    Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Stew

    You probably have shares in Energex! Have you compared the amount of electricity used this way as compared with the normal cooking method? Better still, have you looked at the value of a halogen cooker. Much cheaper to run

    NT family's ‘terrifying’ close encounter with croc amid fishing trip

    Suzanne, how about a bit of reality. Just at what age would you consider it appropriate to take your child fishing - 10, 12, 14 ? These people live in a part of the world where crocs are an everyday thing. And then consider the size of the boat: does it have to be 15 ft, 16 ft, or 18 ft to...

    Traditional Eggplant Lasagne Mousaka

    A nice dish - full of flavour. But after making it about 4 times in 3 months I was moussaka'd out. My plants kept producing lovely eggplants and I HAD to do something with them. Hard to get lamb mince though. Beef or pork also works and is not as strong as lamb. Come 2023 and I have the...

    Aussie barrister vs Qantas: Discover the shocking dispute over a $5,800 flight credit!

    Yes, 2019 was the year. I had booked a trip to China well in advance of leaving here. But when the Covid situation emerged I chose to cancel my flight having been advised by Qantas that I could do so. I had the choice, in writing, of getting a refund or a deferral for a year. I could see...

    Terrifying mid-air brawl: Window shatters during two intense fights on flight

    all passengers on certain flights carrying certain (un-named) people should undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to getting on the plane. Much the same as having your bags inspected for water bottles at the gate

    A 70-year-old driver claims 'bad intentions' after receiving $603 parking fine

    Is there not a difference between parking and standing ? If her story is totally true then there should be no argument - she was not parking. Parking is the key word. I expect her to win this one, once the fine print is examined closely.

    You won't believe what this Aussie woman found inside her shoe: 'Nowhere is safe!'

    I haven't had any snakes but have had a few cane toads, spiders, scorpions, crickets and lizards. I can assure you that their agitated wriggles are somewhat disconcerting when your foot makes contact. The only snake stories are when my geological "mates" decide to put a large red-bellied black...

    You’ve read the scary headlines – but rest assured, your cookware is safe

    I think that you should watch the movie again very carefully. Off-hand I don't think that there is a chemical with the abbreviation of PFTE , let alone being poisonous.

    You’ve read the scary headlines – but rest assured, your cookware is safe

    Obviously it is not possible to tell if errors are made in the transcription or the errors were made in the original writing. In this case it would appear that the good professor from RMIT "university" had difficulties with PTFE, even though the full name of the chemical should have been a...
