The markets here are quite amazing. We live within about 5 miles of a really good one called Rocklea Market. It's a lot of fruit and veg, baked goods, and lifestyle stuff. There's a huge food court with all kinds of international fares. I wanted to try everything...and pretty much did. Saturday morning we all just rolled out of bed and headed for the market--jammies and all. We picked up our weekly fruit and veg, bought a bunch of yummy Lebanese bread and dips, enjoyed some funky Peruvian tunes (live entertainment) and ate some yummy Spanish omelettes and pofferties!!!! Ok who is the genius chef who came up with these tasty little devils? They are like mini, puffy, Dutch pancakes--served with maple syrup and icecream....SERIOUSLY? One of those dishes you wish you would've never tasted because now you'll be craving them every Saturday morning! Oh Pofferties how I love your light, puffy, yumminess! And how I hate that I can eat millions of you in one sitting!!! Our cute boys (Park and Lex) picked up a bunch of beautiful daisies for us at a flower stall to surprise us. They were all different colors. It was a perfect morning!
After the markets we decided it was time to venture North. We were ready for another Beach Day! I'm turning into true Brisby here...complaining like a local that we have to drive an hour for a good beach! An hour??? (Puh-Leaze!) We had heard that most locals prefer the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast because it's less touristy. We ended up at a great spot called King's Beach. We had a blast. The waves were awesome. Got some good boogy boarding in, sand castles built, frisby thrown and may I just say...I love sitting on my beach chair and watching my kids play? I know it sounds cheesy, but there is just nothing better. I love our beach days. I don't know that I will try surfing (although I'm not opposed to giving it a go) but boogy boarding is so much fun and my kids are entertained for hours with the waves, the sand and the shells. WE LOVE THE BEACH!

I just got up and I am so hungry, your post has me craving pofferties, YUM!
ReplyDeleteLooks so fun! Our friend for Aussie land introduced us to waffles with ice cream and syrup. Pretty good! We wish we could enjoy your beach days with you!
ReplyDeleteHey -- glad to see you are enjoying the beach -- and the water!!! You've never been real keen on the swimming part - but I know you always loved a sandy beach, some warm sunshine and a good book -- looking up every now and then to watch the kids. Good days for you -- and I would be pretty anxious to try some of those "pofferties" -- Sounds like my kind of breakfast.
