The totally off-topic thread

Well done you!

I totally agree when it comes to meat. A marinade only masks the flavour of the meat. I buy eye or rib fillet in a cryovac bag which lasts for several weeks in the fridge. Take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before cooking. I then use a small amount of olive oil on the steak and season with ground salt and pepper just before cooking

Yum

Agree, not a fan of freezing. Just seems to take out some favour to me, and while I like a good marinade good meat doesn't need much.

Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah interesting. Thought he would be found not guilty in the courts, but guilty in the eyes of the public.

I'll be in ADL as well on Thursday (presume you mean 4 July) - arrive at 8.20am. Perhaps you, me and Shintaro10x should get together and you can extoll the virtues of RAA/RAC(Q) Woolies Gift cards.

Sounds like a meeting at an RAA office at West Lakes on Thursday. I am unsure whether my life Gold Member RACWA card will work there so we may need Shintaro10x to cut thru some red tape.

My silver (20+ year member) RAA card is good for $5k per day in wish cards... just saying....

If either of you want to catch up just let me know....

I have a gold card.

How does this work then?

I'm with you Mal, thought rolf would be guilty in the eyes of the public but not in a court of law. And now there's so much else coming out the Jury wasn't allowed to hear. Creep. His daughter is a piece of work too.

Gold card is 25+ years I think... I have been a member since 1992 so I don't qualify for Gold membership ( RAA | Membership / Levels of Membership )

But even a "Blue" (entry level) can purchase discounted wish cards... there is a purchase limit of $5k per day (Maximum $250 per day saving)

Membership / More for Members / Save 5% on Woolworths WISH Gift Cards

Can there be any joy greater than being trapped in front of two cackling witches who spend the entire flight competing over who can laugh the most over the lamest 'joke'? (Starting at 6 am)

No need to go to the RAA with ecards available?

Happy New (financial) Year everybody

Can you get ecards at 5% off face value?

 

[Pushka]

I'm not sure Shintaro. I didn't click any link but there would be much point in advertising them if no benefit to members?

 

[Buzzard]

Not as good as a Wish card but you can now get BP Fuel cards at a 5.5% discount.

I use the Entertainment Book for WISH [-]and Coles[/-] gift cards.

They have an online portal, 5% discount to face value, you can pay with AmEx, and get free shipping. They also have very generous limits.

It might be wise to avoid flying with blackcat20 and me then!
