Exchange Is No Robbery

Best in the world oil is going for eight euros fifty a litre. Which is less than the production costs. How did I get caught up in baby economics? We've got lots of oil but so has everyone else. Honestly - I can do much harder economics than this.

So if you want some glorious oil you will have to come and drink it here - for free - then at least I can put you all under an obligation. Anthropology strikes again.

extrefI wish! Cannot get enough of Italy. I am taking a walking tour (Gourmet Safari)of a little part of Italy in my country in a couple of weeks, lots of goodies to be bought and plenty of tasting. Will pick up various Italian produce along the way including oil I hope. Lots to be done before Xmas, BBQ has to be serviced for turkey, sucking pig etc.. have placed the seafood order, ocean prawns and Hawkesbury River oysters. Lots of parties to attend and people to catch up with.Love this time of year.Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

I wanted to come, and they said I could, but they are coming here and it's too far on my own.

What are Hawkesbury River oysters? Really oysters? Or on horseback and rather dull?

I wanna go to lots of parties (puts back head and starts to howl).

bewriThe Sydney Rock Oyster is a species of oyster which is grown all over NSW. The Hawkesbury River Sydney Rock Oyster can be the best depending on the crop, creamy plump and smelling of the sea is what you look for.Also the Wallace Lake Sydney Rock is delicious, but again a different flavour, it depends on the water. I think you could entice Mr HG to join you if you break the journey by sea.For instance, if one is planning on writing a book in the next couple of years it is a perfect way of avoiding the boring part of sea travel. Fly half way to Oz and then take in the Pacific Island region all the way to Sydney. We guarantee to entertain you.
Merry Xmas.
