Re: Help desperately needed please.

Iv'e got some in my cupboard bought at Pak n Save. It's called pudding rice. I think it may have been in with the desert stuff rather than the rice section.

Re: Veggies Delight, Quorn arrives in Countdown!!!

May as well use mushrooms and add some spice then. Probably a whole lot cheaper and healthier too. I never really got the Quorn thing in the UK. If yu are veggie why do you need a meat subsitute?

Re: Currency

Well, the dollar fell even further over night to $1.82. The only major currency to fall (by this I mean I havent checked what they use in Ethopia). Even the Aussie dollar had a slight rise.

Re: Raumati Beach
