Morning from the Downunderverse

Heading to the city today for the Good Food & Wine Show. Will be slinging cheese all day today & tomorrow.

Yesterday’s meals were noteworthy because they were so weird for me.

A cheeseburger & chips for lunch at my desk.

Followed by snacks & drinks at 5pm for exhibitors at the GF&WS.

A pork katsu burger & chips for dinner with a friend - her birthday, her choice of cuisine, my shout.

I went to bed not feeling fantastic.

This morning I took advantage of the Korean centric suburb I’m in here in Sydney and had a roast sweet potato 🍠 and a veggie & egg kimbap on the train for brekky.
 
It's about to get ugly in North Texas. 106F is 41C. :heat: It's that time of year again.

Well we sold so much cheese on Saturday my cheese boss gave us today off with exhibitor privileges to enjoy the GF&WS.

Daughter and I started tastings at 9:40am and finally gave it away at around 4pm. I think we actually got to see, if not taste, every product on offer. You couldn’t taste all the wines etc you’d end up a mess.

But we gave it a red hot go.

Last year we did 2 x 10 hour days selling cheese. This was better. We had a blast.

I brought home a backpack full and my daughter has the rest of our haul. She’s got the wine & cheese plus more salami as she got a cooler bag plus her suitcase. She gone home to Lithgow by train.

Just cold here with a bitterly cold Antarctic wind. So the 8°C it actually made it to today still felt like 0°C/32F in the wind.
We're now 700kg up on firewood in the shed.

Since this happens every summer, people here know how to deal with it -- as long as they are sober. Bad things happen at the lakes here on weekends in this heat due to too much beer, and not enough water/Gatorade.

I could do with some of that heat please. Today in the sitting room, never made it above 14°C (16°C is 61F) despite the wood burner being fully open and not overly packed with wood. I've spent the day with 2 long sleeved t-shirts and a woolly cardigan on and I'm still cold! There is snow on the peaks to the south of Canberra.
