Mab, WOW. That is magnificent.
Cooked marinated chicken wings from Aldi, in my Ninja oven. Ate 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner. Taste tested the Orange, Cranberry and Whiskey Marmalade. Very nice.

Sad news about The Essential Ingredient. I had bought a few things from them when I was in Melbourne.
KAtie I hope you feel better soon.
I had my 6 month skin check. Nothing to be cut out which is lovely but  my neck, back and face have had a lot of burn offs. I’m always amazed at how much the first half dozen sting, then you seem to become used to it for the next 20 or so. 😀😀😀

I heard the essential ingredient were closing too . Alot of older kitchen shops have closed . They had the best of the best equipment as well . Had my new infusion this afternoon.It was ok but feeling it now , they say rest but I’m trying, not a great thing to stop and rst when a thousand things need to be done .

That spice shop is also in Lygon St. in fact it was the first . I also love it. Bought the Australian spices there that I used in the scones I made. They had a recipe card with the spice.

The Essential Ingredient always carried ingredients that were difficult to buy anywhere else. You could also buy 3 kilo bags of Lindt chocolate. I would buy 2 bags. Milk for RAL and Dark for me. They also had a special section for Spanish stuff. But best of all were the Stainless steel baking dishes. Last time there I bought some for family and several for my self.
