And we ate a lot

This was the first Queen's Long Weekend in about 13 or 14 years where we haven't spent it with our friends in the Blue Mountains. So it was rather different. And we seemed to eat quite a bit. Well a lot really. This is the creamy yet tart lemon tart from Mavis' Kitchen that we enjoyed on Saturday.
A wonderful artisan-style loaf we bought at the Blue Knob markets baked by a local guy. I really want to learn how to bake this bread.
Sunday night's dinner: slow cooked leg of lamb, baked potato, pumpkin, carrot, choko, onion and broccolini
And then this morning (Monday) we had eggs benedict. It's wet and cold here so what else is there to do than cook and eat. Steve made a delicious flourless chocolate and orange cake last night as well.

We've had a patch of really unseasonally cold weather up here. Last Thursday only reached 14 degrees which is very unusual. We were bracing ourselves for flooding as well, but the rain that was predicted didn't eventuate - we've only had about 35mm over the past few days, but we have had the slow combustion heater going, which has made the downstairs part of the house rather cosy.
