What did I eat on Australia Day 2017?
Before I get to today, I should mention what I did last night. I left work thinking about Australia Day 2017 and what it means for me. There were also thoughts about the chicken wings I had in the refrigerator.
I decided to go with something that would fill me with saturated fat. I had a bread roll which I split and put on the bottom of a large frying pan. On this, I spread some Vegemite and then added some grated Coon cheese. On top of this typically Australian combination, I put my chicken wings and added some more grated Coon cheese.
Breakfast
Overnight I had some weird dreams and as I woke from sleep I pondered breakfast. I decided Iβd have something green and gold for Australia Day 2017, so I went with a piece of toast slathered in golden butter, covered in Vegemite and topped with a slice of Coon cheese. To this, I added a fried egg with a golden yolk and garnished with green spring onions. I put this on a green plate.
Lunch
For Australia Day 2017 lunch I had some lime and pepper chips, a Queensland mango and some lime green lime juice in a glass of water.
Favourite things about Australia
Did you know my favourite state is Queensland and my favourite territory is the Northern Territory of Australia?
Dinner
There is a bit of a commercial tradition for lamb, to be featured so I went with a rolled boneless lamb shoulder that was slowly cooked in the oven at 150Β Β°C (302Β Β°F) for 2Β½ hours covered with aluminium foil and then 30 minutes uncovered. I also cooked a couple of spuds and served it with some peas and corn for a bit of green and gold!
What did I do on Australia Day 2017?
This morning I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and had a coffee.
Then I got stuck into writing and recording a couple of podcast shows for next week.
What did you eat on Australia Day 2017?
Hopefully, you had a good day off if youβre here in Australia. If you live outside of Australia, I hope you had a good Republic Day if youβre Indian and a great 26 January for everyone else.
