mmmm yep Yogi I love thai basil but I cant get any where I live :( last year I grew my own but this year the little blacks flies got to it.
It can be a real pain living in a backward northern town in England, I had to go down to Birmingham 38 miles away to get most of my ingredients!
Same here!!!!
I have to go to Utrecht, 50 mile drive, to get mine.
But i found a new herb/spice guy at the market in Apeldoorn(20 miles), who will make
order anything i ask.
I am still looking for a dried/pref. freezedried version.
I'll keep you posted on my findings, okay???
Next time i visit that market, i'll post some pics!!!!
I can spent hours at the guy's stand. The knowledge/stories of that man......
Cooking is my passion.
Tonight i'm serving GoatStew in portwine and dates!!!!
Im so into this web making thing i quickly did this - dont ask why

Curry, stir fry and noodles, macaroni/caulflower cheese, shepherds pie....:01:
But still can't boil an egg.
/hides.
Boil water.
Put egg in.
3 minutes for a soft yellow.
5 for fully boiled.
I know tat.
But it always cracks, even if I use vinegar.
And it oozes slimy stuff. :huh:
Get some real eggs and not the factory produced ones.
Great!!!!!:01:Quote:

There are also neat little thingys that probe a little hole in the top, preventing
crackling. 99 cents at householdstores.
Just put the egg in the water gently, don't let it bang the bottom of the pan and it'll be fine. I lower them in on a tablespoon ;)
Good tip.Quote:

If any one wants to bother changing or adding or screwing around to the script - go ahead.
just pm me and ill send the pass
Nice site, Zed :D
Since no-one included a pic of their cullinary masterpieces, I decided to :01:
Note that wholemeal bread was used to create the toast and that instead of butter I've put dairylea slices on each of the 3 pieces of toast - each of which I've cut up into nine squares. The beans are Heinz, I used a full tin and warmed them in a saucepan, not a microwave.
Btw, altho' it isn't clear in the pic, I've used two eggs.

Sweet and sour meatloaf !
recipe?
Sweet and sour MeatloafQuote:

2/3 cup ketchup
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar or honey
1 cup vinegar or squeezed lime
2 tablespoons FINELY minced ginger
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon regular mustard or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard*
3 teaspoon sweet soysauce
1 teaspoon thaibasil
1/2 teaspoon coconutmilk
*1/2 cup of finely sliced pineapple
*Optional
Meat Loaf
1 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork (approximation)
1/3 cup finely chopped spring onion
(white and green parts)
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
2 tablespoons rice wine or any dry white wine
3 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sweet chilly
1 teaspoon currypowder masala
Mix all sauce ingredients thoroughly. Set aside to allow flavors to marry.
Next, combine all meat loaf ingredients except cornstarch. Take 1 cup of sauce AND mix it into meat. Follow this step with evenly sprinkling cornstarch over meat and thoroughly mixing it in.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place meat in loaf pan and pack it down. Bake covered with foil for about 30 minutes. During last 10 minutes of initial 30-minute baking cycle, remove meat loaf from oven, drain fat and slice into several serving-size slices. Pour about 1/2 cup of sauce over meat, making sure some of sauce runs down into cracks. Bake uncovered for about 15 more minutes.
Meanwhile, if you want, you can heat and thicken leftover sauce with about 1 teaspoon cornstarch and an equal amount of water. As sauce starts to thicken, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil to sauce.
This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so leftover heated sauce can be spooned over individual meatloaf servings if desired.
NOTE: If you want a browner meatloaf, bake covered for about 20 minutes and uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Then drain fat, slice meatloaf and pour sauce over it.

The food was incredible.
I had a halfwarm salad with duckchest as first course, Fre had deerham with
truffle-butter. Both exquisite, though i didn't find the ham that special.
Next time i'll ask for truffle-butter on the duck; true bliss!!!
Fre had Salmontrout with limesauce as the main course.......
Omg, what a treat!!!!
I had a Dancing forest meattriangle: Deersteak, Wild Boarsteak and
Hare with cranberry compote , wildsauce and red pear.
Everything was served beatifully arranged in a perfect pace.
We both had red wine, Fre had white wine to accompany the fish.
(very special for me, as i hardly drink........)
The service was the best i ever had in my country, not well known for
it's good service.
The owner/maitre D really has it going.
Btw all waiters were male.....:01: :P
Knowledge of both food and manners was unprecedented.
On top of that we were sooo happy, both looking back 12 years and looking
ahead, i'd give the night out a 9,5/10. (take note: i never give a ten....)
Price for all this culi-blessings: 87,50 Euro before tip.(note: service is allways
included in holland.....) Needless to say the tip was mentionable........

Pics next time, as i forgot the camera...............:lol:
That sounds beautiful. Nothing like an evening out to celebrate living life together. Happy for you.
Thanks.
I will post what i am eating now later this evening.
Best oriental meal i prepared ever!!!!!:)

20 minutes from serving, take 2 mugs wholemeal rice and place in caserole dish. Add boiling water, covering rice by 1/2 inch. Microwave on full power (850W) for 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.
