Tangerine and Cinnamon 
That link to Saudi, milk and oil is fascinating. Usual brilliant round up.
Thanks so much! I love that article too – so, so interesting.
Great links (as usual!) – I love the custard cream castle. Perhaps not as tasty looking as the TimTam chocolate colosseum!
Thanks!
But, you know, Tim Tams improve just about anything.
That’s true – it’s almost cheating to use them! 😉
Thanks so much for linking to my post on baseball hotdogs. I always enjoy your links!
You’re welcome! It’s *such* a lovely post.
