Know of any events that we have missed?

Enjoy your weekend party people. I’ll see you Aerobics Oz-style on Monday.

Here at Eat My Street we love sushi every day of the year! But we are still happy that since 2009, the world has celebrated “International Sushi Day” because even sushi needs a little extra love sometimes.
Try this Cheeki Insulated food jar from Flora & Fauna.
In 2016 Spain declared the third Thursday in June as World Tapas Day, and I say “Gracias.”
Markets
I was very excited to join with Christine from “Our Little Caravan Collective Store” for our first ever Melbourne bloggers supper in December.
