Bruce was the first person to take a holiday, or more of a staycation in WA. His mum visiting from far north Queensland for the first three weeks of the new year saw them venturing out and about in Perth and also further south to Busselton and north along our coastline.
Cooking Classroom!
The End of Financial Year function was thus delayed until early August. We attended a classroom of sorts – a cooking school. We donned an apron and worked in pairs to prepare a dish and then all sat down together to enjoy our efforts. Disclaimers were given left, right and centre, but it turns out we are all pretty reasonably cooks! The theme was Moroccan and it was delicious as well as informative – morsels of tasty information like where is the best olive oil from and what spices to use to spice up your dishes enriched our experience, and we surprised ourselves when we did sit down to enjoy our delicious meal with a few glasses of local vino. (some of which may have been consumed during the cooking process).
