you have morning and afternoon tea! never eaten so many cakes since i've been here. :D

plus if you invite someone over for dinner (or are invited), nibblies with drinks are the norm upon arrival before going on to entree and main. i'm greedy, so i don't mind ;)

life OK, renovating so up to my neck in dust! I bought some from there a while back. It was pricey, about $10 as I recall but we don't eat a lot of mayo so I don't mind buying the good stuff.

How about you, keeping your pecker up?

Good luck with the reno's, we've been doing quite abit of decorating and soon we will be knocking out the entire kitchen...if I get my way.:D Just finished our last jar of Garlic Mayo, Hellmanns of course, but they didn't have any in either store (Butler & J'lup) when I tried afew weeks ago, not sure they were going to get anymore either.:(

I currently have half a kitchen and have spent the last 3 weeks cooking on a 2 ring camping stove! I wish you luck with the kitchen, it is truly the biggest pain in the ass I have ever endured.
