I used her tnx version Judy--- I'll try to find the link (copied from her blog ages ago and just made it)

Hi Im making the potato and artichoke gratin for dinner (its in oven) but just opened pine nuts to discover bugs in them - is there anthing I can use to substitute for the pine nuts? I have walnuts, almonds, cashews, macadamias in cupboard

Cooked this for dinner tonight
Absolutely beautiful.  Only got the book yesterday so can't wait to try some more recipes.
I added a little cornflour and water paste at the end with the basil and capsicum only because we like our sauce a little thicker, but that's just a personal preference.
Tasted like we were eating at a restaurant.  Thanks Tenina.

I've got Thai Basil Chicken with Chilli in Tm at the moment (from Teninas For Foods Sake book) will post a review once it's finished but it smells amazing.
Have made the rice to go with it  and some stock concentrate this morning.

Just made a caramel mudcake with toffee cream (from the tm birthday cards).  Took twice as long to cook as recipe said but if it tastes as good as the mixture does, it will be devine.  Can't wait to cut it (have to wait for dad to come around as it's for his birthday)

Hi everyone,
As some of you are aware, we lost our 4yr old son, Tom Olive in august last year suddenly.  After months of testing, we have found out cause of death was due to a rare genetic condition.  However, there have been 3 confirmed cases of this condition in Australia alone, all within one month of each other, so doctors are now thinking that it may not be so rare - more likely that they don't know much about it and testing isn't even available here - only in Paris in a research lab.

I am writing this as I have opened a facebook page with the symptoms and stories from the other families here in Australia (one little boy is lucky enough to be alive).  Hopefully if enough people read it and pass it on to friends, we may be able to save another child who may be suffering the same symptoms.  I need to stress that Tom was a very healthy little boy, active and other than a few "episodes" of leg/back pain and red urine, there appeared to be nothing wrong with him, so for him to have breakfast one morning and then within hours have passed away, it was a huge shock. 

There are two Tom's (both deceased) with the condition and a little boy in Vic who is alive.

Judy, it was a normal piece of beef silverside.  we buy our beef in 1/4's and we always get a silverside and I opt to get mine "uncorned" and cook it as per cyndi's recipe

Just made a batch of rocky road which I'll post recipe of later.  Also have ingredients ready for honey mustard chicken for dinner (recipe I just posted in mains section).  Haven't been on lately but just wanted to thank you for sending your messages of support for those who knew of the tradegy we've been through in the last few weeks/months.  It was very much appreciated and sorry I haven't individually replied to each of you. I've just started cooking a bit again and thanks to this forum I have heaps of recipes to try - I"ll post more of mine in the following weeks.
