Arived at Tullamarine today, amongst 5 other planes, too huge ques and a rainy morning.
Along side Sophie, weighed down with 15kgs of carry on and desperate to add to it at duty free, Nat and I met Louise Poultney outside customs for a door to door taxi servous to Trevor and her beautiful home in North Fitzroy.
After ditching our bags we set off for natalies first food market experience. Nothing short of amazing,
• $1 Fresh Quail
• $11 Wild Rabbits
• 111 Varieties of European Cheese
Essential ingredients (cooking store) filled with hundreds of shinning copper pots and cookbooks from around the globe, including 'The Molten Cookbook', was nesseled among screaming vendors and butchers offering samples to anyone who dared walk close enough.
Sophie and Nat found it perticularly amusing that an old greek man choose Valintines day as his marketing ploy for his blue cheese, which was smelt on his breath long before you could understand what he was going on about.
After filling her weary travelers with awsome coffee louise set out and collected all the ingredients for the sunday afternoon paella. Resembaling stragling ducklings we inched our
way through the numerous buther stalls to fish mongers ally. Babby octopus, sardines, blue swimmer crabs, rainbow trout and marron, all fresh, were pilled high on ice in what was a pescaterians wet dream.
Afternoon tea of cheese and crackers was followed by a short nap.
Off to Monash and goodbye to Sophie.
