When Man from Mars comes up to visit from Canberra, all we do is eat. We wake up late and we eat. Two hours later and all this shopping/lying around/dvd watching has stirred our appetites and it's time for Lunch. We shop/flop around/dvd watch some more and we're revved up for some Arvo Tea. Then in the grand tradition of ending on a high note we celebrate the final meal of the day with no less than a 4 course banquet.
This weekend was no exception. We made a special trip into town to bestow Man from Mars with the chance to sample the culinary delights of Burgerlicious (you may recall that I have raved about this eatery in a past post- a popular haunt of my work mates, it never fails to satisfy). I had the Bostinian beef wrap, Man from Mars had the Munaco chicken wrap, we both got the most chicken saltiest chips you ever laid eyes on and a fizzy drink to balance out the salt and the grease. All for the bargainable price of $11 bucks each.
Satisfied we were, and we lugged our two tonne bellies down the street for some veritable purchases. I spontaneously felt inspired to pick up on the German I learnt 5 years ago and bought some German language CDs. Meanwhile, Man from Mars tapped into his lyrical/hardcore rocker/whimsical pop side and purchased an electric guitar. That's right, an electric guitar.
Then we lugged our two tonne bellies along with a one tonne guitar to Arvo tea where I had a chai latte, Man from Mars had his regular latte and we both dipped into the Apple and Rhubarb Crumble. As we sat there pondering our painful feet and massaging our swollen bellies, it occurred to us that it was fast approaching 5 pm, and that we better get outta town quicksmart if we were going to even have the chance to put in a strong effort for dinner.
And so we motored home and were greeted by my parentals, eager for some "Altogether now, it's Family Time!" time.
So we went to the local RSL and had the hugest servings of the most heartiest meals available.
I kid you not, if humans could roll (without getting scratched, bruised, mangled and travel sick), I guarantee you we could've rolled faster than any car on Valvoline.
Anyway, so now we're back home and we're about to embark on a hardcore Movie Night.
But come to think of it, movie nights aren't the same without movie food... I suppose that it'll just have to be accompanied by some chips, ginger ale, and some chocolate. All in the name of enhancing our cinematic experience, of course.
