Food
So you all know that even if I haven't been posting about food yet, I have been thinking about it non stop. I have been so excited about all the food here.
Here are some of the new samplings we've tried.
pikelets - Delicious little pancakes smothered in jam and then slathered with whipped cream. Sophie got to have these for lunch today. It seemed so decadent and she felt like a princess eating them.
fluffies - If you like coffee as much as our relocation manager does, you'll want your kids to feel included in the experience. Today when we stopped for coffee the girls ordered fluffies which are steamed milk foam topped with chocolate powder served in a very small coffee cup. They were also served with some fresh marshmallows on the side.
Orange juice - ick ick ick. Well the juice itself is good but there is so much pulp! I hate pulp and the girls seem to share my feelings. Sophie started scraping her tongue with her nails trying to get the fibrous chunks off. I know it's good for you but I still think it's like drinking oatmeal. Sophie and I walked to the market this morning and found a "low pulp" variety but it still is too pulpy for my liking. I think I'll take Sue's advice and buy a strainer.
Curry - Mmmmm. We had take away from the Curry Club last night and man, it was delicious. I honestly finished mine for breakfast this morning because it's been so long since I've had delicious curry.
Coffee - It's great here and everyone takes such pride in making it. The milk is so creamy and velvety. I am in heaven drinking the lattes and cappuccinos.
Lots more to come. Once we get settled into a place I'll have to start making some seasonal foods with the local produce which seems amazing!

I miss good curries too. These foods all sound so good. I really hope martha and I can make it down there.
mmm....pulp. i think for some of these foods you might need to give us the pronunciation. do you say p(EYE)klets or p(ickle)ts?
Yeah I agree on the pronunciation thing. It's p(eye)klets. Think troll slobbers!
I see you call the curry "take away" rather than "take out" or "to go". You are being assimilated into Kiwi culture faster than you realize.
