SHOPPING SPECIALS ON LINE
Well sisters, in my zeal after so much good publicity, I thought I should add a few more entries to this blog! (I now have to live up to expectations…so hard! But thanks for all the good feedback!) Anyway, I thought I would try and write a few articles about what affects us all, and first cab off the rank is grocery prices. Did you know you can go on-line to an interactive catalogue for the Woolworth’s store closest to you?
http://www.woolworths.com.au/weeklyspecials/
IGA have one too.
Please rest assured I have no shares in either of these companies, (unfortunately!) but for those of you who like to shop the specials for storage purposes, these links are a great way to check out what’s on sale, where, without the use of any fuel! (Except coal fired power generators, but we won’t go there!!)
Of course we have all heard the same old adages, usually from our mothers, about not shopping when hungry, and don’t forget that to have kids with you at the checkout is wallet suicide…(leave them home with grandma), buy the specials, have an actual list and don’t deviate from it and last but not least, check out
before you make any big purchases! (Often they have grocery articles as well as all the big ticket electronic heads up!)
And remember, before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
TUNA CURRY
Well sisters,
Although a lot of you already have this recipe from an Enrichment meeting long long ago and in another galaxy, I thought I’d put it up on here so those who missed out can give it a go. …yes Renae, that probably means you! (Please feel free to send me photos)
We all love to hate tuna recipes and this one is a little different, although not recommended for small children as it is a little hot! So with a salute to my sister in law Imogen Parsons, (who first gave me the recipe) here it is;
TUNA CURRY
NEED:
1 large tin tuna in brine
1 diced onion or ½ cup dried onion
Generous spoon of commercial Korma curry paste
1 can chick peas (or equivalent reconstituted dried chick peas)
1 can coconut cream
Olive oil
DO:
In large pan heat olive oil and gently fry paste and onion.
Add remaining ingredients except coconut cream.
Reduce liquid if necessary with a gentle simmer.
When flavours are blended and all is hot, add cream.
Heat through and serve immediately over steamed rice.
IDEAS
OK, so this is it…your chance to tell me all about what it is you want out of Enrichment. (Be gentle with me!)
Click on the comments link and start writing. I will take it all on board and will see how we go.
