Lovely Sunny Sunday

There is a small food court in an unpopular shopping complex in Maroochydore.  There are probably only around 6 eateries there but one is a Thai place which does extremely nice good sized meals.

An Aussie guy is the front man but the cooks are all Thai.  The food is excellent and the servings spicy and tasty.

They do a Thai version of my Malaysian favorite Char Koay Teow which is great.  The Pad Thai is excellent as well.

We went to this place for lunch on Thursday along with Peter (from Computer Club) and Cheryl his lady friend.  Peter loves spicy food and is a a keen cook himself.  He just loved the food at this place and we had a very enjoyable hour or two together chatting and eating!

At the end of the meal no one was hungry.

We had arrived in Maroochydore around an hour earlier so had time for a little looking around the some shops.  Trish said she wanted to look at 'Toaster Ovens'.  They were less expensive than we thought.

The oven at home has had some disastrous things happen to it. It seems some hidden plastic wrapper had finished up in the oven and had become crusted over the whole inside.  It was a heck of a job to clean it afterwards but the oven is usable again now.  The oven's door seal has probably gone as well as there is heaps of hot air escaping when it is in use.

Because of hot summers here the oven doesn't even get considered for cooking over the hot times of the year.  The oven is quite large as well and with just the two of use seems a waste.

So we bought ourselves an upmarket toaster oven.  We had some left over roast chicken which Trish heated in the micro wave but she did roast vegies in the new oven for tea last night (Saturday).  So far we give it 10/10.

Being small and light it would be easy to set up outside for any roast cooking required in summer.  So we reckon we have done pretty well.

Arj's latest blog entry is here.

We think they are now in Washington staying with more of Arj's relatives.  There next stop is Hawaii for a week then they fly back into Tullamarine around August 10th.

My new TV box is still being delivered and Chinese tracking has it as currently in Brisbane.  It is usually a day trip to get to this area then on board the next day for delivery.  That means most likely I will get it either Monday or Tuesday .... possibly!
