Things We’ve Consumed (a.k.a., stuffed our faces with) in Australia

• Flat whites (very common coffee with steamed milk, I don’t know why but in Oz, the coffee tastes better)
• Lift (lemon sparkling soda)
• Meat pies
• Spinach rolls
• Coffee milk (small carton milk with coffee in it – also comes in chocolate, strawberry and sometimes banana)
• Passionfruit pop, yogurt and frozen yogurt
• Fish and chips
• Delicious Thai and Indian food
• Queensland King prawns – Simon de-headed and peeled them for me, my hero
• Good sushi at the mall with the cutest soy sauce in tiny, fish-shaped bottles
• Kebabs also from the mall (or, the “shops” as they are called here)
• Lamb roast with garlic and rosemary
• Christmas pudding (spiced cake with dried fruits soaked in alcohol) with ice cream and custard
• Peppermint and double chocolate Magnum ice cream bars
• Two traditional Jordanian dishes prepared by my SIL Ola, so yummy!
• Bacon and cheese rolls (Liam’s new favorite)
• Chocolate mousse cake
• Finger buns with frosting and sprinkles
• Tim Tams
• Milk bottles (white gummy candy that tastes like a marshmallow)
• Oodles of Cadbury chocolate
• Countless cups of Lipton Yellow Label tea (anyone who went to K-stan with me remember this? Tasting it brings be back there every time)

I’m sure I’ve forgotten something, but not intentionally… we are certainly well-fed and preparing ourselves for the detox, diet and exercise that will be in our near future when we get back to the States.
