MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show! When it's on, we get it 5 days a week. There are TONS of episodes. The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice! The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!

Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :) When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!

When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(

So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha! (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)...

Here's Gary...

Here's George with my friend Amy :)

And my attempt at a picture "with" George :) haha!!

George and Gary with the Bookstore Staff :)

These guys are big stars here in South Asia (and big stars in Australia)... They are super nice :) I love randomly running into celebrities :) (To see other posts about famous people we've run into, click HERE)

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!
