I could try faxing them. That way they'll get there before they get cold.
Mmm! Honey, let's chew on this paper as soon as it gets here... You're mean! (but clever)Ivan Seeking said:I could try faxing them. That way they'll get there before they get cold.
Ooooh, that does sound good! Fax me some!Ivan Seeking said:I threw together some very tasty scrambled eggs the other night. I added the usual dash of oregano, red pepper, garlic salt, cilantro, pepper, a tiny bit of cumin, and onions, but what made it unusually good was a thin layer of dill flavored havarti cheese.
They were about the best eggs that I've ever made!
I still have some dill left. Should I fax your the florets or the seeded heads? I hate to fax out the florets, since they are so flavorful in chili relishes. If I fax you the seeded heads, I'll have more of the flavorful flowers to can with.Evo said:Ooooh, that does sound good! Fax me some!
I've really gotten into dill lately.
It's a vegetarian meat alternative. It's tasteless, but is supposed to have a "meat-like texture".wolram said:Found it

Dried soya mince.
Hob
Instructions:
To serve 4:
Re-hydrate 200g of dry mince with 500-600ml of boiling water, leave for 5
minutes, then add to your recipe.
TVP
TVP or textured vegetable protein, was one of first meat analogue products to emerge, over 30 years ago. Then and now it is often used by the food industry in vegetarian and non-vegetarian food products, but can also be bought in ingredient form from health food stores and supermarkets and is often called dried soya mince.A by-product of the soya oil industry, TVP is made from the remaining soya flour once the oil has been extracted. Very low in fat and a good source of fibre, it comes as dried chunks, mince or flakes, to which you add water before using in a recipe. There’s no flavour to it, but its sponge like texture means it marinates and absorbs flavours well in cooking, and it does have a realistic meat-like texture, especially in traditional mince dishes such as lasagnes and spaghetti Bolognese.

I'm not sure how to handle this! I know that the English are food-challenged, but how can I apply a French-Canadian/Irish patch so that Woolie will end up with actual food to eat?Evo said:I've never had the florets, just the sprigs.
turbo-I think Wolram is in need of a food intervention.

wolram said:Coblers, i will set to and make my own mouth watering dish, a great cook like me finds ways to make do.
Moonbear said:I don't think even a master chef could make do with dehydrated soy crumbles. :yuck: I think this needs to be the secret ingredient on an Iron Chef episode!
It sounds like something you should use like tofu.
Reminds me of "rock soup".wolram said:It is cooking now, i have used onion, garlic, chili, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes,
chili beans, crushed black pepper, coriander a veg stock cube, garam masala, ginger, a test taste is encouraging.
The secret of making some thing out of nothing is the spices.
I think bandages and crutches would be very funny!Moonbear said:Mmm...dill is yummy!
I got some cookie baking done tonight. I have a small gingerbread army...I cut my recipe to just a THIRD of what I usually bake, and I still have way too many (they haven't been dressed yet)...then again, a few have birth defects and amputations (I can only imagine the battle that went on in the oven to result in those injuries :uhh:). Since these are for the med students I teach, I'm wondering if I should give them little bandages and crutches? I also have a ton of coconut macaroons now. And, there are still two more batches of cookie dough in the fridge (are there any cookie recipes for anything less than 5 dozen cookies at a time? I think everyone in my department is going to love me on Wednesday when I bring in these cookies...or maybe I should just send them around to all the classrooms on the floor I'm teaching on ).
The icing "stitches" on the Shrek gingerbread man were a pretty good touch, too.Evo said:I think bandages and crutches would be very funny!

Moonbear said:I'm going to be spending the rest of the evening baking cookies. A bit early for Christmas cookies, but the last day of class for my students is this week, and they've been such a great group this semester that I decided I'm going to treat them with goodies for the last day of class. My lab will get the leftovers, so I figure everyone's going to have a very good Wednesday.
scorpa said:Awww Moonbear you are the best prof ever, what a nice thing to do! My class at university is only 18 people so one morning one of the profs brought us breakfast! And somehow we all ended up with advent calenders...I'm not sure who those were courtesy of but it was nice! I'm thinking now it was to soften the blow of the evil lab finals they have been throwing at us this week :P

This sounds great, but I don't have any veggies.turbo-1 said:Cube the pork (small) and either stir-fry it in a wok or in a pretty hot cast-iron pan with peanut oil, chopped onions and green peppers, salt and pepper. Mix in some curry powder and serve over noodles.
That's a pretty quick meal, and just the smells from the stir-fry ought to get your taste buds going. For variety, you might want to include snow peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts or some other vegetable with a distinctive flavor.
Oh, I have the ingredients for this!Andre said:Alternately, how about 'porc au vin'?
Cube porks, chopped onions, some kind of smoked meat for flavor if avaible, a bit garlic, seasoning, whatever. fry until the onions are a bit glazed then pour some ounces of cheap red wine on it until the mass is partly covered. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add some sauce thickener, whatever you call it at the end. Serve with rice, mashed patatoes, couscous, spaghetti, whatever is around.
You don't have fresh staple vegetables (onion, green pepper, garlic, etc) on hand? I am confused. How can you cook without them? I'd feel like I was handcuffed if I didn't have at least those 3 fresh vegetables available, not to mention potatoes, pastas, canned and dried beans and our fresh-frozen garden vegetables. If you've got meats and the fresh staple vegetables, a stir-fry is just minutes away. You can whip it up while the egg noodles are cooking.Evo said:This sounds great, but I don't have any veggies.
Since I'm all alone, I just don't keep as much fresh produce on hand as I used to. By the time I get off from work, I'm too tired to stop at the store.turbo-1 said:You don't have fresh staple vegetables (onion, green pepper, garlic, etc) on hand? I am confused.

2 food-thread demerits for being unprepared!
