    Discover the massive new avocado that's taking Australia by storm – it stays ripe for days, but there's a twist you need to know!

    I bought 2 from the markets in Yeppoon when I was staying down that way. Taste, great, just wrap left over in foil or glad wrap, or place in sealed container. As most go brown on top, this is no different, and doesn`t change the taste.

    Café's $1 surcharge draws mixed reaction—sneaky move or necessary cost?

    Same. I get a ginger beer or cider, and ask no ice. If they put ice in or insist I have to have ice. No thanks. I am the customer and I will have and pay for what I asked for. They then have to comply. And I make sure they don`t charge extra. Especially when away from home.

    So agree. I only have normal butter for baking, and soft butter for general use. It is only softened with either milk or water. We used to add water to butter years ago, (in NZ) to make it easier to spread on bread. Put it in the big mixer and beat it. If not all...
