Divine ,Luscious Rhubarb

April 27th 2012 09:34
Not sure if everyone isa Rhubarb lover but the way I prepare them they are delicious and everyone always fights over the last bits of it.
I first clean the ends and the stalk but if they are fresh and seasonal they are easy and they should not have any blemishes or marks on them.
One way :
Cut the stalks evenly , place into saucepan and just enough water to cover them,
add sugar to taste and a few cloves.

Bring to boil , remove from stove and cover. Leave it in the saucepan as it cooks in there.
Check that it does not get to soft, as some will not like it soft and fibery.
I do though .

Let it cool and then serve with delicious varieties of ice creams, my favourite is hokey pokey wih it. Or yummy whipped cream with bits of toffee scrunched ontop.

Second way :
Preheat oven to 180C
Clean and cut stalks as before , place a little water in an oven pan spread out rhubarb in it .
Drizzle honey to taste and add a few cloves.

Cover with alfoil and bake in oven till soft.

All the flavours oooze into the Rhubarb ,let it cool.

Serve with your favourite icecream or cream .

Very easy dessertfor any occasion and looks fab with the colour of the rhubarb being so vibrant and the cream or ice cream textures as well.

Actually very hungry now for dessert.

I do have some rhubarb ready and will definitely have some now ....Enjoy scrumosity , totally Orgasmic food.

Incompetent St George Bank

April 27th 2012 08:54
Another buffoon in banking the ST GEORGE BANK.

Had a friend ring me this afternoon telling me they now understand the gripe I have with the banking system of many banks.

The bank did not alert him that someone has been taking money out of their bank account overseas, a country they have never even been to.
The friend immediately rang the St GEORGE BANK and he told them he picked this problem up with his account , they told him that as the transactions were pending they could not do anything and he already had something like $4,000 out of his account gone.

This account is also directly linked to his mortgage payment therefore the mortgage payment would not go through and he would be fined.

Ridiculous state of affairs , he was beside himself as everything is linked to this account electronically for all his payments.He fronts up at the ST GEORGE BANK personally,tels them what the problem is and they tell him to fill in a form , how DUMB can they be ....the man needs help immediately so all his payments go through to the right accounts ...
He need the matter attended to immediately .

No the ST GEORGE BANK staff are not sympathetic and tell him he will be charged for all the payments that are overdrawn as his money is not there in the account.

DUMB DUMB people at ST GEORGE BANK is all I can say , NO EMPATHY for someone who is on a tight budget, cannot afford a cent either way to be charged extra , has a family to feed , children to send to school and his bill cannot be paid , NO FAULT OF HIS , someone has stolen his money and the banks so called vigilent fraud sqaud never even picks it up ......
THen when he tells them what is going on , he is told nothing can be done ....

Again a lot of BULL....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

SHAME & DISGUST again to the banks and again this time to THE ST GEORGE BANK IN OZ!

Stress , Out of Pocket , Banks no Action Attitude ....................YES , HE IS ALSO Lodging a complaint with the FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN ........
He will not pay a cent for the problems he is incurring and to right ...

What is the matter with the Banking system when we are in a technological age , all they have to do is press a few buttons , pick up a phone and put the poor buggers mind to rest that he will not be charged extra for problems he did not cause , that his payments for his mortgage will be okay .......................

What if he has a heart attack and drops dead from the stress who will pay for the funeral , will there be money to access for his wife to get bills paid will his children starve.

ST GEORGE BANK get a grip on reality ., train your staff to act in the right manner , where is the humanity in todays world.

The call centre you work with do they know their is a human being on the other end of the line , do the bank staff know they are dealing with real human people and not in another world fantasy style other life.

Or do we just have to fight tooth and nail for our rights and the sysytems that god forbid cannot be moved or changed one little millimetre unless someone kicks and screams loud enough. Tragic life has become is all I can say ...and it does not need to be this way at all.

I am a nobody in this world not famous , not rich just an average person who works very hard for very little and I never ever had to fight so hard for things as I do now .....I ask WHY ....THE BANKS ARE Bailed out by governments but who bails out those who lose their jobs ,or cannot get a job because of their age (use by date is past) have issues with banks , the media, the telephone companies , the energy companies and the list goes on .

One gets very tired of fighting for their rights , it should not be so....hard to exist .

No Resolution with Banks

April 27th 2012 08:15
As yet I have had no satisfaction with CITIBANK on the previuos posts problems regarding the stuff up with the foreign currency transfer.

What to do ????the people receiving the money at the other end are out of pockets $55 and I am out of pocket $80.
None of the problems were caused by the person receiving monies or myself.

Next Monday there will be a complaint lodged to the Financial Ombudsmen as the bank does not seem to be able to sort the ridiculous situation out.

I was right in the previous post that Banks are ROBBERS!

Worse than ever today when people are struggling to make ends meet in business and private lives they are being mercilessly massacred by BANKS and how does one try and fight them to recoup the monies ripped out of everyone illegally.

I am taking a stand and it may not seem a lot of money but how many people do they do it to and no one fights back, well I am taking a stand, Enough is Enough!!!

Financial Ombudsman here I come.

Gambling in Oz

January 22nd 2012 07:05
Disappointment reigns in the meer fact that the clubs and the poker machine industry and general gambling fraternity has such pull in or society today.

People are in dire straits they cannot pay mortgages, many people are not able to pay bills , have food on the table etc. They are though able to bet on horses, poker machines, the tennis the football , the cricket , the dogs even how fast the cockroaches can race, anything really that is deemed as fair sport. The there is scratchies, lotto and the list goes on, people are trying to chase that ultimate win in the hope they can be rich

on Wikileaks Another Fair Game Situation

December 5th 2010 12:15
Thanks for the comment, yes I did read the latest report .

Rudd at least spoke the truth. What pace can China tolerate is the question everyone wants to know?

It's called treading preciously on delicate feet.
Many precious moments Tibet, Taiwan, Google ,Undervalued Currency RMB, the state of global economies and the teeter tottering balances as it states in the leak and it really isn't a leak as it is spoken about all the time.So what's the fuss????

It's the domino affect , one little hiccup or sneeze and China , USA Oz UK, Russia etc etc etc countries react. To wow Wikileaks!!!

Nothing new actually . But wikileaks has just ignited peoples interest to it all.

The more the govt's make an issue of things and create the witch hunt like the inquisition or when the Americans hunted all the witches in their past history ,the more people will want to find out, why why why....the witch hunt...
