Did I mention that we have made our own mincemeat this year, for the first time? It smelled delicious and I can't wait to taste the mince pies when I make them! The mincemeat had a good healthy slug...

Although the weather here is still warm enough to do without the heating for most of the day, my thoughts are turning to winter foods. Stews, hotpots, curries etc., but also looking for new ideas for...

Ohhhh - the onions that look like tiny leeks are known here as green onions. They're usually added to tuna salad or egg salad sandwiches (just chopped in raw with a bit of mayonnaise or salad...
Pot Noodles, those little plastics tubs that you just add boiling water to, now you either “love em or hate em” a bit like Marmite. A few months ago I was tempted to buy a couple as a quick snack...

I have not had pot noodles for many years but I remember them as an adequate snack.
At lunchtime we usually have a light snack. Perhaps a sandwich or something on toast. My wife also always has a...
DH does the shopping and potatoes are usually on the list, but the last lot he bought turned to slush when cooked - and, just to add insult to injury, he'd bought a sackful! :( However, such is my...

Are you a coffee aficionado or could you drink black tar?
I do totally enjoy my coffee and so long as it isn't too strong I'm good for a couple cups in the morning. Prefer French Roast varieties but...

I bought a Magimix 190 Citiz. No milk frother, don't like that sort of coffee and this has a small footprint so takes up little space. It is made by Krups and at £135 I hope it will last more than a...
I didn't plant strawberries however there were some when I moved in here. Last summer I got nothing out of them but I did throw a whole bunch of compost on them last fall and shoved in a few of the...
I went to see a Naturopath doctor. We have quite a few in this area and the naturopaths were very good with the daughter and the twins who seem allergic to anything and everything. The daughter...

Since the last surgery seems my cholesterol which was fine prior has now gone bad. I have almost NO good cholesterol and the bad is high. Never was like that before and I had all the blood work done...
When I'm in Trinidad I love this recipe and finally got a copy of it. My question was - do you now what Chadon Beni might be IN ENGLISH? OR what could be substituted for it? I've asked my Trini...

No photos yet. I just got the recipe emailed to me this morning. Don't have the ingredients yet but SOON! It is rather hot and there it can ignite wood but here I'll make a more mellow version :)
People over on the Blue side are always going on about the wonderful vegetables available in Egypt and tend to forget that our are of an equally good quality if you look for them. Some stuff does...

Funny thing about Asthma - when I was a kid, hardly any other child had asthma, and if one did, they were singled out in some way. And yet today, every other person has it, it seems. I've often...
I've noticed here both with my daughter who is an avid cook and always making or baking something (didn't inherit that from me) and in the local coffee shop lunch style restaurants that they're...

Since we're just a little better than a month out 'til THE DAY ho ho ho and all that Christmasy frivolity - has anybody started Christmas baking? Does anybody DO Christmas baking?
I don't often get cravings but lately I've been on a sushi crave. Sushi to me is better than sex! It is delicious and my favourite is what is known as BC Roll.
Tis that time of year again when the chill starts setting in that I start thinking of making hot soups. Chicken is one of the easiest soups to make and am sure almost everybody has their own...

I know I definitely sleep better when it is cooler. When the temperatures go up my ability to sleep goes down. I've often thought about buying a portable A/C unit just for the bedroom so I can keep...
I wish someone would invent a truly non-stick wok! :urm: I have tried many and all sorts of methods but my fried rice still sticks! :td

My rice sticks. Doesn't much matter what I do my rice sticks. I've given up trying to figure it out and just live with having to soak the wok in hot water soon as I get the food out of it.
