Rebas' Adventure in Ozzieland

Sorry Y'all, I know I should have written sooner. Last week was pretty boring and this weekend was pretty full. It is Easter break around campus, so not a lot going on with my schooling. On Friday, I went to the Good Friday service at my Church, Curtin Community Church (CCC). They had the service outside on campus in the morning. I had never been to a Good Friday service in the morning before. it was very nice and after the service we had a BBQ! you can't swing a dead cat around here without having a BBQ ( I realize that phase doesn't quite work with the sentence, but I have always wanted to use it, and this is my blog). BBQs are not to fancy, you just need a gas grill, some sausages ( = high quality hot dogs and/or bratwurst), buns, ketchup, and some grilled onions and you are good to go. three points of interest in regards to BBQs. The grill is always gas and it is not a grate, but rather a solid metal griddle. Ketchup is know as Tomato Sauce, and thirdly, there is never any mustard to be found. You can buy mustard and I have seen it on sandwiches, but not on sausages. I was planing on having pictures for this blog, but I misplaced my camera, hopefully pictures coming soon. On Friday night I invited several girls over to have a movie night. we watched Whip It and Garden State. Both good movies, but, as I say, they didn't "penetrate my soul". check my profile for favorite movies. And on Sunday, I ate Kangaroo! That's right I ate it. There are several undergrad students from the states who are here for a term or a year, and we decided to make Easter dinner together. Lorraine (pastor's wife) said that someone had given her some "roo meat" and did we want it? we said yes, because hey, how often in your life do you get the chance to eat free roo meat? One of the girls took our pictures eating it and I will post it later. We ended up making a stir-fry with the meat along with salad and lemon meringue pie, make by yours truly. the meat tasted like elk to me. One of the girls, Mel, commented that it tasted like some kind of game. I agree, it was like wild meat, so it had a flavor to it, but nothing gross. The cut of meat we had been given was very tender and the stir-fry was a success. I guess that is enough for now, I will write again soon, I promise. I love you all Reba
