What was a saying about Adelaide drivers? Driving on drugs ... with no steering wheel

Reminds me of a guy who rocked up at work with a broken accelerator cable , no problem he tied one end of a length of whipper snipper cord to the carby and held the other end out the window by hand .

I'm not a pessimist in any sense, though I can relate to a shocking travel related week as well JohnK.

Not much one can do now. Just hope the bags turn up.

Well I am happy.A good thing about working in a cold place is being able to drink more vintage port.so in the last 2 weeks I have had a St.Hallett's 1944 Anniversary port and now on a Seppetsfield 1962 DP3.
life is good.

There are so many wrong things I could say about that story...

Although it was only a small python, how embarrassing to have that made public.

What I can't find though is those rice containers, a few years ago I brought my first lot of rice in a container, and now I can't find any rice in a container; they are all in those plastic bags so when you open it up you then have to find a container to store the rice in, which I don't have. CSR sell castor sugar in the container I am looking for but I can't find rice for sale in any container, maybe if you find one in the East you could post it to me. :idea:

Try Woolworths Select Peach Slices in Fruit Juice 1kg. Perfect for storing rice and I am using right now in Brisbane.

I presume you have to remove the peaches first ...

There was a story from the NT <12 months ago about a guy caught drink driving, speeding and enjoying the company of his lady friend 0_o

That could be a good idea if you want to store 1kg of rice in the container....

Rice pudding with peaches????? :shock:

Rice pudding with peaches????? :shock:

Possible, but I'd prefer to use fresh peaches and poach / stew them, rather than pack peaches, which will make it very, very, very sweet.

That said, I don't eat a lot of rice pudding. It's a heavy dessert.


Also - have to ask: dessert wine, port or both? I personally prefer dessert wines (ice wine, Sauternes, De Bortoli) over port. The port seems a very English thing, but to me they are more often than not sickly sweet. That said, at a recent epiQure wine and cheese tasting event, I tasted a port-like wine that was exclusively made for epiQure (I think), and it wasn't sickly sweet but was fantastic in flavour, so many nice notes to it... the only downside probably was the price. There's also a reasonable port that I had before made at Sandalford Wines.

I have always enjoyed the Chateau Reynella...recently finished my last bottle of 1979

Fortified wines in general are not necessarily an English thing. For "Port" consider Iberian.

Or do a trip to Rutherglen. Campbell's Muscat more often than not tops the world at International shows while Pfeiffer's Seriously Fine Pale Dry Apera would give the Spanish a run for their money.

Markis10 when you next visit Perth bring some wine with you and what we don't drink just live in my fridge.
