Went to the food show at wellington westpac stadium. Went there on the last day and early to avoid the crowds.
No such luck, it was already crowded by the time I got there. Impassible crowds at most of the stalls I wanted to buy things from. Mainly because they were all providing tasting samples so the stalls were all blocked off by people queuing for the free food but who obviously didn’t intend to buy anything; annoying.
I went in with $310 in cash intending to keep buying until it ran out. Only managed to spend $70 before I got sick of fighting the crowds and left… and $40 of what was spend was on a year subscription to cuisine magazine, as it came with a carry bag I wanted to carry what I got with the other $30, which was pointless as I skipped over the text on the sign stall saying it came filled with goodies so there wasn’t room in it anyway.
Probably 25% of the stalls (or more) were wine/spirit stalls this year which was a bit disappointing, although I would have happily got some bottles of some of the spirits… but they were giving sample tastings as well so were of course unreachable as well, probably be a few drunks driving home from the show.
Well I have some cash left over I can use to buy another 32Gb microsim to keep as a spare in the car, as I had to use the spare I had in the glovebox a few weeks ago when I dropped the one I was using prior by stupidly trying to put it back in the drivecam without looking so of course I missed and dropped it. Black microsim, black car seats, black car carpets, I will never find that; so opened up the spare then, need a new spare.
Could spend the rest on lots more rubbish bags to cope with my cooking attempts I suppose; thats where most of my cooking ends up :-)
