Why is broccoli sold by the kg and cauliflower by each or a half?

So they can charge you for the stupidly long stems.....

Can't you get one that send an email and alert to your iPhone when the toast is ready?

Email is so last century
Surely if you have an iPhone you should be getting one with an App

In the US they sell brussels sprouts on the stalk

But you can eat the stems. They are very tasty, just need a little longer cooking than the heads.

Yes, I read the article. He is going to appeal apparently - hope he loses big time. Beaches should be public property IMO unless there is a particular/historical reason that one is privately owned.

Good to see Amber Heard doesn't bear a grudge against Barnaby for threatening to euthanise her dogs:

The stems are ok. I usually leave the stem as I cut the heads down the stem.

Who? .

 

[Katie]

Who? .

She's an actor, who, along with her former husband, were charged with violating Australia's biosecurity laws by bringing their pet dogs to the Gold Coast from OS and note declaring them.
IIRC, Barnaby Joyce had quite a public dig at them/led the charge for them being charged.

Who? .

The former wife of Johnny Depp.

And since then the Ex squeeze of Elon Musk.

I am aware of who she is, I guess the sarcasm doesn't carry across very well on this medium

It all depends on the tone of voice!

At least you're paying attention. Amber Heard did not click but realise who she is now.

Reasonably so. They smuggled 2 dogs into Australia. Everyone else has to have dogs quarantined for 6 weeks maybe 3 months.

And then moved onto Tim Worner of Channel 7?

They are the best part imo. We always cut them up into small pieces and steam, same with cauliflower stems.

I always try to snap off the stems. Sometimes I can't, but F paying for that.

There was a time my local Coles would charge your a higher per Kg rate if you bought the heads only and left the stalks.
