And Some More Pictures From Our Holiday

This is Nikki's Restaurant on the foreshore at Onslow.

Hubby had dinner here when he attended a regional meeting at Onslow recently and raved about the food. I'm not sure that it wasn't just being in a restaurant, eating food prepared by someone else, without kids, that made it such a pleasant experience LOL. Anyway, he said we had to have dinner there while on our trip. We shared Garlic Prawns and the Dip Trio with Turkish Bread as an entree. I'm not a big fan of seafood but the prawns were delicious - they were in a creamy garlic sauce that was to die for!! The dips were pretty darn good too, especially the sundried tomato one. Offspring #1 was most impressed with both entrees and matched up bite for bite. Offspring #2 had eaten before we left for the restaurant and I had crackers for her but she also snacked on the Turkish bread and made her current favourite sound (beside high-pitched squealing - is that a girl thing??) mmmmm...mmmm to signify her approval.

We both chose the fish and chips for main course, this came with a salad bar type-affair and we ordered just salad bar for #1 knowing that he would eat half of my dinner (all of which was suggested by our very down-to-earth waitress). The fish was freshly caught (as you would expect in a fishing town!) and it was nice but I kind of wished I had chosed the sirloin - if only because nice meat is really hard to get in Red Dirt Central. Offspring #1 ate his body weight in chips, tried some of the salad and then declared he was too full for the fish. Funnily enough when my dessert arrived he suddenly had enough room for "just a leeeeeetle taste". The cheesecake was very obviously made in-house. Good in one way - not one of those boxed cheesecakes that look great but don't taste nearly as nice, but it was very similar to a cheesecake that I make so wasn't quite the treat I was anticipating. Still a nice way to finish a meal though.

And here are some pics of the beach and the foreshore itself.

That is pretty much it for the Onslow pics so tomorrow I will actually have to come up with something to write about. Yikes!
