I believe that if you are going to post a recipe from another country then you should give an alternate ingredient to those that are unavailable here. Failure to do so shows a lack of respect for the reader. A lot of people change and adapt recipes to suit themselves, but the readers of this...

Is tinned pumpkin available in Australia and if so, where?

One way to avoid this council hassle would be to put wheels on this tiny home and then it comes under a different set of council rules. The wheels don’t necessarily have to move the house , they just have to be there to change the status of the tiny house. That way she may avoid the horrendous...
