Introduce Yourself / Re: Just 'slightly' obsessed already:D

Welcome to the forum, MummyAmanda, from another Melbourne owner.

You're going to love taking part in the forum, there are so many recipes and ideas on here you will be kept busy for quite a while.

Great to see the sun again, even if it is really cold - I guess we can't have everything - we've got our TMX's and it is the middle of winter so anysunshine is a bonus just keep cooking and enjoy yourself.

Jams and Chutneys / Re: Making Jelly by steaming

Do you think this method would work with the haws off our hawthorn trees as well?  Last autumn we had masses of them and it seemed a shame not to use them, but they are so small I wonder if it's worth the work?

By the way ladies, there is a suggestion out there that we should not call these fruits haws any more as it is demeaning to womankind!  I'm sorry, but I think that that is taking political correctness just a tad too far (probably suggested by the same people that feel Father Christmas should no long say HO HO HO - for the same reason).

We have to put plastic shopping bags on our wing mirrors to keep the blue wrens off.  It's a small price to pay for such a beautiful bird - even if they are cocky little devils!!

Not much cooking time for me yesterday, so it was cornflake biscuits, pumpkin and chive risotto, cheese and noodle slice and, seeing as I had the oven on, I roasted the extra pumpkin that I couldn't manage to cram into the jug with the risotto.

What my query is, and I think it is also Nicky's, if there are, for instance, 20 pages in the topic, and you want to go directly to page 12, is there a quick way to do that?

It would have to be night time for me - I'm in Melbourne.

Thanks for posting that enquiry, Nicky.  I have often wondered much the same thing as well and had developed the solution Andie suggests, but I do wonder if there is a quicker or different way.

Just finished baking a batch of these - so easy and tasted great.  Thanks for the recipe.

Hally, I am beginning to love your iPad and its quirks.  Keep them coming.

I used to buy their stuff when we lived in Scotland many years ago and miss them now we are here in Australia.  Good to hear they are still going strong and their customer service is still as good as it was all those years ago.  So many companies are just so lax on that side of their businesses these days - even though it is a tough retail trading market.  I must take a look at their site again and see what they are stocking these days.

PS   Just tried looking at their site and couldn't download it - CP, could you give me their url please.  Many thanks.

CP, I think I had about the same picture in my mind of how you looked as Judy had.  Lovely avatar, thanks for updating it for us.
