Hi Tony,<\/span><\/p>\n

Living in the tropics certainly has its benefits. Something I\u2019ve always envied. Though we don\u2019t get it so bad here either. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apple season has just finished, but there are still some good late season varieties around. The demand for tropical fruit here is pretty high too. We\u2019re especially lucky, as you know the Vietnamese community is significant here. The demand for tropical fruit and vegetables is high. Though it does seem a little odd when the temperature outside barely reaches double figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still some mangos around, as well as some mangosteens. Most are coming from Northern Territory.<\/p>\n

One of my neighbours grows a lot of his own food, which in itself is a feat in inner city. Only a couple of weeks ago Mo gave us a bag of tamarillos. Fabulous little bundles of sweet and tart goodies. If you\u2019ve never had one, they are a little like passionfruit, but with some flesh. I’m a big fan of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just down the road from us are a host of grocers, butchers and fish mongers. Buying fresh ingredients every day is the way it\u2019s done. If only I didn\u2019t work full time, I could do the same!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re off to the snow this weekend. Finally there is some snow. The natural tendency is to cook huge amounts of high carb food, pasta, etc. but it simply doesn\u2019t get cold enough here to burn that many calories. <\/span><\/p>\n

Balancing a good warming, hearty meal without too many calories is the trick. I\u2019ll let you know how that goes. Either that or I\u2019ll have to ski a bit harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to find some of our thermals.<\/span><\/p>\n
