What's for Dinner Tonight?

[Frozzie]

oh no tarasis nevermind....make sure you put a note next to the recipe in the indian book for next time to reduce the spice element to your taste 

[tarasis]

We all have days like that tarasis. i know i do 

Thanks, it's quite a downer though. I tend to magnify disappointments (aware of it but can't change it).

Rob,

My mum used to make rhe greens cheesecake and years ago yes it was really good. Always had a pacet in the larder. Havnt had it for over 20 years, what a shame they changed a great recipe.

I am the same tarasis, always have high expectations and then feel very disappointed. Chookie said to me once, you need to see itvas a learning experience. Good way to look at it.

Robyn yum thanks for posting the recipe - what is green ginger?

Yum Julie thank you too for posting.

Tarasis sorry the butter chicken was too hot, what chillies did you use? We don't find this meal hot just tasty, I use big green chillies as the smaller chillies would be too hot

Also using maple syrup, is it thicker and sweeter than honey?

Hally who is taking  2kgs of lamb forequarter chos to party  tomorrow,

Sorry for the confusion Yvette - it is the fresh ginger root in the veg section of grocery stores



Hally I agree with CP - Maple syrup as marinade on that quantitiy of lamb would be quite costly!!!! Hope your BBQ ed lamb chops were tasty - yum!!!!

Tarasis, a lot of us have found that packaged foods which we used to love no longer appeal to us, the consensus is that because we are now used to the taste and texture of food we have prepared ourselves those pre-packaged foods with all the additives and chemicals no longer appeal to us.

We had the Honey & Soy chicken this evening with boiled rice. Worked a treat though got a little sickly into the second ladles worth.

I can see that, we ... Well I am moving towards that. I find I want to prepare it for myself so I know what's in it though not yet convinced its better (like say making your own butter)

Last night I mad Pizzas for dinner. The family devoured 3 large pizzas. I used a pizza tray for one, and the other 2 I used a Pizza stone. Does anyone else know the best way of using pizza stones? I had trouble with the base sticking. I added corn flour to the stone before placing the pizza dough on. Maybe I didn't use enough corn flour. Any help please.

[Halex]

Dede, i very lightly spray the pizza stone with spray oil, slides off a treat i have 2 pizza stones, different types and works well for both.
