Farm Living
Last night Stephen and I arrived in Grandchester. Plane was only delayed an hour so we were still in time for dinner. Michael had kindly baked pizza. Salmon was delicious as was the mushroom that Kirstie had been
secretly eyeing off. Sorry Kirstie. I didn't see you looking. This morning we went to Laidley. Laidley is a little village not far from Grandchester. We all strolled through an antique shop unaware that Laidley had its annual show day parade at 11:00. Roads closed for the event; we were impressed. We expected big things. Well big things turned out to be the morning tea as we sat on the verandah of the das Neumann Haus. Lovely wait staff, so knowledgeable. After the parade we all entered the Schulte's Meat Tavern. Imagine meat products of every type all located under the one roof. So excited that I purchased some crocodile. Next issue. How does one present or cook crocodile? Found a leaflet display that offered some suggestions re cooking. Made a few other purchases before heading to Plainland. For the uninitiated that is just a special name for the Woolworths
shopping centre. At Woolworths we made a number of purchases for our verandah picnic. Why the verandah? Scared that the cows might intrude, just a little. Forgot to mention the purchase of a hand fishing line in Laidley as I was determined to go fishing for yabbies. Lunch, AKA picnic was intriguing as we tried other new food products today. One of those was an Italian cured lean beef. This is probably better known as Bressaola. Unusual texture.
