Toast some non-sweet bread. Butter and add vegemite. Scramble some eggs, place on top of vegemited toast, add a layer of real cheese - blue, smoked etc over it. Toast under the grill - and eat believing in heaven!
I was trying for haute cuisine! ahahahahah
I'd normally just do the bread, butter and vegemite. No lettuce. Simple is best.
Decurso - How long do you cook in step one??

Sorry no disrespect but the South Americans had freezers thousands of years ago.aoaoaoaoao
Leave out the Dofu, and that could be a nice dish!!
Something I haven't tried yet (just moved, apartment is hopelessly disorganised), but sounds good.
On one of my mailing lists, one guy asked:
Anyone tried the cold brew?

There were several replies, all favorable. Here's one:
Steeping 1 pound of freshly ground coffee with 9 cups of water for 12
hours make IMHO the absolute best coffee you can make. It's concentrate
that you refrigerate and because you aren't using heat against the beans
oils don't leech out of the beans and thus the bitterness is cut way
back. It's a wonderful yet odd surprise not to taste that "bite" after
you sip it. It even makes 8'oclock brand coffee taste good. Freezing
small cubes of it for iced coffee drinks will insure that your drinks
don't get watered down as it melts.
It's important to remember that using heat to make coffee is a European
concept and the indigenous folks in Central and South America have been
making it like this for thousands of years.
If there is ONE big benefit though, it's that people who suffer acid
reflux can drink coffee again! It's true, since the pH balance is lower
it's WAY easier on the stomach. I know this because I used to sufffer
horrific reflux and now I can drink coffee again and it doesn't bother me.
I still drink quad caps when I travel and counter with eating tropical
tums like candy.

Here's my recent favorite: tofu cabbage
1 cabbage
1 piece of tofu (the brown one that comes in these pieces)
cut it all up, heat up oil, throw cabbage in, then tofu, stir fry till cooked. Of course add some salt. YUMMY. With plain rice.
Curry, crumb, BBQ, hamburger, stuff, gong bao ji ding, hotpot, tang cu, jiaozi, baozi - you name it - it can be done!
Or give them to the local cats. ahahahahah
Never use fillets for a curry.
But what I was after was something NEW. bibibibibi
I think LE was talking to AJ, Bunny.
As for the food color, unless the mail is going out tomorrow, I'm worried it will be waylaid by the Spring Holiday and lost when I move in the middle of the holiday. Do you want this week's address, or March's address?
Chinese freezers can be small. I have to push aside TimTams and coffee beans to get anything into mine.
These should be cooked on a girdle,Wouldn't a girdle melt in the heat?? After all, they are usually made of whalebone and fabric. ahahahahah ahahahahah
Ladies, I think what George was referring to was the fact you spelt the word girdle instead of griddle.
My griddle doesn`t have a curved handle, but more similar to a saucepan one. It was also flat on one side adn the other had ridges for grilling. Now in storage.
girdle2
• noun Scottish and northern English term for GRIDDLE.
And it worked fine for the deep fried chicken that I made!
Custard Powder? did you just say the magic word? If I can get some of that stuff- if and when we meet, I've a great dessert with your name one it. Is it the instant stuff or the proper cooking kind?
What I want Santa to most bring me next year is a RUDDY POTATO MASHER.Go look in Carrefour or somesuch similar. They are there!
The one I bought at Metro buckled first mash of the spuds
Amonk, I am so going to try those scones. .....They sound absolutely delicious.
Not sure where to find dried onion though.
I'm not 100% positive but I believe wood ear are called mu er (no tones, but sounds like moo ir) they're the dehydrated ones that seem to show up in so many dishes here, I am not a fan. Good luck with the meal.
Scones. Just made them...so delicious...They're sooooo good those scones agagagagag agagagagag
What is shortening?Decapitation!
What is shortening?
Like butter, lard, or oil.
Your recipes are the reason I get up at five in the morning to run, just to maintain my current waistline.
Totally off-topic: But I used to grow the scotch bonnet peppers - and they can have quite a zing. My dog thought they were bad for me, so he would bite every one off the bush and bury them. Never ate them, just dropped them under the bush or buried them. ahahahahah

What size papaya do you use?? My youngest son loves hot sauces - the hotter the better so I want to send him this recipe.
... I can also give you recipes for Jamaican Jerk seasoning/rub/marinade. qqqqqqqqqqPlease do.
Or Bermudian Sherry Pepper sauce.... qqqqqqqqqq...a very spicy local condiment...
No dry sherry at the Metro in Dalian. I looked and asked and looked. bibibibibiWe have a metro too in Harbin. But no vermouth, you can get the Blue Sapphire Gin or Tanquery but you can not find vermouth. How are you to make a good Martini?? O, the sacrifices we make. You can find the olives for Pizza or the stuffed ones for martinis. I can't get out of Metro for less than 500 rmb. Here is a recipe for Tacos with a flour tortilla. Easy to make and if you are like me you may be jonesing for a taco.
Metro in Dalian has flour tortillas, large and small, Old ElPaso salsa, mild and medium, avacados, tortilla chips for dipping, and refried beans (Old ElPaso).
Excellent, indeed! agagagagagI have a salsa recipe that a friend back home is pretty much famous for. I'll post it here shortly.
I could find flour tortillas in Shanghai (priced like sheets of gold, of course) and even saw boxed, formed crisp corn-tortilla taco shells in odd places like Changchun.
I could buy or make salsa...lemon juice is fine, and I could get limes in Suzhou.
What was really difficult was finding the spices needed for seasoning the meat properly. Chili powder (the milder brown Ancho pepper stuff, not the fiery hot red Sichuan-type chilis) was extremely difficult to find, and heartbreakingly expensive when you did come across it. And there's obviously a lot of cumin running around out there- as per all the Xinjiang dishes and Zi Ran Yang Rou and so forth- but finding places in Eastern China that would actually sell some to me was quite a different story. llllllllll
I was able to cook chili con carne, tacos, and other Tex-Mex treats from time to time in China, but generally only with spices that had been sent or brought in for me.
As promised:
Salsa ~spicy version

Yup! Mix with cream cheese, and that's wot you got! agagagagag agagagagag agagagagag
Sounds yummy agagagagag agagagagag
Ok, no cream to be found. But found this recipe for a non-dairy chocolate mousse. It actually sounds nice. Now, only trouble is, I can't figure out what the drat "silky tofu" is called in Chinese. Anyone know?
promise I can play with that dog of yours for at least half an hour agagagagag agagagagag
Well Schnerby, I am more than happy to one day make my way to wherever it is in China you are and make it, if you promise I can play with that dog of yours for at least half an hour agagagagag agagagagag
