I've only ever found canned tomatillos, Carol
I bought some fresh ones earlier in the summer at .. Moore Wilsons (where else?). They weren't particularly expensive so I guess that means they were grown here rather than imported. But no luck since.
I'm so looking forward to your drop scone recipe, Amy.
In her book 'Feast', Nigella lawson waxes enthusiastic (even more than usual) about something called Hachapuri, which is a Georgian cheesebread with feta, ricotta and mozzarella. She tried it in St Petersburg, had many attempts to replicate the recipe at home, and finally had a Proustian moment at a Georgian cafe in Hackney (and got the recipe).

Has anyone seen Sanguinello/Blood Oranges on sale in NZ?
And while on obscure produce, does anyone know where I could get fresh tomatillos? They make fantastic salsa verde but are very hard to get in Wellington.

What are the points of similarity/difference between a cheese puff and a cheese drop scone?
Stephen, Amy: you haven't lived until you've had a Southland cheese roll (recipe posted on request).

Not wanting to gloat, but in Welliington the excellent Moore Wilsons has a wondrous range of good things (yes, even cat food) at supermarket prices. And it's owned and operated by a local family. And they support local producers such as those from up the Kapiti Coast and the Wairarapa.

The guy really is a national treasure.
Aye.
Here he is laying down the lhaw:
Which is why medical authorities and the media need to get a grip. Their insane and unnatural desire to always adopt the worst-case scenario is eroding our confidence in both them and their judgement. Mexico is a dirty, dirty country, like most of the Third World.
Take that, WHO!

And is there a word for the sin of pride in one's own comprehensive ignorance? Michael Laws' column on swine flu would take it.
Pig ignorance?

I really value Poneke's presenece, but his take on scepticism is often all attitude and not much reason.
He's very enlightened on some topics, unreconstructed on others. the only consistent thing about him is his inconsistency..

You're way ahead of me, Emma. (I was wrong, he didn't score the winning try at all).

Who was the French player who scored the winning try against the ABs in the 2007 WC? He must be a contender for the Devil Incarnate, badness through and through.
