Yesterday John and I took the train into the Melbourne Central Station to go to the Queen Victoria Market. We were in search of ingredients for enchiladas. We couldn't find a couple of things, but found some good substitutes and dinner turned out to be great.
I think we'll definitely be making it again, as Mexican food is supplied by only one place that we know about. It's called Aree Bah. It's actually just right around the corner from our apartment, but we could sure give them some lessons on enchiladas!
It was a busy day at the market and it gave us a good idea about how diverse Melbourne really is. Fruits and veggies are better priced than they are at the grocery stores, but just barely in most cases. We stopped and had brats for lunch and sampled some of the fruits that had been put out. I had something called a Tazzieberry, which is sort of similar in size, color and taste to a cranberry.
p.s. Why did no one tell us the 2008 Economic Stimulus checks existed and were going to be deposited into our account? We thought for sure the IRS had made a mistake!

Greetings Johnny and Jama
The day at the market had to be another exciting adventure for the two of you. From the picture it looks like you had quite a selection to choose from. Trying new foods has to be an experience in itself. It is Sunday afternoon here and your Dad and I have enjoyed the nice weather outdoors. This morning we went to church and we placed the flowers in the sanctuary in memory of Nana and honor of Memaw. The plant is a Mandevilla vine and the origin is Australia. Really beautiful! After church we got to spend some time with Hank and Susan of course we did this over lunch with Memaw. It was great to talk with you this week-end. Look forward to our next chat.
Love you both,
Mum
Kids-
know you couldn't take your cookbooks. Do I need to start emailing you selected recipes?
love & hugs
Mama
