Smoked Trout

Took some of the smoked trout and sourdough that I picked up on saturday and made a bit of a snack for some special guests on Sunday night. Cut the sourdough loaf into 2 slices, each piece into quarters, brushed with olive oil, toasted under the grill until golden on each side.

While toasting, made dressing using sour cream, horseradish cream, dash of olive oil, and s+p. Mix together, then spread onto toasts after rubbing the toast with a piece of garlic. Top with some smoked trout and fresh chives.

Pyrmont Growers Markets

The Pyrmont Growers Markets are on the first saturday of every month at Pyrmont - in the park across the road from Star City Casino. Got down this morning around 9 (its open from 7-11am). There must have been around 100 stalls with everything from specialty mushrooms, trays of fresh figs, gourmet pet food, coffee, venison, duck, lamb, wagyu beef, chilli sauce and goat.

Only had about $40 on me, so had to head back across the road to the casino within about 10 minutes and grab quite a bit more cash. Ended up coming home with:

• Honey smoked trout from Ibor
• 2 Wagyu steaks , 2 wagyu pies from Condobolin
• 2 Lamb shanks (Ladysmith Lamb)
  
• Organic spelt sourdough loaf from La Tartine
  
• Bunch of fresh baby rocket or arugula
• Rosemary for the herb patch on the balcony
• Fresh fettucine & smoked salmon, parsely and ricotta ravioli from Peppe's Pasta
• Sydney Morning Herald with free Tropfest DVD

Will try to make it more often, wont be parking at Star City though (min charge $15), will try to get Rhea up early to join me I think.
