Are individuals who are friends, eg our get together group permitted to have everyone round and make something to show and share?
Cookie, I may be mis-understanding you here, but my view is that, if any group of people want to get together at any time, to discuss anything, they surely don't need permission from any third party. I'm guessing you may be referring to HO, but, really, I don't think it has anything to do with them - if you wanted to ask people in to show them your new washing machine, you wouldn't contact the manufacturers. If, however, this is a reference to Health and Safety, I can understand your concern, but I still don't think it is a matter to get too caught up in, after all, the get together is strictly informal, between friends and acquaintances - a small group and not a commercial enterprise and I am sure our kitchens are all clean enough for this not to be a worry. Chookie, I would certainly love to join a bread making class of yours (so long as I can get away from work) and I think $20 - $30 is an extremely modest charge - and if you needed anything bought up from Melbourne that would be easy for me to do.

I hadn't heard that you keep the seal in the lid when you put it in the dishwasher. Thanks for mentioning that, I have always put it in separately, but I'll remember to keep it clipped in place in the lid from now on.

It's been a while since I made this recipe and I haven't got my EDC with me - does this playdough have a 'shelf life'?

Welcome Sue. Everyone has loads of questions, especially when they first get their TMX, so just ask away, there is always someone here with an answer or with an offer of helpful hints, tips, etc.

earth mumma, I don't think you are being paranoid. I don't think the contaminated products will be here yet, but it may not be long until they hit our shelves (if they get through the health checking and testing processes). It is a huge worry.
I'm the furthest thing from a scientist you can get, but is there not something about iodine (as in sea weeds) retaining dangerous levels of radioactive substances for a very, very, very long time?
I know there are people on this forum who will know more about this than me and I do so hope I am wrong and not scare-mongering, as so many people rely on sea weed based products in their diet, so my fingers are crossed that I will be told that I am wrong.
(I actually thought a long time before posting this as it could cause unnecessary anxiety, but I guess sometimes you have to try to do take what you think is the wisest action. As I said, I hope like mad that I am wrong and look forward to being contradicted in no uncertain terms).

I made the nut butter today and, despite Faffa's help with peeling tips, I agree wholeheartedly with Judy Dawn, peeling hazlenuts is a real pain. It maybe didn't help that I got interrupted by three separate sets of visitors during the peeling process so was stopping and starting all the time. I eventually got them more or less peeled and made the butter using almonds, cashews and the hazelnuts.
I wasn't sure how long to roast the nuts for and unfortunately the hazelnuts were still a bit damp; anyway, I roasted them for 15 minutes, but I don't think this was long enough, or the dampness of the hazelnuts fouled it up. The end product was a lighter looking butter than Stef's and was quite stiff, not runny at all, but it is very spreadable.
It's just settling down at the moment and I'll try it out tomorrow and see how it tastes.

If you scroll down it does mention that it is battery operated, etc. but, yes, you could easily get caught out on this one. Also, the starting bid may be $99.00, but note the shipping is another $30.00!!!

Judy, it might be worth a try, but the taste combination of the various meats is so distinctive I don't think there would be a successful vegetarian option. I will print the recipe off and note your suggestions though (I think Swiss Browns would be the best option), then give it a try sometime and see how it goes. There are vegetarian bacon bits available in the supermarkets so perhaps a sprinkle of them on top will give it a boost as well. Thanks for the follow up.

Thanks KylieJade for translating the "newspeak" on the Massell stock cubes. I hadn't caught on to that one - it doesn't matter how careful you are, "they" always find a way to fool you, don't they? Because I use them so rarely I guess it's not too much of a problem for me, but I will certainly using them with care in the future.

That sounds really, really nice, Bluesed. Have you posted it in the cakes and / or special diets threads as well?

Bon Voyage - enjoy the break (just think of us Aussies - and others) putting up with winter just now - you are the lucky one! And, yes, you will need to put aside a day or two to catch up on the forum when you get back. Hopefully there will be loads of yummy new recipes for you to try.

That July incentive is certainly a good one to go for.
