I think I'm going to try the Collingwood markets, and will try to go by bicycle. At elast I'll get some exercise if nothing else! It's about 8kms from my house, but that horrible Studley Park Road hill is in the way... it'll be all right on the way there, but I think getting home is going to be interesting!

Maybe we should move to Adelaide... their weather is nicer...

But I did love Shepparton for its wonderful fruit and vegies, most of the year you can buy them from the side of the road, which is just awesome. Also some of the old ladies up there did a regular "jam/preserve" stall in the mall, which was great too. I still remember their strawberry jam. Delish!

I'd love to make bread at home, but it seems to disappear straight out of the breadmaker... the joys of living with your parents! Dad LOVES bread, especially warm.

Saying that, I went to the Vic markets yesterday and picked up a whole heap of lovely vegies, and had a stir fry last night. Noice. And very very tasty.

Keep up the ideas, if there's anywhere else in Melbourne (within a reasonable distance) that does nice local food, I'd love to hear about it.
