I had to have Maltesers for breakfast because we have no bread in the house.

I have just thrown our bread in the bin. Tomorrow morning is looking good.

The big boxes of Malteesers are $5 at Woolworths at the moment - breakfast for the whole family!

I've been to 2 craft stores and can't find any yarn I like. I really want to knit an unneeded sweater!

I can confirm this is true. Sharing Maltesers is punishable. That being the case, I may have to buy 5 boxes of Maltesters to ensure everyone in the house has breakfast tomorrow.

Sadly, two members of the house are away at the moment so there may be some Maltesers left over.

I love to connect and emphathise with other peoples, especially their foods, which probably accounts for my fascination with Asian peasant foods. To be able to experience their struggle and the triumph of the human spirit.

Annoyingly, I just discovered that I'm right out of fresh Galangal for my authentic pad thai experience and it's a 50k round trip to the nearest shop that sells it, better fire up the Land Cruiser and drive in for a few tubers.

I love small geezers. I suck the chocolate off and ensure the ball is still complete, then I crush the honeycomb bit

Another first world problem relating to Maltesers... coles had them on special for $1 a small pack today.

Trouble was, the pack was so small it just didn't seem worth the trouble to open it.

That said, I did buy 3 bags of groceries and they were a little heavy to carry to the car.
