Spent 50c today on a can of coke, and DF spent nothing!
My boss pulled a bucket of raw sugar in from the back storage shed because he needed some for his house. (we hardly use it for anything at work) Last time he did that he said I could take some home, and I did this time too. I think I probably took about 2.5kgs!
He also told me to help myself to some corn starch, as we hardly use it either, so I took about the same amount in that too.
I know you use corn starch as a thickener for pies and stuff, and to make custard, but what else can you make to eat with it?
--------------------------------------
We were at wits end with Jed today. He has been so fussed over not being around DF's dads dog he hasn't eaten ardly anything for two-three days. He won't eat unless you hand feed him, which we are NOT going to do! He is starting to get a bit skinny I'm worried about him. Today he whined all day at work with DF whenever DF went away from him.
But then, when we got home, we started to teach him the 'sit' command, and use dry food as the treat (so he would eat!). Then DF had a shower and I decided to just do some more 'sit' commands just to make him eat some more, and I put a handful of dry food in a plastic container and he started eating it if I patted him! So then I fed him some more handfuls, and then went and got his meat and he wolfed it down!
So glad THAT has been sorted.
He is also responding to being sprayed with a water sprayer when he whines. I think if we can keep that up we might manage to teach him not to whine. It will be a slow process, but as long as we begin to see results we will persevere!
what to use corn starch for?

I also dip my beer-battered tofu into a salt, pepper, seaweed and cornstarch mixture before dipping it in the beer batter.
