Oh my gosh, this cake sounds just like heaven with the olive oil, citrus and sherry. I must make it soon, good excuse or no!

Waking up in my hostel and saying to my friend, “We’re going to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef today!”, hiking to the point where Steve Irwin died. Driving on the left side of the road and having a wallaby run across. Stopping to see wild koalas lounging in the tree, so close we thought they were animatronic. Sadly recounting that the only kangaroo I saw was dead on the side of the road. Saying “TA,” trying to fit in, but feeling ridiculous…even if it is custom there.

My memories can be thought of as stereotypical – kangaroos, koalas, the Great Barrier Reef…but God gives everybody 24 hours in a day and I felt the way I experienced them were unique to me in ways that only I can remember.

Balmain Bugs..reason enough to travel the 21 hours from NY to Sydney again…sauteed in shallots and olive oil, with lime..overlooking Manly Beach on an Australian summers’ day in February a few years ago…besides the sunny disposition of the locals, it was an amazing travel/food experience…watching surfers at 6pm…as the sunset, and finished the meal with a Pavlova…but the Balmain Bug, that local Sydney seafood delicacy is my favorite Australian memory!
