Hi everyone, I seem to have a little problem with my silicon spoons and a laddle too. I also have a few silicon oven ware for cakes and stuff. Each time I use them I just stick them in the washing machine, after all they are dishwasher safe. They come ou all clean and nice and I put them away...

Hi everyone: I live in Belgium and here mussels are one of the typical dishes. I might ad it is THE dish. In fact I had some this weekend. Mussels that don't open, mean they are bad. I remember telling my father this once and he is so stubborn he went on and opened it. (It took him quite...

Along the years I have discovered that it is not only the potato you use but the way you mash it and mix in with the other ingredients (I personally only use milk, no butter). One christmas afternoon I was back at my parents' in Florida and I was in charge of the mashed potatoes. I cooked them...

I have no children of my own... yet. But I'd like to have three or four. My father always tells me: "Have the first, and then we'll talk".

I love so many my list would be endless. But I do have to mention Gabriel Garcia Marquez, my fellow countryman.

Thank you all. You made my day!!!! It was indeed a very special birthday since my fiance took me for a day in a spa. I was so relaxed afterwards. It was really great!!! :tongue:

The telephone call from my fiance saying the offer we made for the house of our dreams was accepted!!!

I tend to be # 4. But my fiance has a tendancy to be #1. We always go together and sometimes he says"can't buy it if it not on the list" Grrrrr. But what is funny is he makes the list and writes everything in singular. So this is what our list looks like when he writes it: -orange -apple...

Hey everyone!!!! I first discovered nutella when I was still living in Colombia. I had a german boyfriend who would go crazy over it. When I moved to Europe 5 years ago, I started seeing it everywhere. I especially have this souvenir from Bologna in Italy. I went there with a friend from...

I don't know how to make fancy posts like wasabi... Nevertheless I wish you a happy birthday from the bottom of my heart!!!!

In Spanish, or at least in Colombia, a mouse whose last name is Perez comes around looking for teeth too!!!

Hi!!!! I totally agree with you on the "American" versions of Italian food. My grandfather is Italian and he doesnt eat to live but rather lives to eat. So I know all these differences. Nevertheless, I just love alfredo sauce on my pasta and italian dressing on my salad. When I was in China...

Hey everyone!!! My mom had always told me about this diet where you eat anything you want during one hour a day. So back in April I had a weeding and had to lose a couple of kilos in order to get into my dress. So I started doing that, I would eat around 1 or 2pm and literally be sooooo full I...

I should be working on my end of studies project which is worth 1/3 of my entire year average!!!! Gosh, that's a **** of a lot of points... better get back to my books

Hi everyone!!! As some of you know I am an Italian living in Belgium. I have met the boy of my life and we are getting married next summer. Eventhough I am Italian, I was born and grew in Colombia. I went to an American school and my parents took us on holiday to the United States at least...

I heard this joke once: A psychologist told three mothers she could figure out what their fantasies were by the names they had given their kids. She says to the first mother: "I know you have an obsession with money because you named your daughter Penny" Then she said to the second mother...

I believe it is very important to think about the name and what historical implications it has. I knew this boy named Adolf and everyone was like bothering him with ww2 jokes and stuff. Or I knew this girl named Ursula and she was around 7 o 8 when the little mermaid came out. The mean witch in...

Dear Licia: What I understood of the recipe is that you whisk the egg whites and set aside. Then you delicately add them to the mix you have already done with the other ingredients. I must admit that I have never tried doing them at home (since I can find them in the street). I think that even...

Hello everyone! A few of you have asked me for this recipe. I asked a few friends and family members (all Belgian) for the recipe and this is what they gave me: Ingredients 125 grams of flour 250 ml of milk 50 grams of sugar 100 grams melted butter 4 eggs a pinch of salt 1/4 cinnamon stick...

I am following a diet which prohibits pizza among other things. I am Italian and a pizza lover, though. I guess it is forbidden since it has all that cheese and high calorie crust. When I am craving for pizza I do this: I get a pita bread and open it in half. Then I put some crushed garlic...

So according to you guys, it is not essential to deseed tomatoes?

My mother got me that little brush and I love it. It has an easy grip, too. I am travelling to the States next month and I am thinking of getting a couple more for other things like the bathroom sink or window sills. I was washing the bathroom this morning and I figured THAT is the thing I hate...

I am Colombian and for some reason I don't like coffee. I have like seven cups of capuccino a year! I do like the smell of it. SO when I can I buy coffee and put it in my cupboard just to get the smell. I prefer tea, the classic one with some lemon. ITK, I do believe freezing coffee is a good...

I am 24 going on 25. I'm getting married next year and thinking of having a kid some time during the next 5 years or less. I am still a student and so I take the public transportation to school. I often see kids about 8 to 10 or 12 talking on their cell phones, girls with mini skirts (you can...

I am very openminded about food too. But I cannot say I am surprised. Chinese put really wierd things in their food and eat really wierd things. When I was in Inner Mongolia, a Chinese province, we were served pig lips and pig ankle tendons. I wanted to try them and then seeing them on my plate...
