ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) is a day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand and is always celebrated on April 25th, so as soon as we got home from Easter we transitioned right into celebrating ANZAC Day. We finally got Susan's meat pie recipe and I sent Nic to the grocery store right away so we could finally use our meat pie maker! I was pretty nervous because Susan's recipe went something like this, "add a bit of this, and a squirt of that" and if you know me I like very specific, " add a cup of this and a tablespoon of that" recipes. Nic and I decided that we were going to just go for it (I mean what could turn out worse than the St. Patty's Day meal, right?). We kept adding ingredients to it and adjusting the mix until we thought it tasted good and then came the inagural use of the pie maker. We were nervous/excited to see how they would turn out and.....drumroll.....they turned out gorgeous!! Then, even more exciting, when Nic tasted them he said they tasted exactly like the ones his mom makes!!! Success!!!
We ate our delicious meat pies with dead horse (ketchup) and watched the AFL game. I also made ANZAC biscuits (they turned out much better this time becaue I found golden syrup at World Market :)) It was such a delicious meal and it was a truly Australian night.
