Friday (yesterday) we went to town intending to replace our hotplates which got wet out in the rain on Wednesday night. We ended up coming home with the hotplates and a small turbo oven that Im very excited to have. I've missed my roasts, jacket potatoes meatloafs and casseroles and look forward to cooking some soon-it's leg of lamb tonight to christen it!
Last night we went over to Dave and Jules' then 9 of us including the girls went out to an amazingly great Thai restaurant just down the road. It is called Chiang Mai Thai and if you are ever in the area of Nobby's Beach, go and try it out. We all ordered a different dish and I don't think you could fault one-the flavours were outstanding. We skipped entrees and we had pad thai, chicken larb, garlic pepper duck, spiced pork, cashew garlic prawns, green beef curry and crispy skinned BBQ duck along with plain and coconut rice.
Today is Saturday. We've been wanting to take the boat down to Murwillumbar and beyond so decided today was the day. I made some lunch and we headed off. It's a fair way in our tinny, but the new motor meant we travelled the 25 or so ks in about 1 hour 15 minutes. We went couple of ks beyond the town then turned around and pulled in to a public wharf where we sat at a picnic table and ate our lunch. It was a lovely day on the river with houseboats, water skiers and a heap of competition fishermen out. On the way home we stopped for a fish and caught our dinner for tomorrow night-7 real good fish-and we could have brought more home but let them go. That's the best and easiest result we have had for ages.
