The US should absolutely step into line with the rest of the word and go metric. I find it astonishing that a country which prides itself on being ahead of the rest should lag so far behind in this one area - like half a century or more! There's a very strong case for world-wide standardisation...

Depending on the season, you could try any of the following, and many more not mentioned: Apricots Peaches Nectarines Bananas Rockmelon (cantaloupe) Honeydew melon Watermelon Kiwifruit Plums Pears - try Nashi pears for a change in flavour Grapes - white, red, black pawpaw (papaya) - strong...

I've done a little research, nothing too heavy. In brief, it's like any other herb. It has its upside and its downside. It really depends on how you look at it. It has medicinal purposes, most of which have been corroborated by research; it isn't tolerated by some individuals; and it definitely...

I lOVE HP sauce! For those who don't know it, think of it a bit like the American Ketchup, except it's brown, and tastes better! I discovered this recipe, haven't tried it. I'd be using treacle instead of molasses, however. In Australia, molasses is a stock-food! Homemade H.P. Sauce...

They'll be telling us what we can and can't do in the bedroom next! Keep out of my private space, law-makers!

'You are not the boss of me' is perfectly grammatically correct, if a little antiquated in usage. You can say 'my boss' with equal correctness. Here are some more examples of the possessive: my friend's mother = the mother of my friend your friend = the friend of you our friend - the friend...

In my subtropical garden, I have fresh herbs all year round, and I do tend to take it for granted. I think I can understand the thrill you experienced, when you normally only have fresh herbs for a few months of the year. How nice for you! There is nothing better than fresh herbs.

Why do we have to go to a hairdresser to get rid of unwanted hair?

Now, why didn't you post this before Christmas??? :smile: It's definitely a keeper for me, however, so I forgive you. Thanks for posting. I'm going to add some Rum Essence to it because it's likely to be a good replacement for the high-sugar Rum Balls I usually make for my son.

I did a quick google search for 'food terms in foreign languages' and came up with this site. You will probably find more on your own searches, but it's a start. Language Software

Another late thought. How about a little book about herbs and spices - how to use them, what goes with what, with a few recipes?

Well, now I've learned something! I did not know that turmeric leaves were edible. I did a google search for Nasi Ulam and it looks very interesting indeed! Thanks for the tip!

Turmeric is a perennial, but even here in the subtropics it dies down to nothing during winter, then pops back up again in spring (fairly late in spring, actually!). Each time I dig some up, I replant a few pieces of the root, so I have several plants. It grows much like ginger, which of course...

Some good suggestions here, but I'd also toss in some Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Good for a beginner, and very versatile. I think you need a 'lemon' herb in there. You might also consider some sesame seeds, a bottle of REAL vanilla, bay leaves, and a good curry blend. I wouldn't give either...

By golly, by gee, if a recipe calls for 'dried', and I have 'fresh' available, there is no hesitation, no question at all - I use fresh whenever possible. There is absolutely NO comparison in the taste - fresh is always best (with the possible exception of bay leaves and saffron and one or two...

Use 2-3 times as much fresh herb as the dried herb called for in a recipe. (To put this in reverse: if the recipe calls for fresh herbs, and you only have dried - use roughly 1/3-1/2 dried herb to the amount of fresh herb required.) Be very, very careful using fresh or dried rosemary whole...

They knitted a jumper! What else??

Double-click on the google image. They are knitting something, for your, and perhaps we'll find out what, tomorrow!

Celebrex is an anti-anflammatory that has recently been the subject of warnings (I think causes heart-attacks in some people who take large or frequent doses, but don't quote me). I think you might mean Celepram, which is Citalopram, called by many names including Celexa, or Cipramil, even...

I can say that both my first AND second marriages were big mistakes! As for cooking disasters, my biggie wasn't exactly a mistake, as it happened. Everything turned out beautifully! BUT..... Friend was visiting from interstate on business, a rare event, and came for dinner. I spent a lot of...

Christmas isn't a happy time for a lot of people. According to the statistics, it's a time when many relationships break up, when family fights happen, and of course people die at Christmas just like at any other time of the year. You don't tell us what precipitated your tears, and you don't...

Kiwifruit used to be known as Chinese Gooseberries, until they New Zealanders took them over! But they aren't real gooseberries at all. Kiwifruit is Actinidia chinensis, A. deliciosa. Gooseberries are Physalis peruviana, P. edulis (and others). Also called Cape Gooseberry or Ground Cherry...
