Coconut water. Crazy about this stuff.

If you like that...I tried this stuff yesterday, it was water extracted from the Birch tree.
Quite similar, but with a slightly punchier/more citrus vibe.
Apparently holds much of the same properties.
I went to the Sydney Good Food and Wine show yesterday with my two girls and our niece. It happens once a year, it's HUGE. There's...
*Local and international celebrity chefs that perform/cook live, and do signings.
*Existing foods on the market to sample and buy.
*New and upcoming/yet to be marketed foods and drinks from companies looking to get picked up and marketed.
*Kitchen/Cookwear, both existing and newly launched.
*Demonstrations and seminars of things like new coffee machines.
*Alcohol, even if only by sample...one can get SO wasted here if so inclined.
*Produce from all corners of the country, and some from NZ as well.
*Many "deals" done so you get things much cheaper than they'd usually be.
It's like a $20 entry fee to basically get free shit all day.
It's a great day out. Yesterday we spend 6 hours there with ease...got our apron signed by another few celebrity chefs, met a couple of former contestants on some of the shows we've watched that are running their own businesses now, and got my kid her first cook-book, and filmed her meeting and signing with the chef that wrote it.
As for what I ate?
You name it. I didn't drink too much, but tried some nice peach vodka?
SO many food samples.
There was a lot...really, a huge amount of things...I felt so damn stuffed afterwards, and we've brought home a ridiculous amount of food.
It's about the only time of the year I'll actually tolerate a crowd, and we make it a point to go every year. This was our first time in 2 years though on account of the pregnancy and infancy...this one was Rivers first...and we'll be keeping it as a family tradition.
It's good to have been back.
