I've always chopped mine into pieces (peeled), seasoned and tossed in olive oil, then roasted at 150-180C along with everything else for a roast dinner. They go squooshy and slightly caramelised -...

frzndaqiri: cheers, I'll have a look there!

That's what I first thought, but unfortunately couldn't find them on the website - a few other fairly nice designs, but no snowflakes, boo :-(

Not to spoil anyone's party or anything, but there's no way a five dollar chicken has had what any of us would describe as a decent life. And yes, I know prices are important, but if y...

Line drying is definitely the way to go. For all washing in fact - the only things I iron are my business shirts, everything else the crinkles just drop out of (and line dried stuff feels *so* muc...

I cycle everywhere so I notice when I'm leaving home if I've attached my panniers to my bike or not (because if I haven't, my handbag is on my shoulder, and you notice that on a bike!).

Switch to solid shampoo/conditioner and soap instead of shower gel to cut down on packaging, water use during production (hopefully!), weight of goods to be transported. If you have a ...

I now feel all boring for using old envelopes as my notepaper for shopping lists etc! (prior to then recycling it)

The UK also has the on/off switches. And powerboards with on/off switches for every socket on the board are common in both countries too. Doesn't mean everyone uses them though...

I like having a dishwasher, simply because I do all the washing-up in our house - my fiance is 6'6", and bending over the standard height sink does horrible things to his back (can't wait until we ...

KrapArtist - have a google for Adblock or similar - I'm using Firefox with Adblock, and I wasn't even aware that there were ads on this site (ok, not what the advertisers want to hear when it comes...

It depends entirely on the rice. For example, I always wash basmati rice (rinse it in a sieve, then soak in the saucepan at least 15mins, swirling a bit if I can be bothered, then rinse in the sie...

Ours are stored under our stairs. It's not absolutely ideal, but it's the best we can do whilst we're renting. My dream is to own somewhere on sufficiently high ground that we can dig out our own...

Seconding the call here - Kathryn, what weight of beans should we be using? I currently have the first dried black beans I've ever bought sitting in a bag in the pantry, and this looks like a grea...

I don't haggle at places like pick-your-owns, whilst I do haggle at our regular market (Vic market) when I bulk buy - the way I see it, when I'm buying direct from [smaller] farmers as opposed to t...

Could cotton ones be composted / fed to a worm farm? I guess they'd have to be 100% cotton, but it seems like it should work...

We're getting married sometime next year, and I don't want to set up a registry - asking for gifts always makes me feel weird (even in response to a specific, e.g., "what do you want for your birth...

As far as I know, canned pumpkin doesn't exist in Australia. Butternuts do though, and they're yummy! Great comfort food soup: fry onion and optional bacon, add chopped raw pumpkin, maybe some po...

bridmw took the words right out of my mouth! Same in Aus I believe - Shepherd's is lamb, Cottage is beef. I have a recipe for "Shepherdess Pie", which has beef in for some reason (I g...

I've been using Lush's Ultimate Shine bar for a while now with no problems, but I just double-checked the website and SLS is the first ingredient listed for it :-(
