I miss the Queensland blue, they used to be everywhere. They are 100% the best for flavour and texture. Can grab one at the Vic market sometimes. Otherwise it tends to be butternut, Kent or Jap. But I'll always bue a blue when I see one. Yes please. I love trying new recipies.

I make pumpkin soup a fair bit but I just roast the pumpkin in the oven first. We don't have canned pumpkin down here or even pumpkin pie filling. Best way to have pumpkin is roasted. So yum.

You could make it vegan, and give it a lovely Thai twist by... Swap the evaporated milk for a can of coconut milk (or cream), add a little chilli, some coriander and a squeeze of lime. Or... Give it some spice and add ginger and nutmeg (still switch out the evaporated for coconut to keep it vegan)

11 years! What an amazing achievement and gift to both yourself and your family. Thank you for being the light that guides so many others on their journey to freedom. Look around the train at those you've helped. Look at all the lives you've enriched with your humour and determination to never leave anyone behind. Even when I vanish into the chaos you've always been with me, guiding me and bringing a smile to an often dark day. Not all superhero's were capes. Some wear chique concave bobs, wierd Fridays and talk in the cutest Scouse accent. Thank you for being a beacon to so many.

Don't. You've come so far. I was only going to quit for 2 days until payday and get by with nrt gum.... nearly 7 years ago. It gets better. Promise. Seems like this no man's land your in will last forever?, you should be over it by now?... don't listen to those nicodemons in your head. You are reprogramming, the nicotine receptors are pulling out all the tricks to hook you back in. You are doing so well. 2 lozenges a day is great. You've come so far. Being an nrt quitter myself this is in no way a criticism but those lozenges will be making it a little bit harder. Each one is another little hit, however micro.. that said they are a bazillion times better than having a smoke. Please don't throw away all your hard work. It really does get easier.

I'm sort of involuntarily vegan. For medical reasons I can't eat meat or chicken, or dairy.. I can have egg, some fish (flathead, whiting, barramundi) and most shellfish. I also have to low or no gluten. I still cook meat for others and stare at it longingly.

Nope. But isn't if 1st August ?

Meanwhile, Downunder were getting an Arctic blast and experiencing English summer weather it's currently 7°C... got down to 4 overnight... it's been a cold, dry winter down the bottom of Aus. @Cbdave is further up north than me so he's probably had higher temps. We are expecting snow in the Dandenongs this weekend, that's the outer suburbs of Melbourne.

Just spent over 4 hrs watching the Olympic Opening ceremony....there was some crap but that horse and video montage of Olympic history... chefs kiss. Even @Reciprocity favourite French speaking singer was perfect.
