In that case, I'll be sure to afford toast the utmost respect.

Actually, toast sounds like a good plan for breakfast.
I'm thinking a thick slab of toast with butter, smoked ham, aioli and
a poached egg on top.

I made an experimental loaf with white and wholemeal flour mixes
yesterday, I liked the result. Better than either wholemeal or white
on their own.

AT LAST someone is being fair!! I am fed up of being vilified for simply
defending myself. There are some Damned Hypocrites here too. I can
remember some of them giving Julie grief for hours and hours non stop, when
she wasn't even posting. Some people need to take a good look at
themselves.

Thanks, Cheri.

That sounds good to me, I love porridge and I should make it more
often than I do. I like to add a dab of butter in the middle and a
pinch of salt... porridge always needs a pinch of salt added IMO.

She did say she used butter too, but I am trying to keep the calories down

I am sure she will tell you herself.

It's a few people feeding off each other. They'll calm down again
and go back to bitching about Julie. Not saying that's a big
improvement.

I add the salt before cooking.

Mind you, I'm one of those Philistines who makes quick oatmeal
in the microwave.

You don't like it and you hate it then don't do it.

Good old Ophy has evidently joined the mean crowd. Welcome but don't
complain when people are picking on you more now, like you've
discussed with Bruce. You want to play that game, you're dealing with
experts that will chop you down to Scottish mulch in no time.

I'll write you off then and concentrate on the nicer people here. I
won't be mean to you, I'll just try to ignore you. Sad to see you go
though.

Kind of looks like Janet UK was right all along. wth?

Yes, that's nonsense, but I constantly see people sucking up to loud
mouths and bullies. I think that's motivated by fear.

Yes, fear that they might be bullied instead. There is a lot of that around
here. I've had plenty and the nastiness can be unpleasant, in fact I have
had quite a lot here ... ))

I'd hate Brisbane traffic every day. They lose so much time in those
traffic jams. In the country side, three cars is a traffic jam.

Heathen I make mine from plain old rolled oats. I like to presoak
the rolled oats the night before (if I remember to, that is). It's
been ages since I had porridge, that sounds like a good plan for
tomorrow's breakfast.

Fair enough, I don't worry about calories from fats. I used to care
about calories from carbs though, back when I was less physically
active. Sounds like a good time for cauliflower for you (thinking of
the soup thread here)?

I moved to Brissie back in 2000 after gaining my I.T qualifications.
I did make good money there, but I never did take to Brisbane itself.
Didn't like the summer weather, the place itself (boring), or the
people very much, to be honest. I was glad to move on after two years
there.

I don't think I've ever seen three cars on the same road around here

I can handle the heat, but they were having a heat wave up to
yesterday and it was a bit extreme. I don't know the city very well.
I've only spent a couple of days in total there.

Oh well, that does happen occasionally.

I used to love the heat when I was younger, but once in my thirties I
progressively moved further and further south from Darwin until I
ended up here. Now, I don't much like it over 20°C - seriously.
I'm obviously well acclimatised to this place now.

There is also a massive difference between dry heat and humid heat...
dry heat I can tolerate much more.

Just wasn't my cup of tea, I'm afraid. Plenty of other people love the
place.

By that I meant any particular food item, not necessarily just
cauliflower. Only recently I came out of a phase where I didn't feel
like bacon very much, so much so I gave a lot of what I had in the
fridge to the dog. Now I'm back to normal again, bacon-wise at least

I think I know what you mean there, not that it has ever bothered me
though. You might have the same issue with broccoli and cabbage then?

Yes, you do get used to the climate. In Tasmania, I used to think
that 20 was moderately warm. Now I find it chilly if it's only 20 when
I get up.

Yes.

Oddly enough, no! Hmm I shall be inspecting my broccoli and cabbage more
closely now ... ;-)

Excellent! I was spoiled for choice. We went to Chandlers.
https://www.chandlersboise.com/dining/our-menus/
menu:
http://www.chandlersboise.com/menus/...inner_Menu.pdf
I had the Bouillabaisse and my husband had the Cowboy Cut Steak. He
doesn't care for rare steak so this steak was perfect for him. My
bouillabaisse was everything I could have hoped for. The ambiance was
perfect, the service great. Very enjoyable.

Maybe not always funny. Back about 1988 I used to post quite
innocently with my real name and real e-addy. Next thing was a
stalker, the emails were horrible. I was living alone in a large
house, isolated, on the coast. It did scare me.

Some of the others on the group managed to track him down and find out
who he was, I was reassured he didn't have a vehicle and couldn't
drive but also later on I gathered he had a visit to put him off
Just the same it was a very nasty feeling.

I changed ISP and changed name to LB and never altered back.

So you never know until it happens.
