School lunches in my day

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 9 May 22

In one of the comments about childhood memories, LindaOH (@LindaOHio) mentioned having a flask (thermos). I asked what she had in the flask and she said ‘milk’. This was a new idea to me so now I’m wondering what did you have to...

We have a vegetarian in the house who relies on Marmite for all of his lunches. Well, the day came a few weeks ago when we finally ran out. We have always had a lot of jars on hand because of how much we use the stuff....

Bread making with beer today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Mar 20

We made bread today. Actually, Vince made bread and I provided encouragement. We’re not out of bread but Vince was intrigued with a recipe that called for a bottle of warm beer, self-raising (all-purpose) flour and not much else....

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Nov 19

This is my ‘breakfast’. I don’t usually eat breakfast but I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis so now I’m taking a calcium and Vitamin D supplement. The tablets would choke a horse they are so big and the only way I can get...

In the comments on my post about Vegemite, Porcospino (@Porcospino) mentioned pavlova which I always thought was pretty specific to Australia but it seems New Zealand thought of it first. Anyway I thought I’d write about a few...

Touch wood - all good on the health front

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Aug 17

I’ve tried hard to lose a bit of weight over the last few years – just trying to eat a bit less and a bit better. I wondered how I’d go in France with the beautiful food that is so readily available. I’ve been eating more bread...

Tasty Twiglets

pgn @pgntwo (22405) • Derry, Northern Ireland 19 Mar 16

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 29 Feb 16

Before I left work this morning, I decided I would take a picture as reference to how much I'd pay just to try something I might not like! One day I want to try vegemite and marmite but it won't be today! Not at this price! I'll...

Have You Tried Vegemite?

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60812) • Perth, Australia 12 Dec 15

If I wasn't an Aussie, I'm not sure that I would even like it. The majority of Australians grew up eating this black crud so we are just used to it. I do like it but only a little bit. I don't put thick layers of it on my bread /...

Here I can find many different international food; but I'd think they are popular enough to be available outside where they were originally came from. I am sure some food exists somewhere that never leaves its place of origin. One...
