The lunch

Early morning (8am) we went into town with the bus to find out what that was like in preparation for my first working day on Monday. It went well but I have to say that there's a school holiday on this week so no kids. We'll see on Monday I guess...

We made an early trip to the Central Market. here Nicole is browsing vegetables in her favorite asian grocery store.

Later in the morning, after we'd been at home for an hour again, we drove into town. Walking out of the parking garage we saw Adelaide's only solar powered bus getting juiced up. You hardly hear this bus, it's wonderful.

We were meeting Michelle and Stephen for lunch. While waiting these 2 asian girls walked past wearing typical asian-girls outfits. My luck of course that there's a bloody pole in front of the right girl...

Special addition: The Bocconcini.



The following 4 photo's are made especially for my 2 fellow guild members from World of Warcraft called Badooga and Wilhelmina.

Preparing the bocconcini. It's just very thinly (and I mean THIN) sliced prosciutto wrapped around a bocconcini cheese. Put them in a tray after greasing the bottom with olive oil.

Put it in an oven at about 200 degrees C and wait about 5-7 minutes (I think) until the cheese starts to melt.

When the cheese start to seriously melt, get it out of there. You want the cheese to stay chewy.

Drizzle some olive oil over the bocconcini's and add some oregano to your liking. Eat while they're hot!

The bocconcini

Today I finally made bocconcini myself. Next to carpaccio, this is my favorite starter. I made it in our little and portable but very capable convection oven.

It's basically little bits of bocconcini wrapped in prosciutto. Before putting em in, just oil the bottom of the pan a little bit.

Don't make it too hot in there or the prosciutto will burn. After a while the cheese will start to melt and white liquid will come out, that's when they're done.

Quickly put on a plate, put some black pepper and oregano on it and a little bit of olive oil and eat! Hmmmmmm.
