Trinity United Christmas Luncheon

I love these luncheon meals, can you tell?!?

We place our orders at work,earlier in the week, and then the kind ladies from Trinity United in Rose Bay deliver our lunches later in the week!

This one had quite a few people at work taking advantage of the service. And why not? Do you get a thank you note from Subway when you get your lunch? Huh? Didn't think so...



Now the reveal:



Let's see if I can remember, sammiches going left to right:

• Ham and cheese...slice, with some miracle whip dressing.
• No idea what was in this one, but it was delicious and orange.
• Cherry and cream cheese sandwich, b'yatch! Delectable, by all accounts, a crowd favourite!
• Egg salad
• Tuna fish?
• Home made chicken (or was it turkey?) salad, incredible. Ain't nothin' like the real thing...
  
• Rolled up asparagus and....I don't know what it was rolled up with.

And then sweets!

Various lemon loaf/glazed cakes
Cookies
Fudge brownie
Toffee bar?

All topped off with a couple slices of orange cheese! giggity.

I would get this once a week if they offered 'em more frequently. For now, I'll just have to be all whistful while I wait for the next one...Valentine's Day, perhaps?

Thanks for the great eats, ladies!

Moonlight sonata

Couple shots of a gorgeous moonrise over Rose Bay, Dec. 2nd.

Still working out the settings I should use for these low light shots. Next time, use a tripod....

Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on how to improve these shots.

They don't make 'em like they used to...

Not the best composition...my apologies.

I spotted this old timer, did a quick u-turn and got a couple shots off with the telephoto.

Love the doe skin jacket!

Oh, and sweeping the leaves on his lawn is just...sweet.

Words to live by?

I do all three of those things!

I liked everything about this billboard (spotted in the Crappy Tire parking lot)....especially it's ransom note aesthetic! ^_^

Aaaand, done.

Here's the last pic from the Stonehurst patch, hope ya'll enjoyed 'em:
