TFW you comb your shelves looking for #headlesscovers for #photoadaynov16 challenge, find a book that you've owned for years but have never read, you skim the first 10 pages and discover that it is AWESOME ?? This is moving up the TBR with a bullet!
Quote for all the Aussies: "she felt like a crushed Sao biscuit at the bottom of a tin of assorted creams" ?
TheLondonBookworm I do this all the time!!!! So many unread books it's embarrassing 😂 7y
EnidBiteEm 😂 Given it's the age of no sugar, Assorted Creams have always been overrated 😂 7y
Marchpane @EnidBiteEm hahaha! And in the age of low-carb and gluten-free everything, does anyone eat Saos anymore? 😁 7y

EnidBiteEm Do they even sell them now? I must have eaten over 1,000 with marg and Vegemite in my school days ... but never the upmarket Vanilla Slice version. Sugar AND carbs 😍 7y
Lizpixie I love my saos! I lived on the things when I was pregnant, can't beat them with some kraft cheese and a slice of tomato with salt & cracked pepper. Yummy. I might go make some now.😋 7y
Marchpane @EnidBiteEm @Lizpixie for me it was Saladas and Promite. In the lunchbox Every Single Day. Mmmm, salt 😋 7y
EnidBiteEm Promite! So much better than Vegemite!, but also more sugar. I was devo when the sugar police told me 😂 @Lizpixie Do it! 7y
EnidBiteEm @Lixpixie Kraft plastic singles were my favourite, until I became intolerant to 160B. Sometimes I still eat them on the sly, but with an antihistamine 😂 All that smooth plasticky goodness 😀 7y
Lizpixie @EnidBiteEm I prefer the blue box kraft cheese. It's the only cheese I'll eat, except for Italian food. 7y
Marchpane @EnidBiteEm remember jaffles? Toasted till the crusts are rock hard and the plastic cheese filling is like molten lava. Ouch! 7y
tpixie @EnidBiteEm @Lizpixie @Marchpane I'm learning a lot of food vocabulary this am!!! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Marchpane is this specific book set somewhere in Australia? 7y
Marchpane @JanuarieTimewalker13 yes, it's set in postwar (1948) in a housing commission camp (slum) in the outskirts of Sydney. That makes it sound depressing but it's written in a humorous way. 7y
Marchpane @tpixie lol, got carried away reminiscing about the highly processed foods of our childhoods 😄 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Marchpane ooooh, sounds good!! Thank you!! I can't recall any books I have read set in Australia. I'm stacking this. And looking for more🙂 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @EnidBiteEm, #teamvegemite 😏 7y
tpixie 😆🍕🌭🍟🌮🍡🍧🍬🍪 7y
RealLifeReading Yay! Headless covers! 7y
Marchpane @RealLifeReading yay, thank you for the prompt that led to me cracking this book open! 7y
LeahBergen I'm having fun learning about these "exotic" foods! ? More please! @EnidBiteEm @Lizpixie 7y
EnidBiteEm @Marchpane I still have a jaffle maker. Our sandwich press blew up, so it's jaffles all the time. Glad we could be of assistance, @tpixie 😂 @LeahBergen Cheezels are another delicacy (round, bright orange chip things), but if you do ever find a box you must put one on each finger first before eating. You can only eat them ten at a time 😂 7y
EnidBiteEm @thegirlwiththelibrarybag #never #promiteismyfriend 7y
tpixie @EnidBiteEm in USA we have Bugels corn chips. Shaped in a cone. I always liked to put them on my fingers before eating- like witches fingernails ! 7y
Bette That's terrific! 👍❤️ 7y
