Australia Day weekend highlights:

  • Took dog to Red Bluff, just to have a look around.

  • Hit USA Foods for some salad dressing, key lime juice, and a Dr. Pepper.

  • Used the key lime juice to make Australia's best margaritas.

  • Took the dog to walk along the Yarra, around the Abbotsford Convent, which included a pass by the Collingswood Children's Farm. Laika was very interested in the sheep, cows, and goats, but didn't freak out, which was a good sign for the sheep herding clinic we want to take her to.

  • Ice skating at Waterfront City.

  • Ethiopian food at African Town.

  • Chicken wings on the barbie.

  • Bought a bag of lentils from an ethnic food store. Marjorie warned me they would expand when I cooked them but I didn't believe her. Ended up with three big tupperware containers of them, and tossing out a fourth. I'm not going vegan or anything, I'm just looking for excuses to eat more hot sauce.
