Festival Season has begun!

WOW, A good week! How was yours?

I had a lovely Sunday in the sun by the harbour drinking with my boys. If you know me on Facebook you probably saw some photos. Came home and went to bed early all prepped for Monday.

I'm not going to talk about work this week - I will just say that it feels as if a weight has been lifted and there is a smile on my face again.

The sun is out and the weather is warming up, festival season is starting up and today I headed over to the Marrickville Festival. It was great being out amongst it with my bestie, who happens to be a Marrickville local, for now. And what is a festival without Festie Food.

Move aside humble shish-kebab,  food on a stick seems to be a Festival Favourite.
Some classic food on stick staples are ice blocks, lollipops, fairy floss, toffee apples and pluto pups. You can get generally them year round and it doesn't have to be a festival to find them.

Corn cobs on sticks has become very popular over the past few years. I am a big fan of this - smothered in butter and salty, chilli sprinkles. yum! And kinda healthy - unless you smother it in salt and butter.

Fruit on a stick - your choice whether you get the big chocolate dipped strawberries or the simple seasonal chopped fruit on a stick. All very yum and again kinda healthy too.

I know - what's so great about food on a stick, you're not telling us anything we haven't seen before. Well today, I saw something I haven't seen before - Chips on a stick!! Sliced potato, lightly battered, deep fried AND served on a stick! How good is that?!

My personal Festival Favourite is turkish gozleme. I love the old turkish women working on the production line of this fried delicacy of the middle east. I think it reminds me of being surrounded by family in a small kitchen for major dumpling making sessions.

Now if only they would put it on a stick!!!

ps. these are my actual photos not like my cheater photo of wontons from last week.
