Firstly, Friday was Canada Day and it was heaps o'fun, we went to our good friend Krista's house, and had a feast! Lee and I had a quick bite before we left, we had a cashew bar each and then a peanut butter ryvita. Out of grapefruit you see.
When we got to Krista's we had broccoli coleslaw on ryvitas, delicious! I wish I got a photo. Never heard of broccoli slaw before, I am so going to make some.
In the afternoon the snacks begun - chipotle stuffed olives, a cheese platter (merlot cheddar, onion cheddar, chilli goats harvati and an apple & cinnamon lancashire), and some champers.
Dinner was a feast also - pork & veg kebabs, cajun prawns & prosciutto wrapped scallops in lemon on the bbq. Deeeelishus! Definitely an overload, we had two salads we didn't touch - spinach, orange & poppy seed with goats cheese and candied pecans, and an apple, lettuce & chickpea salad with lemon dressing.
Check it out yall:
For dessert Krista made a lemon posset and it was bloody delicious, even if the cream didn't agree with me it was still worth it! That and the strong batches of margaritas we were cranking out, way too much fun.
On Saturday we lounged around in the morning, I had a left over pork kebab for breakfast and we had an early lunch of chicken and beef sliders. Was delicious, I wish I got a photo. We finally got to the salads from the night before, and they were awesome (pics stolen from the night before). The sliders were had with left over slaw, salads, guacamole, and condiments ahoy. Delicious.
We head out to the McGregor's in the afternoon and lounged by the pool for a few hours snacking on the left over cheese & grapes before Alix cooked us an amazing dinner of beef fillet with asparagus and roasted vegetables, where I ate three carrots. That's right, I ate three baby carrots, and they were really tasty.
There was a massive storm and the power went out, so it was double the fun. We really love it out there, its beautiful in the winter, and stunning in the summer, plus storms are awesome out there. Was a really lovely evening. And the beef was... well, fantastic, as usual.
This morning we got up after a little sleep in and Alix cooked us up some scrambled eggs with chives and some bacon. Really hit the spot. We departed late morning as we had loads of house things to do, like more laundry, supermarket shopping, cleaning, etc. All of which we have not done yet. Lee picked us up a sub for lunch and they were pretty good, haven't had subway in a while.
Doing some menu planning for the week ahead. The weather is simply beautiful so would like to eat some light healthy food this week and finally get back to the gym (I joined a new one through work, keen to get involved). No idea what we will have for dinner, but when we work it out I will update on that later.
Until then, peace out, happy eatings and catch yall soon. Thanks for the great weekend Krista! xxx
