Brisket Wars II

Well, this time we did score cards and everything and it was still a DRAW!! Everyone was very diplomatic and we did not let on who's was who's but it was very interesting that I only really cooked mine for 6 hours (2 hours smoker/1.5hrs pressure cooked/2 hours smoker) and got a similiar result to Mr Mae who did 20 hours in the smoker....hmmmm....





Edamame and Roasted garlic dip

Tangy Coleslaw (no mayo)

Newtown Food fair

So today was the Newtown Good Food fair and it was a gorgeous, warm day. We thought we were being tricky by getting there at 1130am (it opened at 11am) but we only got a few things before the queues were ridiculous. Ended up getting sushi on the way home!
However, what we did have was lovely and it was great to try stuff from places I haven't been to before. 

The Sausage surveys the scene

This is a sculpture by a local artist, Will Coles, he is one of our faves and he's quite subversive...

Polents chips with Blue Cheese sauce from Mary's

Fresh Sydney Rock oysters with apple ponzu dressing from Osteria Russo & Russo

The behemoth smoker from Mary's

Po'boys! Unfortunately the queue was too long for this one and I think that once you've had a NOLA po'boy, everything else just pales in comparison... 



Ham hock croquettes from Russo & Russo

Haloumi and watermelon salad


Babushka!



Piroshki from Izba








Robot dog, there are three of these in my area

Mak Mak macarons!

The Bacon, chocolate and raspberry macaron topped with pork floss from Mak Mak-DELISH!

One of the Animal's animals...

Fun in the sun


The Sausage with his new mate Wanda who was a dachshund/Staffordshire terrier cross....so cute!


My mother only allows me to take 'non-posed' shots of her...so she looks a bit strange...
