Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

@Adge The name comes from fish being from the surf and cattle eating turf (grass lol)

That's interesting @Determined I've never come across that.

Mind you, I rarely eat out.

Do you have those Pie floaters, where you are?

I think it's a Qld dish, I've only ever heard of it in Qld.

It's a meat pie sitting in a bowl of pea soup @Anna88

Several Queenslanders told me they love them. My Mum came from Qld.

I've never come across them - I'm vegetarian, so I don't go looking for meat dishes.

@Adge @Determined @Anna88

Pie floaters are a South Australian delicacy. There most famous seller is the "Pie Cart" a mobile unit that sells this gourmet delight near the Adelaide Railway station.

@Former-Memberstill waiting for your pics to appear.

@Adge Very amused by the presentation of your pic, I don't think Pete and Manu would give very high points on MKR for that dish 😂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's fine @Anna88 We're not competing on MKR

It's a Genuine recipe (menu), it really does look like that.

@Former-Member's picture is a bit fancier than mine, because it has Tomato Sauce on top of the Pie & Pea Soup....
