Dipping a toe in the water

Today was my first shot at an all Ausfood day.

As this is the first cab off the rank in the Ausfood search, you will find certain refinements being made along the way. For example the product verification (proof the product/ingredient used is an Australian product) will be re-shaped into a format that will hopefully not bore the socks off the reader but will still provide accurate verification I am using genuine Ausfood items.

I started late in the day which gave me the sneaky advantage of only having to fit in two meals; breakfast and another meal late in the day to prevent a total collapse from starvation.

The breakfast menu was the usual muesli with some modification (interpret modification as a scramble to find any ingredients that met the Ausfood criteria) Wandin strawberries, Elgaar Dairy milk and Schulz yoghurt. Hurrah for the summertime and berry products readily available.

All this washed down with a cup of Nerada tea/Elgaar milk.

The Other Meal:

• chicken from the local butcher, marinated in the juice of a Woori Yallock lemon.
• Cobram olive oil for pan frying the chicken
• Victorian potatoes
•  Australian green beans

Another cup of Nerada tea with Elgaar milk

I managed the meals around a late start, time at the library and later a tram trip down to the beach at Albert Park.  I also managed to walk past cafes and the ice-cream shop to beat all ice-cream shops in Albert Park and not stray inside any of the doors.This is the down side to the Ausfood eating challenge - eating out is off limits due to the unknown ingredient factor.

At the end of the day I was still a little peckish; however I managed to resist all temptations in the kitchen cupboard and the fridge.  At this rate, by the end of next year I'll scarcely throw a shadow if I stand sideways.


In my dreams......
