    Cloggy people aren't known for their love of cooking so what I would consider normal ingredients are considered speciality here.
    Can't seem to find summat as simple as baking powder in the shops.

    Next on the list is curing my own bacon, don't get me started on the quality of what passes for bacon over here.
    That's hard core chef stuff, norrahe!

    Also you are right, we have so many specialised shops (Indian, Thai, Korean, Brazilian, Italian) around here that I take it for granted I can just about buy anything like fresh tamarind, fresh curry and lime leaves, spices, ginseng. At these places you can buy large bags of spices at a fraction of the supermarket cost.
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                Keep your friends close & your enemies closer.

                P.S. don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

                  Well the wavplayer PIC is running, despite the clock oscillator stopping when I put a scope probe on it.

                  Most odd.

                  Tomorrow we shall firkle about with the software in the pic to see if we can make it do sommat sensible.

                  The DAC requires strobing which is a bit of a pain.

                  Memo to self: remember to select simpler parts in the future.

                  Om.
