    Grandmas Casserole

    You are entitled to your opinions, too. They are, after all, a conviction held without substantive proof - ergo, not my problem. Glad to hear you're starting to feel bored, though. I was starting to get real concerned about you for a while there. So much angst and hatred has to be immensely...

    Fortunately for me, your opinion is of no consequence. But I do hope the thinking doesn't hurt too much. Jess

    Grandmas Casserole

    I am not stalking you. But you (and some onthers here) are rapidly demonstrating that we do not share the same values. Unlike you, I am not on this forum every day. I am too busy. On the infrequent occasions that I do open the newsletter and click on any links therein, it is mostly you who is...

    Easy Zucchini Slice

    I am Jess, Suzanne Rose, and I am not an enemy. Indeed, I have been trying to save your proverbial because I know you are well-intentioned, but I also know - as an industry professional (acquisitions editor, in the cookbook niche) that you are skating on very thin ice. I know of at least one...

    Grandmas Casserole

    What you do in a freestyle cook is yours. But when someone copies, verbatim, the recipe on another's website or cookbook, that is called piracy or plagiarism. And yes - if you find a particularly nice recipe in someone's cookbook or on their website, you should attribute the recipe to them if...

    Grandmas Casserole

    Yeah - MOSHARI ME ARAKA as it is called by it's creator (Mary's Kouzina - see: maryskouzina.com.au) is a fabulous dish. The only difference between the original recipe and the one posted here is the omission of the words 'Bless her' in the SDC post. Question - does SDC not have rules in place...

    Are your towels leaving you feeling less than fresh after use? Discover the reason why!

    Same here! I do, however, use Fabric Conditioner in the rinse cycle, and I line dry my Sheridan Towels. I am happy to report that my towels are now 34 years old and still going strong. Absorbent, soft, thick and fluffy. Jess

    Why did Qantas forcibly remove a 78-year-old Vietnam Veteran from business class?

    Back in the 70s when I was crewing BOAC international flights, Qantas had a stellar reputation. Even when it came to aircraft servicing. I remember one day, when I was walking back from my pay point (down on the apron) after collecting my wages, I overheard a chief engineer talking to a group of...

    Hearty Beef Pasta

    A kilo of beef mince, is twice the amount of mince in the original recipe from Taste of Home, Suzanne. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/hearty-penne-beef/ Are you certain it should be a kilo, or is it supposed to be the 500 grams in the original? But then you're using half the cheese...

    This American woman's odd questions about Australia caused a huge controversy–find out why!

    Sometimes I find myself wishing that every nation would implement some sort of idiocy test before handing their idiots a passport to leave the country. Jess

    Slow Cooked Beef Brisket

    We had it last night because my two sons-in-law are working today (one's a firefighter, and the other a paramedic). If there was any left over, I would happily send it your way, but alas... there wasn't so much as a lick of the plate left. Even the pooch missed out.

    Vanilla Cupcakes Vegan

    The recipe is one of Nora Cooks' vegan recipes - she has a whole raft of them on her blog. You can find both these recipes (for the cake, and for the buttercream frosting) on page 10 of her blog. My daughter's a vegan thanks to food intolerances/allergies, and Nora Cooks' recipes have been a...

    This photo of the world's largest cruise ship has gone viral—and people are divided

    I worked cruise ships in the northern hemisphere as a DJ and loved it. But my instinctive reaction when I first saw the Icon of the Seas (not in this article either) was 'whoa there. That's not a fun, relaxed cruise. That's Times Square New York in rush hour and so jam-packed you have no choice...

    The Coalition has accused Labor of 'stonewalling' key Centrelink, Medicare data

    The bulk billing issue is specific to your GP's medical practice. My GP bulk bills me the, and the practice also processes the medicare rebate at the same time, so I'm never actually out of pocket. It is regrettable that all medical practices don't do this, but that comes down to ethos of the...

    The Coalition has accused Labor of 'stonewalling' key Centrelink, Medicare data

    That would be right. The Coalition smacked a huge piece of duct tape over the mouth of the border control people to stop Australians knowing exactly how many illegal boats (if any) were actually being stopped in Australian waters; but now they want full transparency around electorate-levels of...
