i may not have had a thanksgiving this year, but i think i just made up for it with possibly more to come. the last two days i went to barbecues, the one yesterday being held at the home of the guy i work for, and the other one here in the garden of the backpacker's. peter's wife ann made some fantastic food, including a pavlova, which is basically like a meringue. in the form of a cake. it's very light and airy and sweet. and oh, so tasty! today was a potluck, with all sorts of goodys. most of them seemed to have garlic and/or rosemary, which we have in abundance at the front of the back house. i used both of those ingrediants and made garlic rosemary breadsticks. they were all eaten, so i guess that means they were pretty decent. this is after last monday, when jessica and i made our fantastic tomato spinach pizza.
and no, i have not been eating any kiwifruit. just in case you all were wondering!
i'm also trying to decide about going to big day out 2008 in auckland. the problem i am having most is about the date, and not knowing if i will be able to go even if i buy a ticket. tickets are about $100 so of course i want to be certain. but the list of bands looks almost irresistable. the cincher is arcade fire. i don't know if it would be as good at a festival as a regular show, but do i look like i care? meanwhile, i am still waiting to see golden compass. i have what, ten more days? *sigh*
