And the competition moves to Parramatta! Which is surprisingly quick to get to from Burwood...
It was Harry Potter themed because one of the guys in the team was named Harry. And I think he actually did a lot of the cooking. Impressive dishes... lamb (overcooked), chicken (ironically undercooked) and giant prawns for main with salad and potato hash (which was described as looking like "concrete" from a fellow teammate of mine... LOL. Yes, this competition is taken uber-seriously. There is a plaque at the end and this is the 3rd year they have done it!).
And soups, scones, chiffon cake, brownies, jelly, salad, bread, fried cronuts, strawberries and mini M&Ms for entree. Are you confused yet?? The idea behind the theme was to make it look like the Harry Potter movies where the long tables are just flowing with food. It kind of worked but all the sweets things for entree was a little strange!
Dessert was a rendition of Black Star's Watermelon Cake. It wasn't quite right but looked really pretty nonetheless. And the granita was really good. And to think Joyce did it all.. impressive!!! Like a mix between lunch and High Tea is what they called it. I am sooo going to try and make her Earl Grey Chiffon Cake.
I think most of us were more excited about watching the actual movies - we watched the last movie and Goblet of Fire. Ha ha ha... Cedric... Cho....
Then we youtubed bad lipreading and karoke-d Let it Go a few times and some other random stuff. Made for a great, relaxing afternoon. I think we were really noisy though. It was like.. someone would say something and it would get shot down and the volume would just rise and rise and rise until we were shushed again. hehehehe. They are a really crazy bunch.. who would've thought?! Different to my bunch but probably not so different in many aspects. I would say there are more dynamics in play here.
