Houston, we have a problem.
I've discovered New Zealand Girl Scout Cookies. And they're delicious. And, in typical Girl Scout cookie fashion, somehow the entire package VANISHES in a mere 2 days. :)
In other high fat goodness, I finally was able to try a "World Famous Eltham Cheese Scone". Eltham is a cheese town, complete with tons of farm and a cheese factory (Interestingly enough, the Cheese Factory was one of our changeover points on the Round the Mountain Relay.) Just this spring, the town set the Guiness Record for the World's Largest Scone--- topping the scales at 121kg! (that's 266 pounds! and 1982364928319839 calories) :)
Tasty cheesy fatty goodness! Yum!
In a slightly healthier food udpate, I tried some paua! As I was removing a mole on a patient of mine, we were chatting about what he likes to do. He said he had been "paua-ing" earlier that day. I grilled him on everything paua-related, and as I was putting his bandage on, he said "Would you like me to bring you some?" Of course I accepted! The next day he showed up with a bag full of freshly caught and shucked paua!
They're blue green and slimy when fresh.
All my nurses gave me different suggestions on how to cook them, but I just tenderized the heck outta them with a fork, lightly coated them with flour and pan fried them. TASTY!
And as a bonus, he gave me the shells, too! How beautiful.
So what does paua taste like?
