I made a tasty risotto with the rice and bought some leeks to go with it. The only downside was that the chicken stock came out a little salty, but it was still good (it just took forever to make). I also used the last of my pesto to make broccoli green bean pesto pasta.

When I went to Manly on Tuesday I succumbed to a candy store and bought some funky chocolates with honeycomb, coconut, and macadamia nut brittle. I also tried a “fish cocktail” at the fish and chip shop, which turned out to be a good chunk of fried fish for only a AU$1.50. 

Then on Thursday I went to get ice cream with Ting, a Taiwanese girl at the hostel. It was such a good place, I wanted to try everything! I tasted the poached figs in marsala flavor, which was really good, but in the end I had to go with pear and rhubarb. I want to go back to try the other flavours…

I made an awesome curry Sunday night using the chick peas, carrots, potatoes, and my supply of curry powder that I found early on. It was particularly tasty with yoghurt and raisins, and I've been eating it all this week - yum!
