the food edition

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*
