It was cooked all day and had been marinated with lemons and wine and spices. I don't usually eat lamb very much, but it's big in Australia, and I have had it several times since I've been here. This lamb was really delicious. Along with an entire lamb, we had tons of sides, including several potato dishes, salads, breads, and desserts, the vast majority of which was made by the hostess, Linda Howell, Sarah's friend I met who has recently been to the US and was quickly interested in chatting with me upon learning that I was American. Sarah is a definite carnivore, and has taken much pleasure in telling me several times since I have been here that she hardly ever leaves a steak unfinished. She welcomed the photographic evidence of her lamb consumption last night:
I told her once she cleaned leg, she could use the bone to club her next meal.
Marie and Sam moved out yesterday also. I helped Marie and Joel, their new roommate, move all their stuff from the house while Sam was at volleyball. They are only about 5 minutes down the road by car, around a 20 minute walk, from where we are now. I plan on visiting Marie, since she will continue to have the free time she has had, and I will see them Monday and Thursday nights for volleyball, but I have already noticed the absence.
41 days until my mom comes to Australia! I am really excited! I have most stuff planned out for Sydney, Adelaide, Coober Pedy, Alice Springs, and Uluru. I need to start doing some research of what we will do in Perth. I plan to spend a day in Fremantle and maybe have lunch at the Little Creatures brewery, which was excellent last time I was here.
