G and I came away from our two nights at
Magic Mountain feeling recharged and completely inspired by our hosts Peter and Lily, who treated us to delicious home cooked meals and were more than generous with their knowledge on how to make each dish. We were both fairly quiet on the drive back to the city with our minds full of ideas of what to bake, cure and cook.
G showed me these rocks which had a granite like sparkle to them. I kinda scoffed a bit when he told me you can bang them together to make sparks but when he smacked the rocks against each other there was a distict smell of gunpowder coming off them!
Me reading up on artisinal bread making on the back verandah which looks out onto a golf course.
We got a packed lunch made for us. This is Peter's homemade sub with egg, ham, emmental cheese and pickles. We drove around looking for a picnic spot but the weather turned on us and we ended up eating in the car. It was still delicious!
Market stalls in the small township of Kundasang selling fruits, vegetables and snacks.
Wild honey. Lily told us not to buy it as the locals mix it with sugar.
Ichigo!
We spent some time at a nursery with an impressive array of cactus plants. Check out the enthusiastic spikey fella in the front!
