Best Thanksgiving... EVER!

G'day y'all, I know Thanksgiving has been and gone, but for those of us here down under, we are still buzzing from the excitement of the "best Thanksgiving ever" (I must say that has nothing to do with the fact i have never known when Thanksgiving actually was)! We had a great barbeque during the day, and had a feast including hamburgers, salad, beer, PUMPKIN PIE, and pavlova!

I had never seen Pumpkin Pie before, not even a picture, so i got the recipe off the internet, and got all the ingredients, and made the mixture up. Luckily, we had an American with us, who knew nothing about cooking, so we just followed the directions and hoped for the best. After 40 minutes in the oven, we were still unsure, but after taking it out and letting it cool a bit, we were treated to one of the best desserts i think i have eaten! Ours didn't quite look like the one above, as we used all the whipped cream on the pavlova, but it tasted brilliant! It looked great too!
We decided to give a bit of an Aussie feel to the day, hence the barbeque instead of the turkey with stuffing, and opted for the pavlova as well. It is basically a huge merangue (did i spell that right?), filled with whipped cream, then topped with fruit, although we used chocolate one side, and kiwi fruit the other - to accommodate both types of taste buds.
We had a ripper of a day, and everyone had a great time. We are thinking of making it a weekly tradition, or maybe i just mentioned that on Thursday for fun. Our golf was going to be a weekly tradition too, but we haven't played since our first game!
At the end of the night i dressed up as a cowboy for a minute or two. I had the dry-aza-bone, hat, spurs, and all, but i still didn't look as good as Jim Craig, the Man From Snowy River!

I raced on the weekend down at Glenvale, and feel alright, but i am saving it for the National Criterium Championship this coming weekend in Brisbane. I must add that i outsprinted "the Bus" for my first time ever on Sunday, so i feel fast! I am sure he wasn't trying though!

I was looking at my team mate for next year, Austin King's website, and found this cool link in the comments section, check it out: http://www.glumbert.com/media/carshoot WICKED! We need to do this to all the cars who harrass us while out training!

I am planning on doing an entry about the famous (or some would say infamous) Hell Ride in a few weeks, when i have nothing exciting to write about, and need inspiring. I will try and get a few photos one time while i am doing it, and then it will make the post look cooler. Next week's entry will most likely be about the National Championship crit, where i hopefully win the jersey!

Anyway dudes, stay cool, and i hope y'all enjoyed the Thanksgiving weekend break.

Laters...
