrummy with its fruity goodness, and the cheddar with its sharpness mixed with the sweetness of the caramalised onions. Bloody delicious.
