Thinking of u Carmen. Know how u feel (in a whole different way lol) but just be grateful that he got the chance to leave home. Think of all the new recipes you'll be able to try now
Believe me the other children will get used to it ( they adapt easier to change than we do)
Cook up a storm. Give me a call anytime If u need a chat

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.

Glad you're all enjoying my recipe.
Love the other suggestions you're all making too - have to try some out myself.  Haven't made it for a while maybe tomorrow night

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.

Is cornstarch the same as cornflour or something different?

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)

Thanks everyone. 
Debbiebillg - our daughter Laura is a carrier.  They say she will suffer symptoms but it shouldn't be fatal.  They have an emergency plan in place for her just in case as they don't know a lot about it yet.

em - kam is a lovely lady.  We've spoken a number of times and hope to meet soon.

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.
The link is:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lpin1-awareness-and-support-group/205301902828376  Please read and pass on.  Thank you,
Trudy

That pull apart loaf looks amazing.
Today I made 2 quiche lorraines from EDC, 2 lasanges from EDC, rogan josh with beef from Jamie Oliver cookbook, and just made some coffee to put in fridge for iced coffee for the morning. Busy morning.  Most is for friends who are going through a tough time but I'll freeze some too

Recipe Requests / Re: Silverside

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

I've made Cyndi's corned beef recipe and it was absolutely beautiful.  I cut a piece of beef silverside in half and put it in the basket after salting etc and although it was a small piece was delicious.  Have done it a number of times now.  I prefer the usual white sauce though.

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.
