Brisbane - Adventures in Eating

We once again accompanied Michelle and Tony, this time to the town of Gympie to enjoy lunch with Michelle’s mother Mary and stepfather Ed. Mary and Ed actually live further north in Hervey Bay but we met them halfway. On the way back we stopped at the Ginger Factory where one can find ginger candies, ginger sauce, ginger beer, ginger chocolate, ginger jam, ginger fudge, ginger salad dressing, ginger syrup, ginger ice cream, and an untold number of other ginger products that probably shouldn’t exist. In the evening we had dinner at the home of Lorraine’s friend Robin, who created three different quiches, all delicious, followed by a killer cheesecake. Russell, not recognizing any of the dishes as either meat or potatoes, neglected to partake and instead chose to drink his dinner.
