THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[CreamPuff63]

I'm a tea drinker and began to feel a little bored as it doesn't really excite the palate. I quite like to mix the equation around now with a cup of crio bru, a cup of flavoured green tea, normal green tea, and water. Am loving all the different tastes.

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Tenina said you can just use coffee in place of it in her recipes which is what I intend to do.

At this stage I will be doing the same JulieO.  My palate wouldn't know the difference anyway I'm sure

Just spent up at Hindustan Imports in Dandenong.  Picked up a range of spices.  The car smelt like a curry all the way home.  My little daughter grabbed the bag of cocoa powder and just kept smelling it - very funny.  She wasn't happy about giving it up to get into her car seat.

I found that without all the sugar it tastes quite watery and wasnt getting any strong flavours through.. It is nice in the syrup as a concentrate but im going to try less sugar as not loving the equal amounts of crio to sugar and find you need to use a whole lot of it to get any flavour...havent tried it in cooking yet though

Im honestly thinking that some of the so called benefits are the famous placebo affect...

OMG my dishwasher just died. What am I going to do now? It's been 6 years since I have had to wash everything by hand. Washing up for 7 people is not going to be fun. I can see a roster system will have to be made. Boo hoo I miss my dishwasher already.

7 people and no dishwasher is scary.

Lol Robyn it is very scary. I'm sick of washing up already and it's only been a couple of hour.

And I will be checking out what's available second hand, but I think it may just have to wait with all the cost of getting the kids back to school there isn't much spare money at the moment. Oh well at least I can still use the TM 😄

I love it Hally. Made me laugh.

Gee how did they cope years ago with much bigger families than mine. But I guess they didn't have a TM which makes us cook heaps more and have more washing up to do lol.

Now that is really bad news. Are you sure it is dead and ot just having a tantrum? 

Give yourself 24 hours to assess the situation.

Bummer big time.

I have a feeling the water pump (if they have one) has burnt out because I smelt that horrible burning electrical smell. I even turned the power point off with a wooden spoon just in case. I then turned it back on and nothing, dead as a door nail. 😥😞
