Cachaca
Hi Carol. You can find cachaca (Brazilian spirit) at the liquor store (forgot the name) at Mends Street in South Perth (the street on to the way to the South Perth foreshore/jetty). Last time I checked "Pitu" and "Velho Barreiro Gold" bottles cost approximately 50-60 dollars.

Yorkshire puddings that rise

Bring your ingredients (egg, milk and flour) to room temperature before combining. This will help the puddings to rise in the oven, as the warmth will create the steam earlier, thus creating the puff in the puddings.
