Yesterday, Kevin (my little brother) drove the entire family to the outskirts and visited some vineyards... it was an absolutely great day! The sky was really dark and cloudy, it rained super hard at one point and for the first time since Bruce's and my wedding almost three years ago, the Tay family was together again. I'm still a Tay by default after all. We all missed Bruce and talked about him (okay, namely dad and I talked about him hahaha) but it was nice for me since he's part of our family and I felt bad he wasn't with us. Of course, he might be tickled to even think my claim of him missing out on anything overly awesome. Can't say he loves Australia.
We had a sumptious lunch at this winery... oh before I go on, why do the Aussies call the appetizers 'entree' and pronounce the 't' in 'fillet'??? Why can't people just speak English?!?! Anywayz, to start, we had antipasta, grilled salmon and pan fried liver salad... everything was yummerlicious. Then the main course consisted of rabbit sausages (awesome!), steak (pretty darn good), grilled snapper (a little salty but good nonetheless) and an order of delicious pork confit. Can you believe we actually managed dessert after all this?!?! No wonder by the time we got home early evening, we all crashed for a couple of hours. In fact, mom and dad went to bed and never did return to join us three bozos for the evening...
It wasn't a very exciting evening compared to the last two nights where we all (except anti-casino Dad) burnt time and money at Crown Casino. It was riveting... so exciting when you're not gambling with your own money hahaha - dad is going to kill me if he ever reads this. ...instead, we ordered some ribs and pizza and watched 'The Italian Job'. I was loyal to Memphis ribs and passed on it hahaha... tried a slice of the meat lovers pizza from a local pizzaria... overly parmesaney for my liking. Not the best I've had for sure... Kevin and Geraldine loved it though, so that was good... I had some more steamed fish...
Oooh, the husband is on msn chat so it's time to chat with him... the rest of this blog entry will just have to wait.
