    Gloomy news

    Sorry to just hear about this Babe. I can relate to this all to well.

    Chocolate Crackles or crinkles

    Interesting link Janet, and you are right - no marshmallow. I have never encountered them with coconut or sultanas or noodles or peanut butter! The copha makes them very sickly and even adults with a sweet tooth usually stop at one (or earlier). The picture is a lot prettier than anything I...

    Lamb chop ideas?

    I like to throw some chops in the oven with some veggies, drizzle with EVOO, balsamic vinegar, honey, sliced garlic, and some dried parsley, salt and pepper, and just bake until cooked thru. Alternatively, we chuck 'em either under the grill or in a fry pan with a little bit of salt on and...

    Thinking of you and continuing to wish strength for you both.

    Pineapple, yogurt, and...

    Can't say that mine ever looked as great as your photo though!! Makes me want to open a can of pineapple now!!

    Mince meat with dried tomatoes

    Is this a known dish that you are trying to recreate or do you just want to make a dish that contains the two ingredients?

    Overdue frozen duck - is it dangerous?

    Over here they could get prosecuted for even offering it up for sale. Take it back and if they don't accept it, complain to the appropriate regulating body in your city.

    A proposed Kangaroo and Emu flavored potato crisp causing some people to be angry...

    Ridiculous!! You can buy kangaroo in most supermarkets and emu pies etc are available on the tourist routes. It has always been a known derision of Ozzies that we do eat our national Coat of Arms! I didn't try any of the proposed flavours - can't say that I even saw any of them on sale! (But...

    Pineapple, yogurt, and...

    I like toasted cheese and pineapple sandwiches. I need protein for brekky. The yoghurt I would take to the office with me for morning tea. But personally, I would be using these ingredients as accessories to my dinner instead - pineapple salsa (with chopped red onion and tomatoes and all the...

    What's been happening in my life (Beth's Story)

    I am so sorry to hear of Rich's cancer, Beth. My heart goes out to you both. I must also say how brave and strong it is of Rich to make that decision. Treating cancer is not always the best thing. Quality of life is so very important. Put us on the backburner until you are ready. We will...

    What's your in-time recipe?

    My quick meals usually involve either potato or pasta or tortillas. A bowl of pasta is very easy to throw together with a can of tuna, tub of tomato paste, cream, herbs, and whatever (suitable) vegetables I have to hand. Likewise, a baked potato in its jacket zapped in the microwave with...

    Like I said GB, life sometimes dictates your actions. And I hardly think not having to put down animals is for my convenience! Right and wrong is the black and white point I already mentioned. I know I am morally in the right with my actions irrespective of the bylaws - and my neighbours...

    Old Venting Thread

    I know, it is such a pain!! I have to make sure that the counters are empty or that everything is pushed against the wall before I go to bed. If I have nodded off though and it is 2am or some such time, I am so tempted to just ignore it but then I think I don't really want to drive the 30mins...

    YaY :)

    ... and my point about events having an impact on your life and your commitments seems to have been ignored. Life is not that black and white. You have to bend with the flow. And as I said previously, things are different in different countries, and I know that I am relatively typical of my...
