I love teapots Gretchen. May we have a photo please?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I think that is their intention. They use really good stuff that people end up buying things they see in the coffee shop!

I bought myself the new iPad!!  So exciting, I've been playing with it most of the evening, when I can wrench it out of the kids hands!😄
It is brilliant. Has anyone tried the app just dance 3? It's had us in hysterics!!!

I just read the reviews and all complained about it crashing!

Gretch, fundj's 'cooker' is like a giant Thermos. I've just read some reviews on it and all seem to love it. Here's a link that I found offering free shipping!!

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I had a look at fundj's thingy and it is a great idea but I have no need of anything like it. I hope she gets a lot of use out of it as it was a great buy.

re iPad app. No way. I got hung up on Angry Birds for a while but weaned myself off.

Peters of Kensington, wheres that in Sydney????

In perth we miss out on it all!!

I saw Unis Thermo machine & thought istead of taking a Tm away it might be an easier option.

Bought a cooking magazine to read on the plane.

Its fantastic

$5.95, by Taste. Its a collection of 120 recipes to make in 30 mins. Thoroughly recommend it for the price.

Its called Taste, 30 minute meals.

I have a few of the Taste magazines Hally, they have some great everyday recipes in them. Will have to keep an eye out for this one.

It caught my eye as I have the taste app. For the price it is really worth it. Being on a plane for 4 hours I had a enough time to really look through it.

Hally you think you miss out then come live in Cairns !

Peters is onAnzac Parade Kensington between the university of NSW and the airport  sort of way. You can buy everything on line but believe me the "store" is an experience.not to be missed. I once found a box of Stuary Crystal tumblers on the floor under a counter. They were filthy but the box was marked at $58 so I got  nearly $500 worth of glasses soooooo cheap. Sadly the last one bit the dust not long ago. Tile floors are very unforgiving.

 . . . and Gert says (on Easter Monday) . . . I was having breakfast while Mara was hunting down that egg.

Fresh crayfish steamed in the TMX  melted butter. Pâté with a bit of gorgonzola and fresh red papaya from a tree in a nearby park. Also a glass of campers as it is Monday morning.


 ;D ;D ;D gives a whole new meaning to " . . .come live in Cairns!"    ;D ;D ;D   Love it!!
