crazy storms and kangaroo curry

well we had an amazing weekend full of fishing, swimming, cooking, etc.  sunday evening, as I was cookin up some kangaroo curry and freshly baked bread, the wind started to howl and lighting was flashing every few seconds.  it took quite some time to get the rain pouring down but eventually we got dumped on too. it was really exciting but i am super glad we weren't outside walking at that time. a co-worker was out on the marsh and almost got hit by a tumbling piece of corrugated tin about 7 feet wide and 5 feet tall. yikes! the local bar lost its roof too...happily our place is new and built to withstand a class 3 cyclone or more.  kangaroo curry and bread turned out lovely.  back to the grindstone this week...and it's been a rough one so far. 

more food, broome visit

well it seems that most of our time is spent cooking, eating, and taking pictures of it. I need to join a gym asap! anyway we had a fabulous left over curry dinner the other night with a Mediterranean salad to match. I went down to Broome for work for two nights and got put up in this unbelievable hotel.  While work was pretty busy and I got a lot done and got to see some good speechies down there...I also made time to swim in the beautiful pool there, enjoy some touristy spots, have some great dinners and such. Sadly I missed Emmett's bday - happy birthday emmett!!!!! - and Claire is sorely missed.  Drove back from Broome today and saw lots of weird looking cows, huge termite mounds, and beautiful rivers. Got home and jose made a great meal for us which was really appreciated! Pics still added to the end of the Derby album http://picasaweb.google.com/nicole13/Derby?feat=directlink)
