THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Amy :-)]

MF, your zucchini pasta looks great. I really must get one of those things
I haven't used anything yet as we need to wash it all and then season it. I would get that done now but I'm the only one home and there is a little puppy who wants lots of attention

Thanks Mich

Maddy, what will you be using the faux lettuce leaves for?

Display for Easter cupcakes 

nice lettuce leaves maddy    are you going to put them in someone's sandwich for April Fools?

  will remember to do that 

[Jadey]

Yup false lettuce leaves - I buy them all the time! - Seriously Maddy, you must have the best storage going on at your place you have everything lol. And yet when you post pics your place looks amazing.

My latest purchase has been a butterbell - now I don't have to add oils to my butter to make it spreadable and I can safely keep my butter on the bench. Brilliant!

I really like the idea of zucchini spaghetti, very low carb! ;-)

Lovely photo Jadey.

Jadey what does a butter bell do?

[Aussie Brenda]

Maddy, love the butter bell where did you buy it?

[Jadey]

Oops stock photo, not mine.

The one I got was actually this one



I'll have to find my receipt to tell  you where it came from - there's only 2 suppliers that I found to Australia though. I know I bought it online.

Kimmy - basically it allows you to keep butter on the benchtop / table without spoiling. Which means spreadable butter all the time. It holds a half cup of butter in the lid which is inverted into a small amount of water in a crock, thereby creating an airtight seal.

Thanks Kim, I knew it was Jadey, I don't know why I put Maddy, must have been tired.  Any news yet on a place to live?

[Jadey]

Thanks Kim,

I'm pretty sure I bought mine from Country Simplicity but I can't find my one on their website. 

Go figure.

I thought they were from France?

[Kimmyh]

Thanks jadey it looks fab.

[Frozzie]

Le creuset makes them.. But i had never seen them in frnace even in the le creuset stores.. And never met one french person who owned one... Its probably one of those things they call french but is more a marketing thing like grey goose vodka lol

Can understand that ab.. Stress and fatigue make me do things like that lol

Today i bought a bike rack for dh new car that he gets delivered thursday and some air mattresses!! Will be lots of necessary purchases once we arrive in syd like beds' mattreses etc, a washing machine and later on lots of other bits and pieces.. Squeal lol
