Wonder, I resorted the recipe in Word (it's not perfect but much better), I can email to you if you like. Yehhh it's the getting the spices all out of the cupboard takes a bit of time ...... saves heaps of time having it ready made.

Wonder, Halex, last time I made the butter chicken I made a double batch of the spice paste and put one lot in the fridge. It's been in the fridge about 5 or 6 weeks and it kept really well. I figured it should be ok with the vinegar in it. So we made butter chicken last night ready for dinner tonight. I prefer it made the day before it tastes even better and it made it really quick to make having the spice mix already made up.

No, no no DJ ! Don't feel responsible, it's not your fault. The devil made me buy it lol.  I've realised though, DH packed it up and we didn't' include everything in the box. There's a spatula and measuring cup etc.  Will let you know what they say.

Where do you get the tandoor ovens from?

They're from www.tandoorliving.com.au. We keep debating whether to get one too ! Their recipes on their site are awesome !!

DJ, I have been talking to Nisbet about it. Following on from the book saying fill to 60% in one place and 80% in another ............ if I fill to 80% it has ice cream underneath once you take the bowl out. On the other hand if I only fill it to 60% then it's not a 1.5ltr machine ! The ice cream is also quite soft when it comes out.  It's not freezing to the max it says in their specs. So ! they have had it picked up by courier yesterday and am waiting to hear from them ! None of the staff there know much about them at all so will be interested what they say.  Funny you asked, the day they picked it up though lol.

The process is a little frustrating really ........ if it was from one of the department stores ....... I'd take it back and just get a credit.. no drama, no waiting for them to test it etc !!

I'm kinda a thinking maybe I should have got he Cuisinart one ........ but we'll see what happens.

We always buy proper kebab bread (yiros in other states ?) to use up roast meats and make kebabs with salad, sauces and toast them quickly in the sandwich press.  Kids love it and so easy !

My kids are feral tonight, refusing to eat tea, fighting with each other, arguing and back chatting. Grrr think it's early bed time for my lot

Mine too ............ roll on bed time ! It started from the minute I picked the two school kids up and it's still going now ! DS5 is an angel on his own with us all day and THEN the other 2 get home and chaos reigns with all 3 !

CP, my DS9 and I watched that last night too for the same reason. Didn't buy one though, but it was a good offer. DS said I should buy one though.

Festive Seasons / Santa Christmas Cake
« on: November 15, 2013, 01:26:12 pm »
This recipe was on FB on Spread the Nollaig's page and I thought I'd share here.

I think you can just use any cake underneath (vanilla ILB cake maybe ?). Very clever, I thought and how cute for Christmas.


Strawberry Santa Cake

 Ingredients

 1 lb large strawberries
 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
 3-4 Tablespoons powdered sugar (or sugar substitute - to taste)
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top, (enough for a hat). Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.

 2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.

 3. Once strawberries are filled, top with the 'hats.' Decorate according to photo.

 4. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.

Wonder, my cousin's daughter was telling me they have to do all their assignments online and they run them through a programme that checks for plagiarism these days. It's pretty clever how they do it isn't it ! Hard to not get caught really. We used to get away with it in small amounts, no such luck these days lol

There was something on one of the current affair shows about warranties a few years ago ! They were saying that regardless of what warranty period was supplied by manufacturers, consumers have statutory rights. It goes something along these lines ......

If you pay $10,000 for say a TV and the supplier only gives say a 12 month warranty and the tv then breaks down outside of this period because you have paid $10,000 as a consumer you can reasonably expect that a $10k tv would last more than 12 months and you can argue this point with manufacturers. 

It also went on to say that extended warranties provided by retailers is in many cases a waste of money because the consumer has statutory rights that protect them. So they are double selling it to you in effect.

My DH has argued this point with items outside the warranty period and has been able to get things covered that they would try and avoid. It pays to know your rights !!

This would also apply here, particularly given consultants often, spruce about how long the machines last and their cost.
 
Interesting isn't it !!
