Hee, hee, hee - Will and I have really noticed the difference in branding of products from North America to Australia. I guess there is some strong market research (and some good facts) behind some of the names of products below.
(p.s. - Sultana Bran is actually named after the Sultana grape that is grown in Australia and used specifically in this product - it makes sense. However, Rice Bubble Squares don't roll off the tongue as easily as Rice Krispie Squares)!The past week has seen the humidity really climb and spring showers/storms blow through. The rain doesn't cool things down here though but rather adds to the already high humidity. The smallest of tasks gets a good sweat going. Even Will, hot weather worshipper that he is, is looking forward to getting home to cooler temperatures and a white Christmas. We both find it exceedingly strange to listen to Christmas carols being blared in the local shopping centres while the temperature outdoors continues to climb.
As the weather continues to warm here going from spring into summer, it's getting a bit dry around town. Local fire crews are preparing for "The Dry" by doing controlled burns of old cane fields and vacant lots. Will and I couldn't resist the one day after work to hop in Tara's car and drive to the outskirts of town to get some pictures. Let me tell you, we got close - you could feel the heat through the window and hear the roar of the flames as we drove by!
