My cherry tart is complete, now I just have to work out how to get it safely to my sister's place. I'm also not sure if it is going to be safe to take it out of the tin - the filling rose a bit high and has stuck to the sides a bit, trying to remove it could lead to a total collapse. At least the jar of vanilla custard should be stress free.
The stupidly heavy antique drill press has been sold and is on it's way to a new home. 😁
Decluttering is getting more and more complete every day - the prospect of moving house definitly help, it's amazing how many "maybe" items turn into a hard no when faced with the prospect of packing and moving them.
I'm making a cherry tart to take to my sister's place for dinner tonight. It uses 1kg of cherries, but I still have tons left in the freezer. How one little tree so badly attacked by cherry slugs that every year I expect it to die can produce such abundance I do not know.
It's 10% off a single shop each month, up to $50 discount. Plus you get double FlyBuys points.
I think whether or not it is worth it depends on your shopping habits - if you shop a little bit every day you won't get as much as if you consolidate all of your shopping into one trip a month. I don't buy a lot from Coles at the moment, generally around $100 a month, which I consolidate into one trip so I save a few dollars over the cost of the subscription. It would be more beneficial for a family, who would be easily able to get that $50 maximum if they organise right.

This trivia thing is so not my forte.
I generally wash before eating rather than before storing so that it won't impact the longevity. I wouldn't worry about the organic sprays, the eco-oil is just a mix of plant oils and is safe to eat the vegies with no withholding period. If the organic fungacide is the eco-fungicide brand it is just potassium bicarbonate, very similar to bicarb-soda and can be used in cooking in much the same way so is definitely safe to consume.
Definitely not flavourless. It may reduce the flavour a little, but that recovers when you put them back out at room temperature. So you can store them in the fridge for longer life, and just pull out a few that are to be used in the near future to keep on the bench.
Most of the reason tomatoes can be flavourless is they have been bred to be easy to transport and for uniformity instead of taste, and are then picked before they are fully ripe. Being in the fridge is a much more minor factor.
A selection of meat pies please, and some fruit pies for dessert.
Why didn't you ask this question yesterday when I had a pie for lunch? Now I'm reading all these pie comments and wanting to have a pie instead of the pizza roll I have. (and for the record, yesterday's pie was beef and mushroom).
There are so many good choices, I find it really hard to make that sort of decision.
I have been getting some pies lately that are the leftovers the bakery didn't sell and I get to have a surprise pie, which works for me. They are all good, although the chicken contains a few peas which must be picked out. Strangely enough Miss Meow thought the peas were quite yummy and ate them all.
It's also the class of insecticides used in the automatic fly sprayers (the ones you put on the wall to spray at regular intervals), mosquito repellant clothing and in some dog flea treatments. I had to remove all of these from my home when Miss Meow moved in - which was a bit of a win for the person who took the half pack of flea & worm treatment I had left.
I think this will be the safest method.
