Dedicated JD - pulling the stalks off the spinach.  Sounds like a great idea - MrsT loves risoni.

Thanks  :-* :-* :-* :-*

You will enjoy this one then Cookie.  We had it for lunch with some crumbed fish and DH really enjoyed it which surprised me.

Coles has a risoni that is branded the same as our surname. DH told a gullible friend that we were importing it and branding it with our name. He believed it and even went and bought some to try. :'( :'( If only.

I have been using the "Misko" brand for years.  Funny, when I first saw your surname on the TMX Australia blog I wondered if your family had something to do with it !!! ;D ;D ;D

JD,  this looks pretty healthy.   Must try it after eating all CP63's cream puffs.

Given the choice I would choose CP63's cream puffs any day but yes, you are right - we must also eat healthy things  ;) ;)

I guess you are right...........that's probably why I go for a long walk each morning too.  I just beat a shower of rain this morning. I hope it rains heaps as we certainly need it.
Eating a healthy diet etc seems to mean so much more as we get a little older. :'( :'( :'( It makes you wish you had thought a little more seriously about it 40 years ago. Thermomix certainly makes eating a healthy diet so easy really.

Creampuffs are very good for you...they have eggs, cream - which contains calcium and is good for the bones. You can even make them healthier by melting chocolate over them because there has been a lot of scientific research proving the health benefits of chocolate. Look in any adverturers Survival Pack and you will find chocolate. Personally, I would rather pop a cream puff in my mouth...  ;) now thats living!

True.  I was looking at the packet the day before this was posted, but MrsT used it for a dish with tomatoes as a side dish.
