would love to read this..how do i get one please... kylie

That's nuts !!! ;D

Nuts without skins such as macadamias, cashews or brazil nuts don't create as much of the murky water residue, but soaking is still recommended for ease in blending and for nutritional purposes. 20 mins soak max should be sufficient. Those making 'mousse' or other raw food recipes with cashew nuts would find the soaking beneficial.

Does one need to do the same thing with other kinds of nuts? I tried soaking cashews once, and the result was, umm, suboptimal :)

I was a bit disappointed with it actually. Having read the book and seen the film (and I was 13 at the time of the original) I felt this TV adaptation went a bit too far. Spinning it off the popularity of the book was a bit of 'shonky' advertising. In fact, I understand they increased the ages of the cast to 16 to allow for the more gratuitous sexual references. I really enjoyed the book as it was very relevant to me, and I ended up in that scene at 19 and thought it was quite honestly written.

I think I might agree with you Leeann, (the bit about keeping it in perspective not about Kathy Letts being a big mouth - I think she's written "some" amazingly great work that includes a feminist discourse, that needs to be kept alive and well...please note "some"). I still cant quite watch the original version of Puberty Blues as it brings back some pretty confronting memories of my social scene in the seventies (OMG am I that old!). Both girls and boys were pretty mean to each other - I think

hmmf! as someone who experienced that school and those girls first hand let's keep it in perspective - a very very small group of girls who these days would get the label of 'bullies'. Let's not make them out to be better or bigger than what they really were. The author of Puberty Blues always had a big mouth - and just extended it into print.

Thats amazing how such a small thing can make such a difference.

Wow, love the simplicity and effectiveness of a plastic bottle and water!

Well done Live and Local for the inaugural event in the Redlands, I heard the pizza were a it

Thanks for the mention Jed Watson and I look forward to contributing further as you grow your networks and areas. I really think you are on a winner here. I really like the Ipswich site you have recently completed, nice work I also have a feature request. I would love a Newcastle Section to be included as I am a Novocastrian gal, it would be embraced here.

Good roundup, been a productive week!

It's been a great day Roger

The Expo provided me with a great opportunity to meet Ross from Aspire Now and I received some very good accounting advice about my business going to the next level. Ross your business card was drawn from Au Web Group competition box to win a Free Facebook Page. I will be in touch.
