Chit Chat / Re: Coconut oil/butter question
« on: June 13, 2011, 10:52:23 am »
Here in WA it is in liquid form all summer and solid form all winter. There are some beautiful cold pressed coconut oils around. Melrose make a good one as do Nuilife and Niulife (Kokonut Pacific). It is a superfood and strangely, good for weight loss!

I love my green smoothies. I have some macca in the pantry, keep forgetting to use it! Just a suggestion, a blob of yoghurt and a heap of ice make it creamier and fluffier.

I am off to make one right this minute!!

These were just fabulous although making pastry is not for me. I think Iwill stick with Pampas from now on. Otherwise, gorgeous pies and everyone was happy - very rare in this house with kids ranging from 4 to 15.

Judydawn, yes it was quite a fine mix but if you eliminated the pulse and just stirred the chicken in in chunks it should be coarser?

I'm looking forward to having these for dinner tonight, thanks Riv Mum. I have both raw and leftover cooked chicken in the fridge so just have to decide which to use. Maybe I will do a batch of each.

Suggestions and Complaints / Re: Cleaning problems
« on: May 23, 2011, 02:12:33 pm »
Good advice from everyone and I learned a few things and I thought I knew it all about cleaning the tmx!

With the baby brush, get one that is designed just for the teats - its really little and fits under each blade. I find if I clean it (or at least rinse it) straight away its not a problem. Or I leave water with detergent in it (really hot) and come back to it later.

I have done the teatowel dry and its ok but would not be sufficient for something that required a bone dry machine.

Finally, I think I hav e just got better at knowing how to clean it best depending on whats been in it with time. You just get to know it better as the months roll on!

Chit Chat / Re: Cyndi's 21 day weight loss diet
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:27:36 am »
I have just started this program after going to see Cyndi here in Perth earlier this week. She was wonderful!!

 I just have to say, after trying the Dukan diet for the last few months (on and off as it was so hard eating just one food group for so long), I am in heaven with this one. I did lose weight (5kilos) on the Dukan diet (high protein) but when I tired of alternating between pure protein one day and protein and veggies the next, for months...I gave up and the weight found me again.

I love love love the brekky smoothie and am looking forward to trying some of the porridges she has in her book.

Have the posters here who have already done the 21 day challenge found its been a good kickstart to lower weight? I have five kilos I don't want anymore!!

Just looking for rapadura that won't break the bank here in Perth - have any of the Perth Thermys found a source by any chance? If I do I will be sure to share it.

« on: March 26, 2011, 07:22:02 am »
Great idea Sonan! I like having three dips in soup sized bowls on a platter with loads of torn or cut turkish bread.

Its all such gorgeous coloured food, it will be a big hit I am sure.

Happy Birthday to your husband, 40ths are the best fun.

I just made this, threw in an apple and it was fantastic! I like the idea of bay leaves, very grownup.
