Help me out with this riddle!!
« on: September 07, 2010, 03:57:28 am »
Ok, so I didn't get a chance to make everything on my menu plan last week, but I had shopped for all the ingredients for each dish.  Now, here's the riddle.  I bought fresh spinach and Greek yoghurt for a recipe, but now I cannot for the life of me think what it was  :-)).

So, do the ingredients ring any bells?  It would definitely be a recipe from the forum or a TMX cookbook, but a forum search hasn't helped, nor has a look through my cookbooks.

Anyone?  Or, can anyone suggest something for me to make with these ingredients?!

Join the club CJ, we all do that but I now write the recipe alongside my ingredient list and put the recipe on top of the microwave amongst the other recipes I am planning to do soon.

Yep, am making some changes- will not let that happen again!  I do not even recall deciding to make it, but I do remember the spinach was optional, so that must have been it!!  Am losing my mind...

I'm glad I'm not alone.

This could be a fun game. We could look in the fridge or pantry, post the ingredients we have and get someone else to tell us a good recipe using the ingredients. It’d almost be like a mystery box challenge hahaha.  :o :o :o

Glad you found your recipe CJ!

Mmmmm. Perhaps we could simply ask someone to select a set of ingredients (MM or Thermomixer?????) and we could go from there.  Participation would be entirely voluntary.
Great idea.

what i have done in the past when looking for something is just key in the word or phrase that I know eg self saucing pudding, in the topic where I think it will eg.  'Desserts'. Results of your search will be defined. You could do the same for something specific like ingredients eg. spinach in 'Mains" and if it was a forum recipe that you were after, results of your search will come up and you just click on the one you want.

if you had a surplus of spinach or abit leftover that you were wanting to use up, you could also search under soups or dips even.

 :D Caroline J, so funny! I buy ingredients thinking I'm going to make something and then don't get time to do so!
So glad that I know have coriander and lemongrass growing in my garden as that's something that usually rots in the bottom of my fridge.

I like Nelleraye's idea of a game.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Oooh pick me!  Pick me!!

I do that too....  :-[

Waaaaay too often... then my 15yo will present an ingredient to me and ask what did I need it for... and I can't remember... so he uses it.  Then of course, I will remember.  :-))
