Happy Bogan New Year!
As 2012 came to a close it was time to wear my best mullet and transform myself into a bogan for a New Year's Eve party in Coogee. The trusty One Dip Wonder Mexican Salsa was a hit combined with a huge 1 kg bag of Mission corn chips from Costco for carbing it up. To keep the drinks flowing freely my smart thinking brother bought two 5 litre Willow cooler jugs. One was filled with Hendrick's Gin & Tonic and the other with Frangelico, Lime & Soda — too easy. The 9 pm Coogee Beach fireworks were visible from the terrace while the midnight fireworks at Bondi Beach could be just seen far in the distance. An ankle deep pool was a recipe for frivolity spurred on by alcohol in the true bogan spirit of having a blast to the tunes of Cold Chisel and Gangnam Style. A pop up bar made from crates just that afternoon was bloody brilliant and might possibly become a bar feature at the residence. Late night hungry cravings were satisfied with a good old Aussie sausage sizzle. All in all a very fun night of drinking, eating and more drinking while my parents babysat Isabelle — God bless them.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Catching up with friends for a fun time
CONS: Too much alcohol will give you a bad hangover the next day
MUST TRY: Checking out Costco for monster bargains
