Am I the only American who likes vegemite? And marmite. One of my mother's best friends was Australian. She used to make "fairy bread" for my birthday. Eekghad.

Well, um, I just have to ask. When did you last partake of fresh cow dung, lol.

i grew up around farm animals, the stuff can splatter all over the place in the worst directions.

Vegemite is yummy...

I think the cake thing with fruit you are talking about is pavalova.

As for coke that is grose no matter where it comes from.

I love to make pizzas using large Portabella mushrooms. Just put some olive oil on the pan and then make your pizza using the mushroom cap turned upside down as the "pizza crust". Then just pile on your ingredients: sauce, cheese, veggies, turkey pepperoni, etc. It really is very, very good!

Gawd, does EVERYTHING come in a can there? pizza dough? Lol.

We're not quite that advanced here, sorry guys. And biscuits are Cookies, we dont have the other kind of biscuits either.

Kel, pizza dough is so easy, just make proper pizza dough. I only do it in the breadmaker, so the recipe wouldnt be right, but google one, its pretty much like a scone dough with yeast, which is not at all scary and very easy. Or buy a few frozen pizza bases (but I dont like them, they're too thick for me) and use a cookie cutter to cut smaller bases from them.

But you have those way cool Cookies that you bite the corners off of and suck coffee/tea into. I think they are called tim tams. My boss is from Perth and she gave me some for Christmas last year.

For the mini pizzas I would go to costco and get a huge box of BagelBites. Kid love them. But I'm not much of a cook either.

Yes! Pavlova!

And coke in the US was my biggest addiction. MMMMM.

If we had it in the house, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

7 months sober rofl.

Apparently, but some of us are actually gastronomic snobs who make everything from scratch. Don't believe everything you hear about Americans :)

It's SO easy to make pizza dough, tons cheaper, and it won't have any of the preservatives and added trans fats and junk that come in the can. Go to epicurious.com, search for pizza dough, and you will find a gazillion good recipes to make your own.

Those are Tim Tams. And what you are describing is called a Tim Tam Orgasm, lol. LOL.

For the benefit of the uninitiated, a Tim Tam is just a rectangular chocolate biscuit with a softish centre (does anyone actually KNOW what it is) and you bite of diagonally opposite corners. Insert one corner into your coffee, suck and then cram the entire biscuit into your mouth as it dissolves.

Mmmmm.

And oh yes, a pavlova. I was racking my brain trying to think of a "cake" with cocktail fruit. Pav is meringue and cream with fruit.

I dont like tim tams at all, never have.

Now the mint slice, that is another story.

I am not fond of pavlova either, I dont go much on meringue.

I ended up making the pizzas on short cut pastry, I didnt end up with time to muck around.

They turned out ok, but I am going to give them a go next weekend with the dough made from scratch.

Totally off topic tho, I have really been craving a works hamburger. I cant believe after 18 mths I start craving for one....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
