Hi Mafalda! I'm hoping to go to Portugal this summer. I'll definitely be going to Lisbon but hopefully will make it to a few other places too. Where are you from? Can you recommend any nice cities to visit which won't be too overcrowded with tourists? Hope to see you round on DC!

Oh, wow! That's fantastic. Thank you so much!

I only got the first 2 right :wacko:

I've been to Germany a few times and I can't tell you how much I looooooove kase sahne torte. I love that it's so creamy and it's delicious with mandarin on top. Does anyone have an authentic recipe (in English) which I can use to make this for myself? Otherwise I'll have to make the 4 hour...

I would cook some now and the rest in a couple of days. Definitely don't refreeze them raw. You might end up eating them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a few days but I can't imagine thawed out and reheated chicken wings being very nice. Then again, I don't like any meat which has been...

That's great to hear. I'd love to try out some of your recipes so I hope you'll post them.

Welcome to Kay the Kiwi from a proud Aussie! :cool: I hope you'll post a few traditional Kiwi recipes for us!

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to write with an Aussie accent or is that just in my head. :lol: Welcome to the forum, fellow Aussie.
