It took a year, but we have kind of got a regular climbing thing going now. We usually go late Saturday morning with a few friends and then go out to lunch afterwards. This weekend we tried The Pie Tin, which we have only heard people rave about. It lived up to the hype. They have traditional Australian savoury pies with mince or steak, but they also have more modern/fusion ones like mac n' cheese with spinach and pumpkin, duck, spiced lamb, lentil, etc. The crust is just perfect, which I think is what sets apart a mediocre pie from an amazing pie. On the side you can get a choice of salads or chips (fries) or kumara chips. Kumara is a fancy word for sweet potato, and they are delicious. They also have a ton of sweet pies for dessert, like whipped lime, tim tam, snickers, oreo, lemon meringue, etc. They are all also picturesque and delectable. We will definitely be going back to the Pie Tin. Between eating there and the Bourke St. Bakery, I'm gonna need to climb, run, and bike more. Worth it.
After lunch we went to see Avenue Q at the Enmore Theater in Newtown. It was an impressive display of puppetry, and of course it was funny. I suppose this was the most American thing we did on the 4th, other than over-eating.
We ended the long day with dinner at our friends' place at Bondi Beach, which included playing some classic Pac-Man, tasting homemade crackling, and discussing terrible riddles.
Happy Independence Day!
