I mustn't have been posting much lately if this is the first time you've

I'm sure we used to get Camp brand when I was a kid. It was pretty much
bought solely to have with waffles and icecream. Seemed to be some kind
of rule in my house - if you had waffles (the sort you bought frozen and
stuck in the toaster) and icecream, you had to have maple syrup.

I bought some really nice strawberries at Penrith Woolies last year -
quite large, but not white and floury like some big strawberries are.
They were very flavoursome. From Qld, I think. Haven't bought any
strawberries for a while. Perhaps you should try growing your own! I
always mean to plant some, but haven't got around to it yet. Have to work
out the best spot for them.
