      Eumundi Markets

      March 3, 2021 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

      It is a big rainy one today! We took a punt and headed into Eumundi Markets anyway to see how we go. Luckily the rain was holding off as we arrived and we only got pockets of rain. We had one intention when coming here, and that was for market food!!! Market food is awesome. You get small portions of a huge range of cuisines, so you can buy a bunch of different things to share and not actually eat too much!

      On our menu today was dim sum, garlic and ginger beef jerky, fudge (Irish creme, chocolate, Russian caramel and cookies and cream), salt and pepper calamari, Kombucha (leafy greens flavour, Kokoda lime and mint flavour), dutch pancakes with maple syrup, homemade berry compote and ice cream, a potato stick, Japanese gyozas and a banana cinnamon smoothie! Everything is delicious!

      Need to shout out the calamari stand for its to die for lemon and garlic mayonnaise. Everyone knows that I DETEST mayo. But this was divine, unlike any mayo I've ever had. I asked the chef the secret, he was a Brit and he gave me some clues. First up, mix water with flax seed flour. No eggs. Whisked up, then add a bit of apple cider vinegar. The rest he said was a trade secret but that's enough to get me snooping on the internet. Also said Hellman's mayo at Coles is the Brit expats Aussie secret because Aussie mayo sucks Ha!

      Then we headed up to another tiny market accross the road for a breather and it BUCKETED. Luckily we had Cozy chairs to relax in and watch it pour. It's actually lovely, so long as you aren't stuck in it haha!

      Eumundi Market

      November 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      One of the best markets that I have ever been to! It is full of delicious food and amazing handicrafts and unique and quality. One off treasures! I have been here before and Amaze me, how extensive and interesting it is…

      Robyn and I enjoyed some delicious street food from Hungary 🇭🇺 and Italy 🇮🇹 (Wow 🤩…just realised their flags are the same colours, but just different direction of stripes!) We had the best tiramisu from the sexy Venezuelan, who features in the photos 😉😝😘

      I was drawn to a hand painted stone necklace with a Koi fish on it and was tempted to buy it but left it there. As we were driving out of the town we took a wrong turn and ended up back there. I told Robyn it was obviously destiny to go back and buy the necklace. The Koi fish represents prosperity and good fortune and perseverance in the face of adversity! Very apt! Seems like fate drew me back into the town so I could have it! 🐠

      Six years ago today Leanne and I were at Stevie Nicks’ concert out at Rochford Winery and today at the market a pink Kimono 👘 with ‘Stevie sleeves’ with a ripper quote on the back: “Don’t be a lady…Be a legend” …knew I had to let LT know and, sure enough, she wanted it and has even given me permission to do some ‘Stevie twirls’ later today after a few vinos 🍷 if I feel like it 😜😜💃🏼💃🏼

      Great part of a relaxing 🐌
      short break is just to drop anchor ⚓️ lay down, turn the fan on for a cool, refreshing breeze while the birds 🐦 chirp in the trees 🌳 and have a nap 😴 for an hour before surfacing and enjoying some adult libations before dinner 🍽️ 🐌

      Speaking of dinner: take a look at the ribs!
      …Flintstones, meet the Flintstones!
      😳🤦🏻‍♂️🕺🏼🙈
