The International
Office and school chaplain here at Southern Cross University arranged an Aussie
Sunday Lunch outing for interested international students to spend an afternoon
having lunch with and getting to know a local family. I and another student
spent the afternoon with Michelle and Gary, two lovely locals who cooked us a
fantastic meal! We started (ha! Started…) with prawns (whole shrimp) and
grilled bread. Course #2 included grilled chicken wings, lamb, pork ribs, and a
South African sausage (Michelle and Gary are both originally from South
Africa), a delicious Mediterranean-style salad, rice with veggies, and
to-die-for baked potatoes. It didn’t stop there, though. We finished with
homemade vanilla ice cream and fresh berries. Needless to say, I was stuffed.
They have invited us over for dinner Easter weekend and I may just have to say
yes. I’m finally experiencing four years of college life in one semester and
it’ll be months before I eat like that again. :)
