The Soul Food Van Launches!

Kelly launched the food van at the Organic markets to a thronging crowd last weekend. On the menu were Bircher Meusli, Chai Tea and fruit salad. I was the dishwasher, errand boy and menu designer.

All in all, it went really well. Not huge amounts of profit, but we overestimated the amount of food we needed to purchase. We will have it streamlined by next week. Also we ran out of water for some reason, about half-way through - I was the designated water hauler from the nearest petrol station. Kelly had to get up at 4:00AM to be at the market and set-up before its opening time of 6.

I predict a bright future for the Soul Food Van.

Sophia's 8th & Sage's 5th

This year we decided to have a combined, small birthday party for Sophia and Sage. It was still a lot of work, and next year we may skip parties all together and do something else.

The kids had a good time though on the beach of Tallebudgera creek - with egg-spoon races and rides on the kayak. After the birthdays is the official demarker to put up the Christmas tree. This year we got a real one, but it doesn't look like any kind of Xmas tree that I'm used to. It's some kind of Jurrassic tropical pine - not of this world. For Christmas we'll probably be at the beach again, trying to avoid the heat.
