easter (1 week late)

easter was amazing. i held off posting about it before i got my photos up though... gotta be illustrated!

we popped down to the Queen Victoria Markets on the saturday all together to buy some cheap grub so that we could cook a mega meal for easter dinner. lucky for us, as a result of our laziness, we got the markets just as it was closing and managed to get ridiculous amounts of fruit and veg for ridiculous prices! i was thinking about buying a bunch of grapes when the guy behind the stall thrust the whole crate at me and told me to buy that WITH a crate of peaches for $3!!... we then went on to buy i think it was 5 kilograms of potatoes for like $2 (cant remember the exact numbers now), a tray of tomatoes, 4 punnets of strawberries & 4 red peppers... all together for under $10
when easter sunday came around it felt like christmas or something, we were all so excited and each got a task like peeling the potatoes... chopping the tomatoes etc [just like christmas], and then andy and otto starting preparing the roast

everyone was having roast lamb except me and tanvi who definately got the better option as it ended up being peppers stuffed with feta, broccoli, cous cous and red onion mmmm it turned out amazing
after the main course we had chocolate dips using the fruit that wed bought the day before... i swear iv never eaten so much. this was the reason that i had stomach cramps after the meal!!

look at us all stuffing it in!
