Cookie, I see you've just gone over the 7000 posts mark - is that a record for this forum?

Oh, I've just seen JudyDawn is nearing 9,000 - maybe she has the record?

I wonder if a quick tipple before you get to customs would be helpful to cut down the quantity of the liquor - it would certainly make you more cheerful as you wait in the queues.

Aaah, of course, Frozzie, one centilitre is 10 ml - tht is so logical.  I was pretty sure I had it wrong when I wrote my earlier post - the "deci" is a dead giveaway for 1/10th - this getting older must be frazzling my brain.

So long as the value is less than AUD1,000 they should get through customs OK, but if there are foodstuffs, wood, leather, etc. you may be faced with quarantine fees.  I can give you details of a good and reliable customs agent if you need help with clearing the package.

Thanks for all your good wishes.  JD, you have such a kind heart, if you make a note of everyone's birthdays you will never get to bed at night!!  However, I will easily remember Geoff's as we are right next to each other!

JD, I think it's deci-litre, but I'm not sure what that equates to - 1/10th of a litre (or perhaps 1/100th of a litre)???  The measurement is used a lot in Europe so I am sure one of our European members will set us straight.  Unfortunately, I still tend to think in imperial for some things and metric for others and I haven't quite caught up with deci-litre yet.

Big business certainly does rip the public off (what's worse - dare I say it - it is not unknown for it to have the support of our governments as well) - it's no wonder we are all getting more cynical by the day. 

I love your solution to flour and, if it works for you, it will certainly work for me!!!

Yesterday was my birthday so we went to our favourite Indian restaurant and had Sev Puri, Onion Bhaji, Bombay Aloo, Chicken Mak..(something that I can't spell), rice, garlic naan and mango kulfi.  Now I feel like a big blob, but it was a gorgeous treat!

Cookie, so sorry to hear that you had to clean your oven!  Glad to see that I am not the only one who loathes that job.  I've only roasted garlic once and it gave me such terrible wind I've never done it again, which is a shame as it tasted lovely (maybe it had something to do with exploding internal gas as well!).

Frozzie, good to see you back on board, the search party was just getting underway when you came back to us.

That's very wise LeeJ!  Have you heard about the deep fried Mars bars in the UK?

Looks like a few of us have had a look at Helene's recipe.  The images are so clear and helpful.
