Thanks to the Fields and Sara

Back in March, we had a visit from my Aunt Cathy, Uncle Mike, cousin Christopher, and his lady friend Sara.  By we, I mean me.  Duty called and unfortunately LT was pulled off on a trip to Germany.  But despite a quick visit, hopefully I was a decent tour guide and the Fields (and Sara) had a great time.  A few of us hit the massive Queen Victoria Market to pick up some veggies and meats for an at home feast.  Meats included two kangaroo loins, kangaroo sausage, crocodile sausage, barramundi, and blue grenadier.  We also put some kilometers on the old legs hoofin it all over the city, checked out the Imax special on Australia, and did the Hangman's Tour of the Old Melbourne Gaol.  They then headed off to Lord Howe Island, an isolated sparsely populated island in the South Pacific where I'm certain boredom ensued.

You may ask yourself, self, why hasn't this visit been on the blog?  Well as it turns out, Christopher is photographer.  As a result, I was incredibly lax in my duties and have zero documented evidence that they ever stepped foot in this fine country ... until now.

A hideous package arrived at our residence not too long ago.  The significance of the exterior packaging technique was lost on me until the contents were revealed.  We received a good ole' 'Merican redneck care packaged, with a few other useful items and some images from the visit.  Contents included a couple of redneck coasters, Cackalacky sauce, bacon peanut brittle, and creamy honey with chocolate.  The latter, actually not too bad on french toast.  An astute observer noted all of our pictures of friends and family are carefully laid out sans picture frame.  The frames will be put to good use.

Thanks so much for the package and it was great to see you guys.  Love to have you swing by again next time you're passing through the area.

Sealed with duct tape.

Never know when that snake is going to show up.

Some fine eats.
