Hi There, I just went through a pile of random notes and papers on my desk and found a flyer about local herbal teas that my friend Sue thoughtfully popped into my Birthday card in January. It is all about organic herbal teas grown and made in Port Noarlunga South. A huge variety is available for $5 per packet.

We finally have an opportunity to have lunch there after attending the exhibition opening of Aarod's soccer coach, Brian O'Malley at Kensington Gallery. Being a Sunday we could only choose from the Bar menu. See below, and the 100% South Australian wine list.
Aarod chose the King's burger, and we had the SA Iconic Pie floater, absolutely the best pie floater I have ever tasted, superb pastry, rich pea soup, chunky meat pie, delicious. Great friendly service too.
Sunday morning Michael's post surf fry up of garden veg and local mushrooms shared with surfing buddy Tresh.
The Weevils are back with a vengeance...sob....
Poor olive tree number one is getting hammered again by the ruthless munching of these little black bugs. We even bought a new torch (non-wind-up type to make our job easier and make sneaking up on them in the dark a less noisy affair. Last night we caught 5 on one poor ravished tree.Today on my walk I found a saviour - a piece of polyester insulation that these relentless winds we have been experiencing in the last few days had deposited on the fence. Today I make the cuffs to stop the buggers climbing.
Dinner on Saturday night was Phaedra's pork with garden salad and tahini dressing.
Saturday lunch a revelation in simple cooking! shallow fried potato chips with crushed sea salt and finely chopped rosemary out of the garden. Oh yeah... simply delicious on it's own, and heavenly when teamed up with Brad Nott's fabulous tomato relish um um! Thanks Brad - I need the recipie!
