Food and Wine 2012

 I had another photo shoot recently for another newspaper!! woot woot.
 i love working with these guys, they are heaps of fun :) not to mention, very easy to work with.
i love this shot, because it actually shows you what these guys are famous for, jumping around with instruments ;P 


 Food and Wine show 2012!

This year we went in a small group because everyone else was busy.
Tina, Daryl, Dave and i drove to the city around 10am, got parking and got in only to see this
FREE YOGURT! omg. best thing ever.. walking through the doors of a building to be greeted with free healthy sweets.
this year there was heaps of food sample compared to last year. 
Tina finally tried sashimi!! even tho she hates seafood!!! woo!! so proud :P
 they also had this donut.. and you can personally inject creamy yogurt into it... IT WAS AMAZING O_O
We were able to score 2 for 1 tickets for an Adriana Zumbo show for $30 from the internet.. oh how i love the internet.
but it was a little sad when we found out we were sitting all the way at the end... so we couldnt see much.. 

but then again, the whole show was a little dissapointing because we didnt get to try anything, and he wasnt even that informative neither... 
But lucky us.. when we walked towards the stage to try to take a picture of him the ladies that were sitting on stage because they were lucky enough to be picked out of the 1200 people crowd ended up sharing the dessert with us :)
 Thank you ladies!!!
 Adriana made a carrot cake that is going to be in his stores soon..
it has gold dust on it.. it was really nice, but we could only take one bite out of it before it was overwhelming..
either way, it was better than going out of there upset because we couldnt try or win anything :)
 More free samples!! YUM!

My batteries had actually ran out for both cameras trying to record the show.. so i didnt take enough photos.

The things we ended up buying!
 Rekordering Cider, the best cider ever!!! :) 
i think it was 4 for $20 at the show but the retail price is 3 for $20? i cant remember.
 Maple beef jerky for Dave, his obsession for chewy dry food. $10
 Free weight watches pack. they were handing them all out to people that i managed to score myself 2 bags.
 OMG!! the best!! we were also so lucky here too because they had ran out of the 'sticky date pudding' but while we were being all mopy about it, the lady actually found one and gave it to us for free! so we managed to get 5 for $10 including the magazine and freezer bag :)
 i bought myself a little cancer bear
 Steak knives!! we really needed new ones i cant remember how much this was.. $15? $18??
 2 for $5 tea tins :)

 White hot chocolate! Yummo!!
 Lychee balsamic vinegar, very different and beautiful. 2 for $30
 Free samples!
and the good taste bags, lucky us, we got the good food bag and the other bag for $10 for 2.. which they normally sell for $10 for 1!
 After the show we went to the zumbo store and actually saw that he was selling the V8 cake!! woo!
it was AMAZING!!!! this is one of those cakes that actually shows you why he is so famous..
because its a 8 layered cake.. and every layer compliments one another.. its out of this world. 
 i want to go back and buy more!
