Thanks Chelsea - for those near Chinese delis - check out the goji berries - wolfberries - Chinese lyceum in these stores - they are so much cheaper, and will help your eyesight.  If you can't find them - ask ( maybe your eyesight is in need of more goji berries)

how is everyone going with this??!

i just did my long anticipated version and well, i can only say  what a disaster LOL

everyone is eating it, surprisingly, but only because it's so bland no one cares to complain 

[brazen20au]

well, i can't believe it - though dd1 has barely touched hers, dd2 has headed back for 4ths and there is not enough left for anyone's lunch tomorrow  i really thought it was a total disaster.  imight have to post the recipe after all in case other people like it (though i totally stuffed up the proportions so it will be try at your own risk lol)

Oh...derrrrrrrrrr      Thanks Thermomixer.  Crawling back into my little cave of innocence now.....

[quirkycooking]

Don't worry Marmee, I only just figured it out a few weeks ago! 

[CreamPuff63]

Shucks  ....wish you had looked up "What is?"  as I had posted it there earlier

[quirkycooking]

I think that's where I saw it!

Mama_bel might do the lamb and rosella ( the fruit, not the bird)

The rosellas I'm okay with (fruit, not birds) but the poor baby lambs, not for me, sorry!

[brazen20au]

anyone else had a go at coming up with anything??

the risotto i made was a lamb, pumpkin & sweet potato, pinenut and parsley risotto which i imagined as amazing (though i'd forgotten to buy the feta i planned for it too) and turned out to be virtually tasteless...

[Thermomixer]

I have a couple - but will post later. We need cgale to post here with her last night's dinner.

[marmee]

Sits impatiently tapping her fingers on the table...waiting for those extra few inspiring recipes......where are you??
