I have had my "maurice" for 4 1/2yrs and have just bought my 2nd lot of blades, so my blades last about 18mths.  Mind you I do a lot of grinding cheese and veges

Hi Thermie Muscateer
 DH and I lived/stayed  in Muscat 3 times, the last one being 6 years ago.  Loved the place, people and history and of course the souk.  It was a challenge driving and we always tried to go the back way to avoid the traffic. My first time driving on the 'wrong' side of the road was to the Grand Mosque with my daughter from NZ who had just arrived the day before. She said how long have you been driving here and I said that this was my first time! She went quiet!  But we made it and several trips after that.  Lots of fun exploring

Soups / Re: Vegetable soup with bacon & pasta

Made this today for lunch to use up some 'odd' vegetables in the frig.  Very nice indeed, will  certainly make it again.  We have people staying with us for a few days next month, so this will be a great evening meal after having lunch at the winery, sight seeing etc.  In fact I may even chop the veges first and freeze them so it one less step to think about.  Thanks for the recipe

The sides of the basket do  get a bit greasy even after washing. I spray with miracle spray, leave it for 5 mins or so, and then use a scrubber/mitt to clean it.

Chit Chat / Cooking for me and you

My prize which I won in the latest draw arrived today.  I sat down with a cup of coffee and had a lovely browse through it.  I am very impressed, especially as I was looking for a recipe for guests tomorrow. I wanted a side salad and found Quinoa salad with Mango salsa. Just what I wanted, especially as Quinoa was on my list to try.   It is now cooked!  Then I needed an easy light dessert, not just the panna cotta and fruit which I seemed to be doing lately.    Saffron and cardamom poached pears fits the bill perfectly fits the bill.
Thank you HQ, I am thrilled with my new book.

I cook the rice the same, but sometimes put a cup of frozen mix veges on top of the rice, or broccoli and cook for about 16-18mins.  Great for one or two people

Chit Chat / NZ curry and rice rolls and spring rolls
« on: February 13, 2014, 03:06:12 am »
Hoping someone can remember the NZ curry and rice rolls and spring rolls that you used to buy at the fish and chips shop.  DH and I have different memories of the curry and rice roll, he says it was mostly rice and no meat, and I am sure it had mince as well!  Not sure if they still make them. in the 1960s  DH and I used to go from Ohakea in our little A30 to Wellington for the weekend. We would stop at Levin and buy them.  Just feeling a bit nostalgic and was trying to make them in the Airfryer.
So mince or no mince!

I microwaved a couple of potatoes in their jackets for 4 minutes.  Cut them in half, put them in the airfryer on top of baking paper. covered the tops with cheese and seasonings and cooked them for about 10 miins.  They came out perfectly and virtually no mess.  Will definitely do them again.

Strawberry sauce from frozen strawberries

About do basic Panna cotta ( to go with the strawberry sauce, or is the other way round)

Could not have done this without my "Maurice".   and no didn't use the Thermie to do the hiar!

My DD uses a GF pastry from Coles to make egg and bacon pies in the pie maker.  Works perfectly, though the pastry is a little hard to manage as it is softer.  Grandson 14y loves them.  She puts them into the freezer, then later he thaws one in the microwave for a min, then puts it into the airfryer to heat up.  He is very happy.

Condiments and Sauces / Re: Uni's SOS sauce

Thank you, it is exactly what I want.  Will do the pies tomorrow and put them in the freezer for when we go away in the caravan next week.

Yes son in law is wonderful in the way he helps with M,they take him for long walks and to the beach. Anything to tire him out. That doesn't always work mind you, yesterday was one smashed door and all his presents ripped.
I worry so much about the family. Medication just does not work

Condiments and Sauces / Uni's SOS sauce
« on: December 26, 2013, 04:49:26 am »
I have left over chicken and though I might make some pies in the electric pie maker.  Going through the postings I noticed people had mentioned Uni's SOS sauce.  I searched but couldn't find it.  I would love the recipe please

A lovely Christmas day with the family, though sad in a way.  Our sil stayed home with their autistic son and took him down to the beach, to give DD and Dgrandaughter time away and to enjoy their day without the stress.
