    Home-Made Ice Cream

    My mum made one many many years ago that she would beat up two or three times and she used powdered milk in there somewhere. My sisters can't remember the recipe. Maybe it was something concocted through the war.

    Home-Made Ice Cream

    I have quite often made something very similar to this omitted the custard and extra sugar and it turns out fab...you have inspired me to start making it again.

    This 'annoying' detail at Woolworths has shoppers confused: 'We're not in America'

    Most of the larger supermarkets have and Asian section...Mexican section and some even have an English section. Maybe they should start up an American section. There are some things that I would like to see in there like tinned pumpkin. But I agree the oz. marked on the package is a bit off putting.

    Can winning the lottery make your life worse? This pensioner's story will shock you

    Sorry No sympathy vote from me. We sold our house to downsize (like the govt wants you to do) back in December 2021. As my hubby receives a part pension we went to Centrelink to tell them of this. Withing 12 hours his pension ceased along with any benefits he got with it.....discounts on...

    We usually finish things off on Christmas day with some Sheridans Shots (if you can manage to buy a bottle or two) or espresso martinis....at that stage any glass will do!!!!

    Coles and Woolworths customers puzzled over a trolley feature

    I wish every supermarket would use the coin system....so many trolleys just get dumped anywhere and everywhere and quite often pushed against your car and scratch it. If you are too busy to return a trolley why not shop online? Problem solved.

    Here's a sneak peek of IGA's Christmas range, featuring everything from fresh gingerbread to crackling pork roast!

    how cool I have never heard of a tradition plum pudding being called a clootie dumpling before. I remember vividly my mum making three or four of these well before Christmas and she used to hang them in the spare room under the spare table. One year she went to ready one for Christmas Day and...

    Here's a sneak peek of IGA's Christmas range, featuring everything from fresh gingerbread to crackling pork roast!

    ALDI's latest Special Buys caused a wave of nostalgia – shoppers are racing to the store!

    It must be hard when parents are like that but thankfully not all are. I was smacked as a child for being naughty along with my 6 brothers and sisters.. Some these days may call it abuse but it wasn't it was discipline and for the most of us it did make us better people. I am so sorry that you...

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    Very optional. I always thought that in Australia the wages were a lot better than in the USA where tipping was a boost to their wages being so low. Had a stand up argument with a friend about tipping she says if they give good service then you should tip....I say it's already calculated into...
