Watkins Family Farm

WP_20140803_11_33_21_Pro WP_20140803_11_33_29_ProWe made a visit to Watkins Family Farm on the Weekend.

WP_20140803_11_34_09_Pro WP_20140803_11_37_12_ProPeople come here to pick their own Mandarins and Mushrooms.

Basically you pay $10 for a bucket. Fill it up and put it into a bag at the end.

Most people fill their buckets higher than this. But since we took our One year old and had two buckets it would have been a little difficult.

WP_20140803_12_21_41_ProGetting there is pretty easy. Just follow Old Northern Rd all the way until you get to Singleton Road. Be careful on the drive back on singleton rd though. The road barely fits two vehicles, and for some reason – some drivers wont move to the left.

The farm is currently open on weekends.

Jamie’s Italian – Sydney Australia

This was actually my second time visiting Jamie’s Italian in Sydney. However the first time we went, I ended up with a nasty stomach bug just before the night and couldn’t stomach anything.

Skip several months later and here I am.

We started off with the Fried Three Cheese Gnocchi and Fiery Arrabiata sauce. Quite tasty but I wouldn’t be calling it fiery though.

Our second Entree was the Baked Mushroom.  Buffalo Mozzarella and mushrooms surrounded by crispy bread. I think I enjoyed the crispy bread more than the cheese and mushrooms.

For mains i had Jamie’s Signature Porchetta. i.e Pork Belly with Watercress.

I tend accompany most of my meals with salad so would have liked a little more Watercress.

I forgot which pasta dish my partner had for her main. Can anyone help here?
