I do like a nice fish curry Big%20smile.
 
I made a Greek dish called stifado this evening:
 
diced beef, shallots, red wine, cloves, peppercorns, allspice plus a little oil and vinegar.
 
All you do is peel the shallots, stick the whole lot in a pan, top up with water if necessary and let it simmer for about 2 hours. Serve with rice or bread. It's autumn here in the UK and it just hit the spot nicely.

thanks for the cake-baking tips Raff !  (and Dean  Wink)

I've noticed that a cake will be come out quite light and airy when the batter is thoroughly beaten, which can be nice, but sometimes I want something a little heavier so I think I'll do less whisking next time Geek

I hope if Heaven has a smell, that it smells like curry. Smelling curry is to the nose what seeing Jessica Alba in a lace teddy is to the eyes. Approve

Sounds a bit like what I'm doing here in the kitchen.

It's supposedly autumn here in the heart of America, but feels more like summer! Come on fall!!!

Hey guys, stop making me feel hungry Wink

A nice and easy Sunday supper: tortilla'filled with chicken and beans

Cut bit of chickenbreast (a European pound for 2 adults and 2 little kiddo's) into 1 cm cubes, fry in oil with some chopped garlic and onion.
Add an equal amount of precooked kidney beans (either whole or after putting them through the food processor, 2 tomatoes (or one can of tomato paste), paprika powder, cumin and powdered coriander seeds to taste. Leave on the fire until the beans are hot. Put a fitting amount of the mixture on top of a tortilla and fold like an envelope. Put all tortillas in a large tray, cover with grated hard cheese (nacho, old dutch or whatever you like) and put in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.

Serve with freshly made guacamole, salsa and crème fraiche. Buon appetito!

Enchiladas - we make them all the time at home.  Works well with ground beef as well.

Suffolk Rusks.
 
I remember these from my childhood (no, not Farley's Rusks Tongue), my maternal Grandmother use to bake them and then complain that they'd all disapear within minutes of coming out of the oven. My mum never baked them, so I had to get the recipe from my Aunt, all three ladies have since passed away so this is my attempt at preserving the recipe.
 
They are unusual since they look like standard English scones but are baked twice (like biscotti), they are very short (as in shortbread & shortcrust pastry) and great with savory or sweet toppings/fillings.
 
Heat oven to 450°F / 230°C / Gas Mark 8
 
Self-raising Flour - 8oz / 1 cup / 225gm (or Plain Flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder)
Butter - 3oz / 85gm
Egg - 1 medium - beaten.
Milk - a little.
Salt - 1 pinch
 
(Although I favour the all-in-one method for cakes, these have to be done the hard way, by hand) - Sift flour into a bowl and rub in the butter using your finger-tips to breadcrumb consistancy.
 
Stir in the beaten egg and add milk in small stages until you have a smooth dough.
 
Roll out onto a floured surface to about 1" (2.5cm) thick. Using a pastry cutter cut into 2½" (6cm) rounds and place on a greased baking tray.
 
Cook for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
 
Reduce temperature to 375°F / 190°F / Gas Mark 5 - (mega important step!!)
 
Split in half (like a burger bun) and place back on baking tray with the cut side up.
 
Cook for further 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
 
Eat with Butter & Jam or cheese or whatever takes your fancy. (Like scones, you can add grated cheese to the mix before cooking, but adding dried fruit is not recommended because of the twice-baking)
 
What?

thanks - I knew somewhat would come up with the name, I always get the names of the 'folding forms of the tortilla' mixed up, so I decided to not use one at all... LOLLOL

Not sure if this was mentioned (I'm too lazy to go through all the other posts) but:

Onion and orange sandwich with a slice of mozzarella.  (Made just like it sounds)
 
It may sound strange but it's amazing.

That does sound good indeed... Onion and orange go very well together, especially the sweeter red onions, my favourites. Mozzarella goes quite well with acidic vegetables too, as shown by its classic pairing with tomatoes.

Which brings something else to my mind... Onion jam with cheese is delicious. It is a speciality of Southern Italy, and highly recommended if you can find it somewhere.

Onion jam is the best sticky stuff ever invented! In our house it gets eaten quicker than I can make it!

I have a home made recipe for onion bbq relish that just gets devoured also, it's pretty good stuff!

Today the boys are all out, so my daughter and I are having a 'bake-athon' we just tokk 2 doz mini carrot cakes out of the oven, 2 doz cherry cakes are now in the oven and she's just wizzed to the village store to buy some walnuts for a date and walnut loaf..... we also plan to make some lammingtons, a couple of cherry pies, some chicken and bacon pies and some cauliflower and sweet potato bakes.

Total bakeathon, but the boys will be hungry when they get home, and tomorrow we plan a picnic at the beach with lots of yummy goodies!

We're visiting family in Wisconsin this weekend and just got back from an apple orchard in Illinois that had the best homemade apple cider doughnuts. I don't have a big sweet tooth, but I love a good doughnut...and these were probably the greatest doughnuts I've ever had.

^ Send me a few, Eric...

My wife made an apple pie this weekend for our son's birthday, with a filling of slightly sour apples, raisins, fresh walnut and cinnamon, and she topped the pie with a bit of lemon marmelade we brought from France this summer.
Needless to say, the pie lasted only a few minutes when the family arrived...

SLUUUUURPPPPPP!!!!Heart

At present I'm avoiding baking cakes or pies, though I'm planning to make some rice pudding for me to eat for breakfast - however, I'll wait until I come back from the Rush gig to do so! I love baking with fruit, in every season of the year - this summer I made some wonderful crumbles with peaches, nectarines and raspberries, which someone Heart liked quite a lot... However, I am not too keen on using nuts, which in my opinion interfere with the taste of the fresh fruit. Cinnamon is a must with apples and other fruit, and I also love using grated orange and lemon zest.

Yummm. Rice Pud - planning on cooking one for tonight's dinner, though there are dozens of different ways of cooking it I just use 4oz short-grain rice, 2oz sugar, 1pt milk and a knob of butter, a pinch of nutmeg and into the oven (~150°C) for a couple of hours or until thick and creamy. I like to add desiccated coconut too, but Debs hates coconut, so I'll leave that out.

What?

yesterday was my name day and my mother made meat pie, pizza, marmelade and a traditional dessert called ravani..

i haven't had any of these yet cause i spent my weekend with my girlfriend at home, and she made me an excellent carbonara (i'll need an italian fellow for the correct spelling here...) and i haven't visited my parents since Thursday...

two thing's are for sure: my gaining weight and a lot of orgasms for my palate...
