Sounds great - I enjoy eating broccoli and cauliflower. A very easy recipe with minimum ingredients and sounds very easy even for a teen to undertake. Must try before the weather warms up too much and we stop having soup at night. Thank you Suzanne rose, all your recipes sound easy and tasty; I...

I agree with your comments. Seems these days it is about WANT not NEED. Seems they must have everything from day one. We were paying 17% interest on our home loan when we paid off our first home in 1982 and the money came only from my husband’s wage, as did living costs and provision for three...

Fantastic - both of the jokes!

Absolutely correct. You can do your (simple) tax online (or wait for the ATO bill if you owe anything) and that has been possible for years now. Every business, Centrelink, Medicare, banks, employers and such have to report your income or interest earned to the ATO. When you do your tax return...

GST is a totally different charge thing to ‘card surcharge’.

That’s great and good for you. Now it is my turn together with my kids - I’ve been telling them for ages to get their Wills done. Our daughter recently officially divorced and has had her Will redone (hopefully to take the cheating ex-husband out of it so he never has a chance to claim...

Curry powders are all different - curry powder for Madras curry (very hot), curry powder for tandoori (different flavour), and curry powder for many other flavoured and specifically named curries, so it’s important to buy the right combination of flavours of a ‘curry powder’. There is no curry...

Oh my!! I do not condone the horrible acts committed by a person meant to uphold his religion and protect us. BUT some of the language here could be toned down quite a bit. Don’t like reading some of the words on a semi-public but ‘members only’ forum; I’m no prude, just someone who keeps my...

I haven’t used Temu for anything, as yet. Buying cheaper here will naturally be a product made in China or some of the other Asian countries, and at lesser quality. Not everyone can afford products from more reputable providers and countries. We all buy what we can afford so there is no use...

I don’t believe it is only the supplier ‘shrinking’ the quantity, weight or increasing price. The supermarkets play a huge, huge part in upping price and reducing quantity thinking we are fools and won’t notice. Glad there is someone thinking of looking into these practices, but don’t know what...

Hope you also have a legally constructed and written Will. You must state your son, by name and address, as the sole beneficiary; relatives, even long lost ones, sometimes also come into the picture and can (and often do) contest a Will but there also is a pecking order which each state uses in...

Quite a number of years ago some ‘by-pass’ roads were built inland from the Pacific Highway. A similar system should be built outside most major towns and only heavy vehicles must use these roads or cop a fine (by camera identification). This will not stop road accidents or deaths by those...

Roads are in an absolutely disgraceful state here in Queensland. I cannot speak for other cities and other states but patching up a hole with a thin layer of bitumen over a heap of stones DOES NOT WORK. It only makes the holes LOOK better but a week or so later or after rain and that hole or...

Thank you for clarifying about sheriffs is Oz. I have since looked that up.

Surprised, in this day and age, that the caterer was unable to supply a suitable meal. And, yes, the guest could have asked the bride if she could supply her own meal to the caterer to warm up or produce to her at the event. MIL - keep your mouth shut in future. This was not your child who may...

I picked up the following sentences from this article - “Council-issued fines are indeed government business. If you ignore them, you could face escalating penalties, licence suspension, or even a visit from the sheriff.” Does any state in Australia have Sheriffs? If not then this might be...

This article states he became ‘anti social’. What was his anti social behaviour? It also states ‘his speech was slurred and he couldn’t be understood’. Who asked him and what did they ask him? Did he become aggressive to the point of punching or kicking, etc? Did he verbally abuse the staff...

Too much aid and arms had been given to Israel now it is being used without thinking who it affects. Israel may not be wanting to annihilate anyone (ha, ha) but it sure is doing a damned good job of it. I’m not into politics of who did or is doing what, but I’m so disheartened with the...

Absolutely - stop spending money on sporting events, gambling and the like because they bring in money and start using brains and more money to stop crime which is getting worse here. If not, our good, worthy citizens will slowly get wiped out and all that will be left is criminals.
