Heck, everything in moderation. I'm all for cutting unnecessary fat from cooking - that actually sounds like a pretty sensible thing to do to me, given there are plenty of foods that are naturally high in good fats. And as for avoiding bread and pasta, you've got to be kidding me! Definitely...

And 'healthy' is a relative term. If you're overweight, a lighter breakfast is probably healthiest; if you're a marathon runner, the healthiest brekky for you will probably have plenty of fuel in it. For me, I consider anything with enough carbs/protein to get me going and not too much fat or...

Jumping in as a long-time lurker - but you can also make a pumpkin pie with a green (non-ripe) pumpkin. We read about it in one of the 'Little House' books and gave it a try, they tasted great! A little different in flavour to one made with a ripe pumpkin, but just different different, not bad...

Yea, same here - I mean, I know you can ask for a doggy bag, but it isn't the norm, and to be honest, I could count on one hand the times I haven't been able to finish my meal. I know you were kidding, but actually in our experiences, Americans were remarkably generous. So perhaps the...

American portions definitely get a mention all the way over here in New Zealand. When we were planning our trip to America last year, a lot of people mentioned to watch out for that. We actually found we got a bit of a range - which made it hard to know how much to order! Some places served...

I haven't been on here for a long time... but I still know where to come back to when I've got a question about food safety :smile: We're expecting a baby, and naturally there's been some conversation with preggy friends about food safety etc. So... can someone explain why it's dangerous to...

Ooh, what a good idea. I love double chocolate myself

We're having Thanksgiving for the first time this year. Obviously, it's not a holiday in New Zealand, but my DH is studying, and his supervisors both have wives who originally came from America. So we're getting together with them for a traditional Thanksgiving. I'm really looking forward to it...

Mmm - they look great!

Not with my kids, but with my much younger brothers and sisters - spongebob! "...Now that we're men, we have facial hair! Now that we're men, we change our underwear!.." That tune (and those words) made me crack up. :rolleyes: And I used to play Spyro on the playstation with them. That...

We've got some of them back on the home farm. Dad loves them. Is (s)he wild, or a run-away from somewhere?

I saw him in one of the heats - he was just cruising, and caned everyone. Very impressive!

I don't know... I'm not one of the people who creates the demands for these photos - I buy the odd cooking magazine, and that's it. I have no real interest in seeing anyone's baby photos unless I happen to know them :smile: But, should I happen to be famous (which, thankfully, I'm not and...

Here's a photo of our Jasper taken a month or so ago. I think I posted a thread about him at the time - he turned up as a stray where I work. He's a cutie. He's got this thing with our polished wooden floor in the kitchen... he zooms down the passage, flops full-tilt onto the floor, slides a...

Not the only one - we don't have one either. Maybe it's a cultural thing, cos I don't know anyone who has. Although, I must admit that I often leave the TV in the lounge on while I'm in the kitchen, and pop through if it sounds interesting :smile:

It’s just ridiculous, isn’t it? I can’t begin to imagine why anyone would do that! I’m glad the judge arranged for the girl to change her name.

Very cool!

Hey, thanks - I think that fixed it :smile:

How do you do that? I've got the 'bottom of the post' issue, and I'd love to get rid of it.

No! What a great idea though. How do you do it - just thinly slice and deepfry?

Oh, I see :lol: Not that it would have been bad of you anyway - hey, if you like sugar, you like sugar!

:ohmy: Really?? I'd be on a sugar high all day! (Except I guess it wouldn't be a sugar high, huh? :smile:) I thought I liked my coffee really sweet with a heaped tsp of sugar, and I've found sweetners sweeter than sugar. Completely agree about the cream though. I LOVE my coffee with cream...

Blackberries grow wild on our farm, and we see ones like that from time to time. I've never known what causes them, but usually when we see them, it's only the odd berry. It would be frustrating to have a whole lot like that. Any berry farms in your area? I bet they'd know what it was.

I'm pretty sure they are here in NZ - have you checked?
