Where are you Hanibanani2? Sorry to hear that. I don't get why it's so hard for some to get through their head to stand away from others. I was buying a dress on sale and this woman was so close she was breathing in my face just so she could get a cheap dress. I gave her a glare but guess she wouldn't understand why..…

Thanks for that Tony. USA is a disaster zone, very sad. Glad they are safe for now in Jamaica.

" I had to harvest the little one because the stalk fell over while I was weeding. It was still connected to the soil, but it's right where one of the big ant nests is, so it would have had even MORE ants than normal. I went ahead and harvested two more instead of just one because it was small and because I still have…

Not sure when I'll get up the coast to buy the milk. Not for sale in shops, not here at least. Can't say I agree with you. The feta we made a few weeks back tasted just like a creamy type of feta. We'll try the crumbly version soon but halloumi is next. I was gifted a great cheese making kit so trying all sorts of cheeses…

We have buffalo farms down under too. Nothing wrong with their milk at all. They graze on lovely green grass all year. An Italian man I knew told me where I use to work told me it's easy to make. [/quote] Ah.....so you haven't done it yourself. I thought it was strange. Yes you could make it if you've got access to the…

It was the same here in Queensland but now they are packing all bags again. Same there now?

[/quote] Nope. Its not. Yes you can make soft cheese easily, but good real buffalo mozzarella?? Buffalo milk, where?[/quote] We have buffalo farms down under too.

Favourite: Probably Greece. Spent 5 weeks there and fell in love with the place. Least favourite: Spain. The people weren't as nice as everywhere else in the world we've been. The waiter tried to steal our money at a restaurant too plus loud and rude to everyone. Been there twice and not going back. It would be helpful if…

*sigh* I just bought a nice big vase too since my bosses bought me a gorgeous bunch of flowers including Australian natives and I had to use a jug to put them in since it's all I had. I'd much more appreciate a bunch of artichokes lol.

Make some, not that hard. I made feta the other week. Haloumi is next when all the feta is gone. I've made buffalo milk stuff too before. Ice cream, cheese and yogurt from a farm up the coast.

I'd be there in a heartbeat but I'm in North Queensland Australia and we aren't alllowed to fly over there yet so hopefully the supermarkets get some in. So far I only saw one.

"LOL yeah, but it also means I spend more time in the store around other people, and those extra steps cause me to walk past more people, where if I just walked where I needed, I might not pass those people. So, does it really cut down risk? Or make it riskier?" Write a list and stick to it is safest. Get in and out as…

Hmmm... I find Pap tests no issue at all but the nasal swab I had was very unpleasant but thank goodness was quick. Still I'd do it again if needed. Mine was nothing to do with Covid. Still felt like she was swabbing my brain almost.

That was the best thing I've read in ages! Thanks for the giggle.

I wouldn't say no to a few :smile: We've planted two plants in a pot, they are doing well but not big enough to have any artichokes on them yet. Can't wait!

Can we have the recipe please? Gosh that looks amazing!

Thanks Jo and Em. Word of warning. Double check your medications. They stuck a wrong label on mine and almost killed me. Blue lips and nose and the rest of it. Not good.

That was so good. I almost exercised even!

You totally look so much healthier. Good on you!

Holly crap Jo. I'm coming for morning tea soon. They look amazing~!

Check your blood pressure.

Huh? You have to pay to be tested for Covid? We don't.

"Can we hit the 'reset button' on 2020 yet? I'd like my money back. :pCan we hit the 'reset button' on 2020 yet? I'd like my money back. :disappointed:" This has been the worst year or so in my whole life and I'm no spring chicken. My whole house was flooded and we had to live in a crappy dark flat for a year( oh and I…

I love this story. You're going great.

Be proud of what you look like now. I had the most amazing body when young. I'm 54 now and find it hard at times to accept I can't wear as short a skirt (or won't), that my boobs aren't as perky ( I breast fed 2 babies and lost and gained weight.. then there is age) and my legs aren't as perfect as they were back then.…

I'm just glad you realise everything she said is not the best way to go. You are on the right track. Be proud. No need to cut rice out at all as long as it fits into your calories. You could have it everyday even if you want to. If you totally give up things you enjoy then you can end up bingeing.

Zero cases here in Queensland today. Only 3 active cases and only 5 new cases for all of Australia. Boarders still closed in QLD but we're finally allowed to drive anywhere within it now.

I saw from googling it that it was in some newspapers etc that type A blood type are more prone to catching it but no idea how much truth there is to it.

Just shows how dumb his is. My MIL laughed at me when this virus first started and I said she shouldn't go to church. If there is a god he'd hear you pray at home right? She has various health issues so wouldn't do well if she caught it.

Ok well I just find it hard to believe any employer would assume anyone gained weight. Never mind. A lot of us sit on our butts at work all day anyhow so not different at home or the office.
