Don't Shoot The Messenger

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 87 - 'A Little Faded Gem'. 

We check in with Caro and Corrie's 'Goal of the Month' progress and check in with the first week of the Morrison government. 

As Barrie Cassidy exits the ABC we look at who might fill the void at our national broadcaster. Is there still a chance Waleed Aly will take the leap from commercial TV?

The foot ball world was shocked when North Melbourne coach Brad Scott stepped down last Friday. Did reporting of internal boardroom decisions push Scott sooner than he planned? 

Caro has a 'Crush of the Week' - the sensitive new age approach of Richmond coach Damien Hardwick, who's not afraid to apologise for his mistakes. 

Our 'Crush of the Week' is sponsored by The Interchange Bench - they can fill ANY professional role in any industry. Call 1800 ibench or visit www.interchangebench.com.au

Corrie's grumpy this week about Facebook and their creeping influence over politics. 

In BSF - Caro's recommending a 'faded little gem' of a book, Janette Turner Hospital Orhpeus Lost , Corrie's loving the new SBS documentary John and Yoko; Above Us Only Sky which tells the story of the making of John Lennon's Imagine album.  Caro shares a recipe from the latest edition of Gourmet Traveller Tempered Dahl.  BSF is sponsored by VitalSmarts. If you missed Geoff from VitalSmarts on the show last week (Episode 86, you can catch up HERE). Head to VitalSmart.com.au/dstm HERE for a listener offer. #CrucialConversations.

Julia's Cauliflower Cheese

Take a whole cauliflower and par boil it until it is half cooked (ie just tender). Remove it from the water so it doesn't over cook and put aside. 

Make a white sauce using equal parts butter and flour. Cook this off in a saucepan for a few minutes then add enough milk to make a thick sauce. 

Place the cauliflower in a baking dish (you can break it up if needs be) then cover with the white sauce. Sprinkle with grated strong tasty cheese and bake at 180c until the cheese browns.
