Sunday Selections #722
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.
A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.
Nothing rude or vulgar though.
And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.
The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.
Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often.
Charlotte's colour of the month is new start yellow:
Here is what I found:
the back cover of one of my cookbooks
a book I forgot I had
my tupperware measuring cups, can you believe these are almost 50 years old?
and a tupperware bowl, younger than the measuring cups but not by much.
yellow flower petals on a coffee mug
a yellow veggie peeler
a yellow paper clip
yellow frangipani on my oven gloves. Most of these yellows don't quite match the new start colour but I think Charlotte will forgive me.
o a recent road trip with my brother to visit our sister, our first stop was in Two Wells, a small town north of Virginia, which is also north of Adelaide. In the RSL garden I saw this statue of a dog
with this plaque honouring the Australian Military Dogs that were killed in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2013.
seats with Lion supports
this on the door of a men's hairdresser/barber, possibly also a tattoo parlour?
a coin operated ride on tractor for the toddlers
and this Daschund seat at just the right height for kids, this is outside the Two Wells Bakery where my brother bought a pie to eat before continuing our journey.
More importantly he declared it to be the BEST PIE EVER and went back into the bakery to tell the person behind the counter who then took him outside to tell the Bakery owner who was very pleased to hear it.
If you are ever up this way, and pass through Two Wells, stop at the TWO WELLS BAKERY and try their hot meat pies.
Some images from the Two Wells Bakery (via google)
Breads and buns
cream filled buns (real cream not that fake stuff)
Pasty on the left, usually a vegetable filling with maybe a smidge of meat, vegetarian oprions are available; meat pie on the right, usually beef mince and gravy (ground beef) but many other varieties are now available, these are hand held treats most often sold at footy matches.
most people get a dollop of tomato sauce on their pies
the song runs through three times with each version being slightly different.
No twins this week, I don't have any new photos of them.
Love all the yellow and memories on that tupperware photos, we all had those mainly in the dreadul colour of "harvest gold" which was so sickly. Love all the pies.

Wow, 50 years old and the plastic is still OK? Yea, 70´s colors :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy not paint a wall yellow? We have a green, an orange and a red wall.
Sad, nice statue. Ohh, the lions.
Speaking of. I just did Ingo´s hair.
Meep. Here is an Aussie who sells "Australian frozen pies". We were SO looking forward.
We´d ordered 4, I think. Nah, disappointing.
Our first Aussie car was a Holden Commodore :-)
My stepmother still has some of her Tupperware from the '70s. That stuff lasts!
ReplyDeleteThe bench with the lion supports also fits your color scheme. :)
