Candelo Service Station

Good morning Candelo and surrounds! If you're heading north today make sure you check for traffic warnings, as apparently the highway between Nimmitabel and Cooma is still closed after yesterday's fatal crash. Take care on the roads!

Good morning Candelo and Bemboka! Today's Thai menu is: Pad Thai (Vegetable Fried Noodles), Larb Moo (Pork Salad), Gang Ped G*i Yang (Grilled Chicken Curry) and Khai Lookkuey (Son-in-Law Eggs). When Bevan and Jemal were working in the Middle East the Arabs used to say the Japanese were all going straight to Heaven when they died, because they had invented the Toyota. Well, we reckon the Thais will be joining them because they invented Thai food!

Good morning Candelo and surrounds! It's the last day of winter, and here are some pictures of the frost flowers on the car this morning and photographic evidence of the temperature. (NB: Before anyone comments on the dust and dog hair on and in our vehicle, keep in mind we run a servo, not a car wash!)

It might be only 4 degrees this morning, but the spring blossoms make Bevan's b***y shorts look almost reasonable!

Almost Spring!

Good morning Candelo and Bemboka! Thai has come early this week, and we have Pad Mee (Stir-fried Egg Noodles), G*i Pad Medmamuang (Chicken with Cashew Nuts) and Gang Lueang Pla - Fish Yellow Curry.

Good morning Candelo and surrounds! If you've sometimes found yourself reflecting that if Candelo only had a regular supply of patisserie life here would really be quite perfect, you can stop repining. Tasha, who makes our Thai food on Wednesday, is now making macarons - she actually started last week but before we could get a post up about it, most of them had vanished. We suspected the staff - and sure enough, even though the new batch appeared on James's day off, he must have a sixth sense. An hour after they arrived he did too, and was caught on the security camera checking out the new flavours. Be warned, they may not last!!

Good morning Candelo and Bemboka! This week's Thai menu is particularly tasty and just what you need to warm up a chilly evening!

Remember the line from The Blues Brothers when Elwood asks what kind of music they have at Bob's Country Bunker, and the bartender replies "Oh, we got both kinds! We got Country AND Western!"?
Well, Candelo is like that only more so. The Snow Day is over but we've got bush dances, balls, burnouts and h***y tonk/swing/rock gigs lined up - and those are just the options being advertised down our end of William Street!
