First up, the other foods. Did you know that British Corner Shop not only ship to Australia but that they are now also stocking Waitrose branded products for delivery internationally as well?

I’m already planning my first order. It’s mostly going to be bulk lots of my favourite teabags but I did see that they also have Builders tea on offer as well. I like a strong cuppa, should I give it a go? Any dry goods from Waitrose I should consider too?
Closer to home, my find of the week has been store bought, ready made caramelised onion. I don’t have the patience to make it from scratch so when I discovered that Beerenberg have several versions of caramelised onions on offer, I took it as a sign from above that I was meant to have roast beef toasties for lunch this weekend.
From memory, this jar of Australian made plain old caramelised cost $5.50 for a 280g jar from Woolworths. And it was worth every cent. There was just enough sweetness to the onions and a tiny splodge on each side of my toastie before it went into the jaffle maker was all I needed to pretend lunch was a lot more fancy than it actually was.
I’ve really been enjoying the humble box of sultanas for an afternoon snack at the moment.
Isn’t melting chocolate one of the best functions of a microwave ever? It’s so easy, effective and fool proof. And with much less cleaning up than the tempering method over a pot of simmering water which has be doing so gently rather than with vigorous spits of boiling water which apparently isn’t a good thing to have in contact with the bowl in which you’re melting the chocolate.
Preschooler SSG and I have been making a chocolate cake for some friends we’re seeing this afternoon.
He was terribly excited to have gotten all the best jobs in the kitchen – a spoon and bowl that needed licking, a spoonful of frosting to taste test and finally being in charge of the sprinkles.
