Thanks, it's quite a downer though. I tend to magnify disappointments (aware of it but can't change it).

I am the same tarasis, always have high expectations and then feel very disappointed. Chookie said to me once, you need to see itvas a learning experience. Good way to look at it.

Robyn yum thanks for posting the recipe - what is green ginger?

Yum Julie thank you too for posting.

Tarasis sorry the butter chicken was too hot, what chillies did you use? We don't find this meal hot just tasty, I use big green chillies as the smaller chillies would be too hot

the maple syrup would cost a lot for that amount of chops Hally

Sorry for the confusion Yvette - it is the fresh ginger root in the veg section of grocery stores



Hally I agree with CP - Maple syrup as marinade on that quantitiy of lamb would be quite costly!!!! Hope your BBQ ed lamb chops were tasty - yum!!!!  :)  :)

Tarasis, a lot of us have found that packaged foods which we used to love no longer appeal to us, the consensus is that because we are now used to the taste and texture of food we have prepared ourselves those pre-packaged foods with all the additives and chemicals no longer appeal to us.

We had the Honey & Soy chicken this evening with boiled rice. Worked a treat though got a little sickly into the second ladles worth.

I can see that, we ... Well I am moving towards that. I find I want to prepare it for myself so I know what's in it though not yet convinced its better (like say making your own butter)

Last night I mad Pizzas for dinner. The family devoured 3 large pizzas. I used a pizza tray for one, and the other 2 I used a Pizza stone. Does anyone else know the best way of using pizza stones? I had trouble with the base sticking. I added corn flour to the stone before placing the pizza dough on. Maybe I didn't use enough corn flour. Any help please.
