Hi Kevin Great to see a young person that loves to cook. This is a wonderful informative website and you will pick up some great tips along the way. Happy cooking. Happy New Year. Cath

Damper Dip. It is New Year's Eve here so I am making it to take for tonight before the bbq. Damper Dip - Huge bread roll cut out and fill with hot sour cream with melted cheese and spinach and french onion soup mix. You peel off a piece of the crust and dip it in the sour cream mixture. Yummo -...

Cold, overcast and stormy and 22C (around 80F) - I know this is not the usual weather report but there is nothing normal about this country's weather at the moment! For all of you under tornado watch, take care!!

Great to hear you are ok Attie, my BIL was in Mackay a couple of weeks ago for work and he loved it. Pen, you take care! Les, we are all thinking about you here. The public and corporate Australia have raised nearly $40 million dollars to aid our bushfire victims and this is climbing every...

Finally, we have caught up with the rest of the world and now have No Fat Greek Yoghurt. Would anyone have any yummy recipes or ideas that they could share. I have a couple that I have copied from the Food Network on Foxtel. I am a little hesitant about using it as you would a full fat...

Barbara On Fox, one of the young presenters in Melbourne said it had cooled quite considerably in the city but they were experiencing a dark orange haze over the city from the winds dragging the smoke south. They are near a town called Whittlesea and if you log on to www.whereis.com.au it...

Hi All I haven't posted for quite a while but Bilby and I keep in touch and she keeps me updated and thought I would drop in again. I know most of you are going through a severe cold snap at the moment but today according to the Weather Channel we are officially the hottest place on the...

I just had to get on here and tell you we are basking in 34 degree heat (90F) for the first time in 6 months. Beautiful blue sky, slight breeze and great beach weather. Goodbye winter, hello bbqs, cold beer and beef. Now this is the aussie lifestyle we love!!!

Never really made meatballs but I love them.... so I was just wondering, how much milk to use?

Oh, Katie, having to go through financial worries when you are still trying to deal with your loss is highly stressful and worrisome. As Attie said above, it does make us appreciate what we have here, even if it is slow. I will never complain about having to pay my medicare levy on my tax...

tks buckytom I can just taste them now!! cath

Hi Attie, I was reading this thread and have a question that you may be able to answer for me. My DH and relatives love cooked green prawns but I can't stand the taste of them - as Jeekinz said they taste fishy - but I can eat kilo after kilo of cooked prawns from the co-op or supermarket...

Ok need some help here. Picked up some whole squid rings on special and on previous occasions I have crumbed, pan fried and battered. Was wondering whether anyone had any different ways of making squid/squid rings mouthwatering??:chef:

Got, I made this last night, it was sooo easy and OMG - it was fantastic. Husband licked the plate dry. I served it with Basmati rice, made the marinade into a reduction and added a little cornflour and served with steamed peppered veges. It was absolutely lovely!!!! tks so much

stassie, tomato sauce chips are good too!! cath

Hey Blake From a fellow NSW'er, I wonder what it would taste like with Hamish and Andy's new Gravy flavoured potato chips or even the "The Works" chips, might bring this to the attention of my husband tonight whilst Friday night footie is on - already have the chicken out defrosting. For all...

Redkitty and Kadesma, can I come to visit - its too cold here, 10 degrees celsius and freezing - only my big toe is going out that door tonight although the ducted at 24 degrees is helping the rest of me to acclimatise (not sure if that is right). My sister has a french exchange student...

Sorry I have been away for so long. Knight, we have vegemite in our emergency medical kit!!!!

Hi Katie I have been offline for a few weeks due to work commitments and couldn't believe what I was reading - I am gobsmacked! Buck was a wonderful man (i can tell not only from the way you spoke about him but how his family rallied together - a well respected husband, father and community...

$7.42 per gallon US For all of the aussies on the thread, I equated it yesterday and it works out to be US $7.42 per gallon for us at $1.65 which is what I am paying here at the moment. The fact that the price can change by 15c in 5 days is what irks me.

LP, Coles and Woolworths are our two main supermarket chains in Australia. I can understand why you got a chuckle, it would be hilarious asking for breadcrumbs in a bookstore. Cath

Chilled Baileys on Ice. Yummy!!

That is totally addictive. I certainly will not be showing this to DH, I have enough trouble trying to get him off the Trivia console on Foxtel!!

How many men does it take to lose a fish. Answer: 4 One to throw the line out, one to hook the fish, one to take the hook out and one to lose it over the edge of the boat whilst cleaning it. This was the result of DH fishing day yesterday. His uncle threw the line, DH caught the fish, FIL...
