Who cooks?

[kay-jay]

i make as much as possible. salad dressings, mayonnaise, vinaigrette and mint sauce. nothing to it

 

[kay-jay]

favourite salad dressing at moment is olive oil,balsamic vinegar, salt and a crushed clove of garlic. give it a good shake in a jar and leave it overnight in fridge and the garlic loses its overpowering smell and makes it taste sweet.

 

[kay-jay]

pesto is a good one too make as well but them pine nuts are bloody expensive!

basil crushed and turned into a paste with a mortar and pestle, pine nuts crushed/powdered, parmesan fine grated. pinch of salt, olive oil. stir and pour over pasta.

beautiful

I'll be making stuffed peppers fo me and Mrs Croppie later.

Boil a pan of water and parboil 4 peppers for about 3 minutes. remove and allow to cool.

Find their most stable position. Cut a lid and remove the seeds and cones. Set aside.

Heat some olive oil, soften a small finely chopped onion and add half pound of beef or lamb mince, cook until starting to brown. Add some grated cheese, chopped dill, chopped coriander, 4oz of cooked rice and the juice and grated rind of a lemon, season to taste. Stuff the peppers and put on the lids.

Set the peppers close together in a baking tray. Pour over 1/4pt olive oil and add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the peppers. Cook for 40-45 minutes basting often.

Handsome!

giving people cancer basically!! Look at cancer rates in our nans time it was considerably lower. I'm a big beliver that's because they didn't have chemicals in everything. In the air in the water in food basically all around us. I had this conversation with my nan the other week and used a bottle of mint sauce as an example. It was full of chemicals where in her day they would have made it fresh from the garden.

I was reading an article about a study done on people living in isolation i'm tribes and at the time inuit people before they became westernised and cancer rates where practically non existent.

when the inuits were in isolation nobody knew what anyone died of
