When I cook a stir fry, I normally purchase rump or blade steak. I cut it into strips, and velvet it. I find it makes a great difference to the meat. For those interested, just google: velveting nagi

This is a tad unkind. I also saw the typos, and it took from the recipe. I was wondering what Housing Sauce referred to, Deano31 made a reasonable comment re correcting the numerous typos. An edit to the recipe post after Deano31 made his comment removed all the errors. Let’s all be kind.

I thought the most recent idea was that elderly people stayed in their own homes as long as possible, utilising the available home care. That’s been our plan, we’ve recently bought a suitable retirement home, don’t need help yet, but thought we were doing the right thing, and not assuming we’d...

Dad loved dried fruit, and every Father’s Day (without fail!) we’d buy him a large gift box of fruit. Then we’d sit at the table, waiting … waiting … for him to open it, and after teasing us with a long wait, he’d open it and share it with us all!

I admire her attitude and zest for life!

Interesting article! Before I relocated, I used to have coffee with a self-funded retiree, who spoke once of her Health Card from Centrelink. I had no idea what she was referring to, as she wasn’t on the Age Pension. Now I know, and I’ll be trotting into Centrelink once I turn 67.

Can’t really help you with Toluna. I am registered, I got to 25000 points, then stopped doing their surveys. I might drop back in, I think 30000 points gives me $10 at Bunnings. Like you, I use Flybuys/PureProfile, and also I mainly use Pure Profile (not attached to Flybuys) and PrimeOpinion and...
