Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
Hi Rob, Congratulations on catching the fish...we certainly hope it turns up on the DVD's. Loved the latest one by the way. Glad you guys were alright after your little mishap. Must have been a wee bit scary for you both. Cheers Al and Lou

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
A question regarding the chocolate mug cake. I'm presuming the flour used is SR Flour. Sounds yum. Thanks

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
I assumed that if 'SR' wasn't specified, then it would be plain flour, but I wanted to be sure so I Googled it to see what others had said. Plain flour is the go, but you can use baking powder if you want to, to make it lighter. Here's what I found: "You can also use baking powder in which case it will be lighter (simply add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to each mug when you add the flour) but it will spill over so place it on a plate before microwaving it and just be aware that it won’t look as pretty..." Cheers Marg

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
Al and Lou: the Spanish mackerel looked big to Rob (about a metre?) but as far as Spanish mackerel are concerned it was considered small, so there you go!
The accident was a bit scary at the time (although over so quickly we barely had time to say 'Whaaaa....????") but didn't put us off travelling. Actually, the more we travel the more we find that most travellers have had a close call or some kind of incident involving other traffic.
Must say that we have found the road train drivers to be fantastic in recent months on inland roads. I was a bit apprehensive about encountering the road trains before heading inland, but not now. We're careful to make contact if they're behind so we're all on the same page with a good overtaking manouevre, and we pull well over to the left and slow down when they're approaching from the other direction.

Cheers Marg Marg Thank you for your reponse. I would normally assume plain flour when SR is not mentioned too, but there were no other "raising agents" in the ingredients. Perhaps microwave cake cooking doesn't need raising agents, especially judging by the comments from your google. Thanks again for your trouble. Geoff & Jan

No worries, Geoff and Jan! (I'm a bit of a mad Googler... always checking things out online. Don't know what I'd do without my internet connection. Hopeless geek, I'm afraid... Cheers Marg

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
Gidday Rob & Marg. We read your recipe in the latest mag for pork in the turbo oven. We bought a Eurolab turbo oven from Deals Direct off the net ($45 delivered ) and followed your recipe. Our pork was a 1kg rack with skin left on. The crackling was beautiful and crunchy and the pork was so tender. The vegies were coated with season all ( garlic ) . Yum. Looking forward to more of your recipes. We are still working but manage to get away for a month each year in our van. Next year it will be 6 weeks. Looking forward to your next DVD. Regards Alvik

Regards Alvik Hi Alvik, Oh, great, I'm glad it worked so well! Nothing like lovely crunchy pork crackling. Nice that you get away for a month each year in the van... and six weeks will be even better! When are you going, and where are you heading? Cheers Marg

Pete&chris from tassy Hi Pete and Chris, They're called GreenFire BBQ Fuel and you should be able to get them from BCF stores and Barbecues Galore, and similar outdoor stores. Here's the link on the Cobb site that talks about the fuel: http://www.cobb.com.au/fuel.htmlAnd here's the Cobb page that shows retailers... wherever you can buy a Cobb you should be able to get the fuel. http://www.cobb.com.au/retailers.htmlAre you on the road yet???? Cheers Marg
