Listography: Top 5 Biscuits!

I'm joining KATE today in one of my favourite foods! BISCUITS!

Coming from New Zealand, I love the Griffins biscuit range, which can be hard to find here in Western Australia. When we go home for a visit, we always buy our favourites to have with our cuppa! We can buy them at the "Kiwi Shop" here but they are rather expensive.

My TOP FIVE are:


1. Sultana Pasties
These are yummy if you are a lover of sultanas. Not overly sweet and just the right size.

2. Stripes

The girls favourite biscuit  (they are not big biscuit fans in Australia) Chocolate on one side and stripey on the other. Shortbread base. Very easy to eat a few at a time :)

 3. SuperWine


My favourite from the wine biscuit range. Definitely a dunker type biscuit! Lovely when two put together with a bit of butter.

4. Mallowpuffs

We can buy these locally at The Reject Shop, and Arnotts have a similar one in the supermarkets which doesn't quite taste as good. Only 10 in a packet, so they don't last long around here.

5. Chocolate Chippies

I am a huge fan of choc chip biscuits, and these are by far the best I've had.

All this talk of biscuits is making me want some. Might have to make a trip to the Kiwi Shop. At least it will work out cheaper than flights home!




Hot Weather

Perth is bracing for its hottest consecutive run of high temperatures since 1965, with the mercury forecast to hit 38C or more for the next seven days.
The heatwave includes a prediction of 40C for Australia Day on Thursday, with thousands expected to converge on Perth's beaches to escape the heat.

Weather Bureau climate information officer John Relf said there used to be a saying for this week's temperatures. "It's called no relief in sight," he said.
In addition to the extreme temperatures, the bureau is predicting strong winds tomorrow.
The impending heatwave has the Fire and Emergency Services Authority on high alert.
A Western Power spokeswoman said the power grid would not be pushed to its maximum because schools were still closed.
The Health Department has urged people to watch out in the heat for the elderly, children and babies.
The last time Perth experienced six days of temperatures of 37.8C or more - above the old 100-degree Fahrenheit mark - was from December 31, 1964, to January 5, 1965.


I'm glad school is still on holidays here!
