Sausage sizzle

Today we had our first sausage sizzle. That I quickly learned is what they do at get togethers. Today was a 5 year olds birthday party. It was very casual at the part y ou know the normal spread, miniature meat pies, sausage rolls, fairy bread (bread with butter and fully dunked in sprinkles!) And then of course the full on grilled sausages , hence the name a sausage sizzle. Eveything was amazing and so delicious. When asked don't you guys eat sausage at parties we responded no, mostly hamburgers and hotdogs; and might I add there version of hot dog we found at the market is NOT  an American hot dog by any means. But boy don't these Australians know how to throw a party!  Besides the giant 2 tier frozen themed cake and platter of fresh fruit, coolers of beer and wine they had a piñata, water balloons and plenty of play for all the 20ish kids in attendance.  We met so many more wonderful, welcoming people.  We are starting to hear the familiar "ohhh so your the new American family"  or "oh nice to meet you, I've seen you around" at which I think 1) I hope that wasn't a day my kids were being terrible in the store or 2) I guess we are the talk of the town!  Once people see you around longer than 2 weeks its assumed your here for a while.
On top of my new favorite "sausage sizzle" phrase,  there's some other lingo that we have caught on to so we don't look like complete idiots
Breaky-breakfast ( I actually love this one! )
Keen-  you keen to still get together? You keen with that?

Ok side note because my mind is all over tonight, pause on lingo. ...yesterday at the skate park we went to meet some friends,  6 kids between the 3 of us. I brought fruit snacks to share that I had imported over as they are every moms life saver for any toddler or child and they don't have them here!  So anyways, I hand out the bags and my kids go to town and they were like, umm what do we do and what are these. ..they are fruit snacks,in no way are they fruit they are just shaped like fruit and yes they are sugar. ..but they are motts so they are the best kind :-)

Ok.up date over.
