| The barramundi tasted better after cooking |
This blog is now going to turn into a blog about food. Our little garden has now provided us with chives, lettuce, a huge cucumber, coriander and strawberries. The tomatoes seem to be dead. The chilies are growing. The watermelon radishes are doing whatever watermelon radishes do.

| The pancake |
I cooked a fish today with a bing. The bing is a Chinese pancake that included our chives. Sha gave the dinner high marks! Buying a fish in Eastwood is rather interesting. You go into a small shop that seems to contain about 100 customers. Every shelf is full of fish or squid. Some of the squid are on the floor. You randomly go around trying to pick up fish and then realise that they're very slippery and rather spiky. Then you drop one on the floor or into another customer's bag. Then you get hang on picking up a fish and hand it to a random person who goes off with it for about 30 minutes. Then they give you it back and charge you some ridiculously small amount of money and then you leave.

| Our cucumber |
At this point, Sha takes you to a vegetable shop that has the world's largest vegetables in it! I have never seen a peach so big as the one that Sha bought. It weighs almost 0.5kg. We didn't buy the radish as it wouldn't fit in the bag.
