Mega Thread Things that s**t me the fourteenth part

[Hawk Dork]

They are pretty cheap in Aldi in a big drum
Put some you will use into fresh water in a Vegemite jar in the fridge
They firm up and dont taste too salty.
The Vegemite jar is because it has a plastic lid that wont rust from the salt

Great in pasta sauces,pizzas, Spanish and chicken bakes, tangines, Niçoise , Greek and Caesar salads

I've tried curing my own from my trees once or twice. Tasted crap on their own, iirc too mushy but they were pretty decent put in a spaghetti sauce. Haven't bothered to again though.

Yeah same. Never again. Give me garlic and chili green olives from the deli counter any day of the week.

Good green olives stuffed with chilli from Woolworths deli, decent kick to them. Demolished a whole heap of them over summer holidays (snacks every afternoon - dips, crackers, cheese, salami, olives etc)

I wish i had a wog consultant to teach me to make salami, passata, grow olives, maybe even my own wine. Unfortunately I married someone of Irish descent, the only thing their family can help me with is growing potatoes!

My husbands family still do their own sauce, wine and sausages

I’ve got a spare daughter if the dowry passes muster

I'm actually descended from Irish as well (further down the line) and i come from a long line of drinkers, no schooling required. As for fighting, well i watch a lot of it so i figure I'd know what to do when needed, looks easy.

That's gold, if I ever get a divorce I'll PM you (probably have * all for a dowry after being cleaned out though)

Know what shits me? Mods who do thread rollovers and include nearly two months worth of posts instead of a few days. 88 new notifications. Had to do about nine mouse clicks to find where I was up to. Nine!

Chief.

Can I please have no further thread rollover notifications?

Or, if a thread is to be locked and the next part is created, lock it then and there and no wading through threads.

From my experience unless you own a winery and make wine for a living, home made wine is usually pretty rough. I've also never had a home made grappa, rakia etc that didn't taste like it was designed to poison guests.

Home made sauce and sausages on other hand... I've tried making sauce from fresh tomatoes, herbs etc. and it's rarely any better than the shop stuff. Should probably stick to potatoes.

I've got a couple of olive trees that are starting to fruit. I have NFI what to do with olives so will probably just let them fall to ground. If they aren't stolen by brazen olive thieves of course.

HOW TO PICKLE OLIVES - All Things Sicilian and more

Olive trees have become very common in many Australian gardens. In South Australia where I used to live, olive trees grow wild and prolifically, and I miss not being able to collect and marvel at the range of shapes, sizes and tastes of olives I had for free. I used to enjoy looking at my...

Had pretty much the same experience at Bunnings and finding the bath I needed- their system is bullshit- the woman at highpoint looking on the computer and could not even tell us whether the "one" coming up on the computer at another store was a display model or one "in stock". Long story short, took over 4 hours to get the ******* bath, when it should have been alot quicker.
