Stuff white people like

One of our favourite gags to pay out on ourselves is to say what we like or what we are doing belongs on the list of "Stuff white people like", which is totally accurate and totally funny.

And on Saturday we had a total "white people" day. After yoga (tick), we went out for breakfast (tick), then to the farmers market (tick) to buy some organic produce (tick), with me wearing a scarf (tick) and gumboots (tick), then we came home to watch mad men (tick).
But hilarity aside, the farmers markets are totally cool. It's right near my work, and sets up the first Saturday of every month. It was windy, rainy and cold on Saturday, but it was still chockers! Perhaps this explains why...

Fergus Henderson of St John Restaurant fame was in town for the food festival, and the pig on the spit was in his honour. I'm pretty confident that's him in the middle ground gesticulating. There were a bunch of rock star chefs all cooking "nose to tail" pork. Needless to say, we undertook in the adventure. One pigs head terrine later, we were still cold, but happy.

I'm not one for fancy advertising logo's, but confronted with one so convincing as "eat more venison," I am helpless. And the guy selling the venison was really "farmer wants a wife" country cute, and I was all "oh, really, tell me more about the venison - I'm going to make a pie, what would you reccommend?" So we have a venison leg with which we are going to make the pie we made in NZ, and last night we had venison sausages with fennel and chili, and they were great!
