Land Down Under

Australia, 11 years ago. how could i forget that trip?!?! it's winter season and i'm shivering in cold just remembering it.

So many memories...

I got sick..as in colds & flu...my eardrums almost exploded because we flew from Sydney to Melbourne..i wanted to scream due to the pain i felt...

We climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge..at night..below the shark infested waters...

We walked from downtown to the Sydney Opera House..on a windy (hence, freezing) day..

Boxed with Joeys in a mini farm..

Gobbled steak like there's no tomorrow...Aussie beef is gooood.....

One thing i remember the most also is CHEESE. Australia is famous for it's beef & cheese.

My Mom & Aunt bought lots of them, steaks, blocks of corned beef, cheeses, packed it in our suitcases. Tsk Tsk. They didn't think of excess baggage. So we packed it in our carry ons & back pack. imagine this, my cousin & i trying to stand up straight due to the heavy backpacks in our backs. trying to avoid the airline official eyeing us. LOL

Our host, a former neighbor & family friend, gave us this small block of cheese to taste one afternoon. ohhh aahhhh yummmy...it was so good. it's cheese with fruits & nuts in it. but mainly apricots & walnuts. it was so good, we went to the grocery to hoard it like crazy....

After reading about it in Ms. Daphne's blog, i started craving like a lunatic, i remembered the taste of it. salivating like crazy. LOL.

So there i was, getting an S & R membership, good thing there's a branch near us. Congressional Avenue. I bought one, afraid that the taste & flavor is different from the one we ate.

Almost the same, but the one back in Aussie has more cheese in it. and more creamier & yummier.

Should i call Tita Talits and have her send some?!

I wanna go back to Australia!!!!
