mmmm yum lentil soup mmmm Hi Expatgirl, i cooked some porridge and ate a whole bowl before i noticed flecks. I looked in the box and it was writhing with tiny crawlys (like little maggots) It didnt make me ill and years later i made flapjack, the same bugs were in it but i still cooked it (i was...

in the words of the great George Formby, "i dont like your peaches, cause they are full of stones, but i like bananas because they have no bones"

Hi, well i used a cup of water, a knob of butter and about 2cups of demerara sugar. I heated them until the mixture was bubbling and then i added the nuts. I kept stirring till the liquid was gone (by then they had crystallized) ,and then i turned them out into a metal tray to cool. Hmm maybe...

ahhh thankyou for putting me straight :smile:

Hi, could someone tell me what "all purpose" flour is? is it plain or self raising flour?

Ill have to try that, at the moment ive got orange toenails from the moisturiser/tanner lotion i bought. my legs look like ive been tangoed :lol:

thats why they make erasers and tippex. treat it as learning curve :smile:(says me)

Hi Garry, i think it means if you cut your guest a slice, he will want to come and visit you again. It certainly worked with me, visiting this little old lady. It took me a year to get this recipe from her. She was a little lady and very mild and gentle. I loved her. Thankyou Vera Race RIP

Hi, i use cinammon for flavouring. How can i stop the glaze from crystallizing? Does yours come out shiny?

thanks peeps. Well i dont mind starting at the very beginning. say jam tarts. Then i could attempt pies couldnt i? I gave up trying years ago but from what i remember, i used the standard ingredients, measured carefully, everything cold or cool, mixed in a blender and turned out, wrapped and...

slurp slurp, oh sorry just wiping the drool from my chin. Your gravy sounds amazing. I would wonder about the meatballs and jam, are you sure youre not in the family way? Greens water is the water which has turned green from boiling green vegetables in. Any greens,broccoli...

tee hee, ive mixed up metric and ounces before, and i wasnt sozzled.(urmaniac, hmm, maybe ill get the courage to use it, one day.)

ha ha that is funny ( im too terrified to use my pressure cooker, its never been used, you could have it if you lived nearer) and a shame that you cant reproduce the flavour.

Its a simple thing to make, but for me its downright impossible. I have tried many times and have given up. Ive even asked our local baker to make me a batch and he did. I took it home,rolled it out, used it and baked it..............it came out awful. Ive used frozen pastry, still no luck. I...

yes some mistakes can be quite expensive. And i understand about the timing. sometimes my roast dinners fail because the spuds are still rock hard. I once tried to make lemon meringue pie and some simple jam tarts. They came out of the oven looking like the slime from outer space and an...

oh Poutine, your charts very useful. ill print that off thankyou. Ive always wondered how much a "cup" was.

I got this recipe when i was on holiday in northern Portugal.It makes a great barbeque. ingredients pork steaks bay leaves garlic red wine sea salt method the day before, bash the steaks nice and flattish, rub salt in both sides and lay meat in dish. crush garlic, crumble bay leaves and...

i certainly will thanks for the support. You just made me remember a recipe i got while i was on holiday in Portugal. I must put it on this site.

How about a section on recipes that have failed but you can laugh about it. For example, i was heating a couple of pizzas whilst getting my 2girls ready for school. It was for harvest festival and i intended to slice it and pack it up to take to school. Well the pizzas burned, a really dark...
