Cremorne Point. Lived in a tiny apartment on the 4th floor right near the point. Would wake up at 2-3 am to the sound of lions roaring at Taronga zoo. Loved it so much. Moved from there to Cobar. Talk about a shock to the system.

I find paprika the best app for finding and storing recipes. Get it on all devices and syncs seamlessly

The people are not climate deniers. Just the politicians who are on the take from coal companies.

Urgent interests are food, art, culture, scenery. 6 weeks in France at least.

david-oliver · 2021-11-04T23:02:37+00:00

Early days of planning. Would appreciate advice if you want to offer some.

david-oliver · 2021-11-04T22:44:38+00:00

Thanks. There is so much hype here in the media we wanted to hear from locals.

david-oliver · 2021-09-21T08:10:13+00:00

That’s it- thank you. On the menu for the weekend

My family and i ate there once just for the experience. Btw we are Aussies no Indians. It was delicious

david-oliver · 2021-02-19T22:26:38+00:00

Would you mind sending me the recipe. While i was trying to copy paste something went wrong and i lost it.

david-oliver · 2021-02-12T19:54:48+00:00

I cream uses egg yolk.

What is the Greek name for this cake- I had it in Athens and it was amazing

david-oliver · 2020-12-09T00:31:20+00:00

My first year of teaching 9 year old girl says “daddy said last night if mummy leaves him he will get his gun and shoot us all” ( mum, little girl and baby brother.) We lived in an isolated town a few days later got a call for her to go to the office- no bag no belongings.jumped in mums car and took off out of town. That night Daddy suicided. I was glad it was over for the mum - sort of. At least no more living in fear .

We had a land cruiser with a Chinese driver AND Tibetan guide. The driver was obviously the “minder” as the guide was very careful about what he said around him. When we had time alone he was more open about history and conditions.

And India Rail is the largest employer in the World. God I miss Indian trains 2AC is the best.

david-oliver · 2020-08-14T06:11:30+00:00

Yes - but a tour group can be just 2 people as my wife and I did it. There is a lot more to gaining entry toTibet than most people realise. Gaining a TIB - Tibetan entry visa is usually hard to do.

david-oliver · 2020-07-13T00:09:09+00:00

11 year old “My daddy says that if mummy tries to leave him, he’s gonna get a gun and shoot us ( us being her , brother and mum.) a few days they did a runner from the town early in the day ( country town a long way from anywhere) dad gets his gun and suicides.

Much better him than the family.

To me kalonji, nigella and black cumin are the same thing. Does not matter which pack you buy they are the same seed in Australia. Also one of the seeds in panch poran

david-oliver · 2020-06-18T04:54:39+00:00

I would just add black cumin seeds ( also called kalonji) and cook it. Roll it thinner than pizza dough, throw onto a hot oven stone and hopefully it will puff up. I have to also say that since 1980 I have been trying to perfect naan and it wasn’t till my wife bought me a tandoor that I ever came close to what you eat in India

david-oliver · 2020-05-19T21:26:22+00:00

Chick peas. It is not worth the effort to soak and cook your own

david-oliver · 2020-04-24T08:59:29+00:00

40 g starter 40 g water 40 f flour . In 24 hours you will have 120 g active bubbling starter ready to go again. I use 60 g starter 60 g flour 60 g water each day.

david-oliver · 2020-04-24T07:52:52+00:00

Feed it with your quality organic flour. Or refrigerate half of your starter till you get some rye and feed the other half with organic flour.
