Perth's Gluten Free Expo

Today I went to Perth's Gluten Free Expo at the Convention Centre. I learnt from last years mistake and took more cash this time, which was just as well as I brought lots :)

From Schar I brought: Pan Carne bread, Twinny snacks, Ciabattine bread, Pepitas Cookies and another item called Snack.

From Bodhisattva Bakery I brought: Lemon shortbread and a Choc Orange Jaffa biscuit.

From Confectionary Link I brought: Rocky Road, mud cake and junior mints

From Eskal I brought: a few varieties of pasta

I also brought 2 cook books @ $5 each :)

Carl brought some Cheeseballs and marshmallows, items he loved from last years expo.

I like the expo as you get to try the food before you buy it. There are also guest speakers and cooking demonstrations. I also like that you get contact details for stores and websites so that I can get the food after the expo moves on.

A good afternoon :)

Star & Garter Hotel Kalgoorlie

I was in Kalgoorlie for the weekend just gone visiting family and was taken to the Star & Garter Hotel for dinner. It was a standard looking Kalgoorlie Hotel, full of workmen relaxing after a long days work and of course there was a skimpy that wasn't too badly dressed considering what some of them wear (or not wear). Anyway the big surprise was the restaurant, it was simple but nice, the meals were big and reasonably priced. I had the surf and turf, the chef made me a garlic sauce without any flour and it scrumptious, such a lovely meal. A nice night out and I would recommend it to other people :)
