Megs tips:

* Do NOT go anywhere while toasting the sesame seeds. They turn from perfectly toasted to nasty burnt up, bitter little things in the blink of an eye. Keep close watch on them!
* If you do not have toasted muesli, you can make your own using rolled oats (which you can toast briefly in the oven), sultanas, and any other kinds of dried fruits you like.
* Store in an airtight container - it will keep for some time (if you can resist eating it too quickly)!
