"kitchen sink sandwich" - LOL. I know them!

To answer you, open mike, LSA (DEFINITELY not LSD :-))is a ground mix of linseed(flaxseed), sunflower seeds and almonds, which we can buy quite readily in health food shops here in Oz. It is quite yummy sprinkled on oatmeal porridge. Here is a recipe to make it yourself:

L S A: (LINSEED-SUNFLOWER-ALMOND)

from Dr Sandra Foley, Goodlife Healthlink, Hamilton

1 cup whole linseeds
2/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup almonds

Blend all together in a blender, and place in a sealed jar in the fridge. This healthy mixture can be sprinkled on puddings, porridge,
used in baking such as muffins etc.

There is more about it here on this website

Oh yes, and I have a fondness for the soft boiled eggs in an egg cup and toast "soldiers", just like mum used to make. Poppagator, we can get the little egg cups here in Oz. I don't know about where you are though. As for the eggtimers - I'm not sure cos I haven't looked. I use the clock on the microwave to time things. That's kinda sad, isn't it, the old things disappearing.

Speaking of the old things, our electric jug has just stopped working - less than 12 months old, so we pulled out the kettle and started boiling our water on the gas stove. I like the friendly sight and sound of a kettle boiling on the stove so much, that I might not bother to get another electric jug!
