[Black Ant]

ppl take the water that comes from their tap for granted

one day they will learn

thats all i have to say about that /forrest gump

[zlastboss]

do not drink water from hot water taps as it may contain high levels of copper

plus its prolly full of mad limescale from the boiler which suplies ur shower.bath and heating washin machine etc

I agree with you, but water that's been sitting in the water heater can have unwanted sh*t dissolved in it, especially since most houses' water tanks are corroded/dirty to some extent

Cold water is preferable for cooking/drinking

lol boil the kettle yh, u always need boiled water whenever u cooking my cousin taught me that, and add a cup of boiled water to the pot when u add the rice

yh

loool@ chalk

an if my rice is too sticky, i c*ck the lid after i turn it off an leave it for about 5 minutes, a lot of the water steams off

[E.A.S.E]

dont u hate when u munching a good plate of food, ur going in and then u catch a fat knot of ginger in the side of ur teeth

yh my mum always over does it with the ginger

i either cut it up fine, or crush it up

Buy a garlic grater these are fantastic it intensifies the flavour so you do not need to use much but it leaves out those clumbs of ginger those stringy bits. This can be used in varous different ways for garlic, ginger, fresh nutmeg tomatoes (so that u dont have the skin) list is endlist

Instructions *Highly recommended*

Congratulations on the purchase of this unique product!

Pretty and easy to use.

Remember to wet the surface of the garlic grater when working with foods that release moisture.

FOR GARLIC: Hold the garlic clove between your thumb and index finger with the root pointing up and the tip down. Rub the garlic over the bottom of the grater (in a circular movement or back and forth, the result will be the same). Using the brush gather the pulp by working from the outer rim of the grater into the centre, the garlic will fall off leaving the grater clean. Always rinse the grater under running cold water before hand washing or putting in the dishwasher.

The Grater works equally well for the following products:

• Ginger

• Strawberries

• Parmesan Cheese

• Nutmeg

• Olives

• Apples & Pears

• Carrots

• Lemon, Orange & Limes

• Nuts (Walnut, Brazil)

• Chocolate

so for parmeson, nutmeg, nuts and chocolate do not wet the surface of the grater.

Cannot believe people do not know what Thyme never even made a roast dinner or something. Home Ec in school should be a must and it should be back to basics making people start from scratch. Educate people about food.

From Monday I'm getting back into my regular cooking regime and diet. Looking to get back on this home exercise ting.

Anyone got any recipies for quick fish or chicken dishes that can feed about 4 people? (this is all for me by the way). Already got my tuna dishes sorted so that's no biggy. Going to start seasoning nuff chicken over the weekend and then just chucking it in the freezer until I want to cook it. The whole seasoning process is just taking unnecessary time from my day. Would rather just defrost night before, come home form work, throw on the rice and bang the chicken in the oven.

[Hernandez Balcazar]

the way i would do it is

soak the peas over night

then put the peas in a pan of cold water, add to that a whole onion diced, an ur seasonin, salt pepper, fresh time definitly, what not

maybe some vegetable stock like bouillon

bring that all to the boil, then turn down to simmer until the peas get soft, when they are soft

add the rice an cook like normal, bring it to the boil again, then turn it down till the rice is cooked

the peas takke tiiime to get soft, gta keep makin sure that the water in the pot dont dry out

at some point u should put in some creamed coconut in it, but not sure when, maybe when u put the rice in

Good Good

you put the cream coconut in when the peas are done

[kurious]

i dont really eat chicken too tuff anymore, if its there il munch it, but im not on cooking it

curried saltfish is live, let the saltfish soak in cold water overnight, even 2 days, rinse it off when u ready to cook, strip it down. a little seasoning, not too much cuz it is salty, less than a tble spoon of:

garlic, curry, black pepper, chilli pepper, all purporse, and lots and lots of creamed coconut, cuz i like sweet food

slice onions, sweet peppers/green peppers and some tomatoes, let that cook low for 30/40mins

can eat it with rice i eat mine with yams and steamed veg on the side

smoked kippers are nice too, i fry mine in coconut oil, onions and peppers maybe diced tomatoes, eat it with new potatoes and carrots

yh i dont cook with sunflower or veg oil anymore

only coconut oil or palm oil, better for my heart

[Grafter]

i was jus saying to my brother the other day do u think u can curry saltfish

an he was like naaaah

[kurious]

yup, u can, ppl curry it up with cabbage and they curry it when they make saltfish cakes with yam and flour

[Grafter]

curry salt fish cakes

i would pass on that an stick with my saltfish fritters

[Thizz]

meh, had to settle for garden peas, forgot the salt, but it's tasting alright, just gonna leave it at a low heat for a bit more 'cause I think I put in a bit too much water so I'm hoping it will evaporate a bit more, but it tastes good, just a bit mushy right now
