Names and Reviews of Non-TMX Cookbooks

[Mama Fergie]

It was most likely me kt2 as I called a few times before someone finally answered
I got them Hally and picked up a pressure cooker book down from 40 to 12 dollars. kt2 I got the Valli Little  one too 
It's Quick and Easy Pressure cooker which is better than the silly little booklet that came with the machine.
Still want the AWW and Suzanne Gibbs PC books. But 12 dollar one will start me off although in this heat hot food not appealing.

Went into Metalicus and saw a top I liked down from $129 to $79. Thought about it then on the way back to the car GD 16 told me I should buy it. Went back took it to the counter and it scanned at $39 so I bought another one in a different colour so got 2 for $78.  ;DVery happy

Good thing you went back MF - great shopping for you today.

[Mama Fergie]

It was a very good shopping day GD all thanks to Cookie   
Was 43 on the way home JD so a shopping mall was a good place to be today 

[goldfish]

wow MF  . . . don't know how you're all coping with that continuing heat!!

[Mama Fergie]

This is when I appreciate aircon and couldn't be without it GF.
Don't know it's hot until I step into the garage or go out the front door and it's like opening the oven door when it's on high heat fan forced 
Way too hot to be comfortable

Great shopping MF

Love metallicus too

We have no air con in the holiday unit

Rang around a few places today to have lunch in air con.

Were originally seated in an area where the air con didnt reach, complained & we were all set up in the pruvate dining room where we stil are & its lovely & cool. Great service.

Some man came in & complained his area wasnt as cool as ours. Going to tip the lovely lady $20 for moving us, turned an uncomfortabe lunch into a lovely lunch.

We have to leave soon, been here 3 hrs boys are good & we are all cool, & to top that our bill was under $200

Miss our refridgerator air con at home

You were so lucky getting moved  to a private room Hally   It has been extremely hot here in Perth nd today the hottest  
Yes refrigerated air con is the way to go for sure.  
Have you got evaporative cooling in the unit or nothing?
Do you get the sea breeze coming in?
Yes shopping was good and Metalicus a real bargain for me.
Saw a lovely pair of heels in nine west but had no time to try as GD 16 had to be home to shower and change to go to work poor love .
They will still be there on Thursday  
Where did you end up for lunch?

[Halex]

I think we were moved as I rang especially to see if they had air con. Capel Vale winery, loely food.

No air con here at all, fans that are about to take off!! Or chop off bdy parts

Having a quick lie down, then back to the pool.

Thank you once again MF

[Mama Fergie]

I haven't been to capel vale winery so must go there for a meal next time we go down south, hopefully soon 
Oh no pease don't lose any body parts sleeping under a wonky fan 
Cloudy here now and a bit cooler I think.
Don't know as inside but seemed cooler when I drove Alisha to work.
Enjoy the pool.

Love Valli Little Home cooking book. She gave me a lift from a lunch and I discovered she is such a lovely lady. So now I am a Valli Little groupie!!!

[Mama Fergie]

I always buy Delicious magazine and love Valli Little's recipes courton. 
Must be so nice to be a groupie LOL
You are very lucky to have met her and this book looks really good

[mcmich]

You got a bargain MF. Love Metalicus.

I bought this book today. I still haven't reviewed my Christmas books but that is a work in progress. 
This book What's for Dinner by Michele Curtis looks excellent. It seems to cover everything. It's a soft cover book, has 296 pages and photos for each recipe.
It has sections on soups, pasta, rice, stir fries, on the grill, on the stove, in the oven, one pots, salads and desserts. The blurb says it has over 220 recipes with more than 50 variations. There is also an extra section for sides, sauces and dressings.
I haven't made anything from it yet, but will do so in the next menu plan. (Wednesday).
For $10 at the ABC shop I think I have a bargain.

Had to do a bit of ringing around to get the book yesterday. Have the book on hold in Perth will be going into the city tomorrow to pick it up, if anyone want me to get them a copy let me know, they have a few copies left.

[judydawn]

I'd love one Jen, even with postage it has to be cheaper than I've seen anywhere on line.  If you can get me one, great - if they are all sold by the time you get there, no problems 

[Halex]

Never heard of Vali Little.
