    Anyone have a favorite recipe forTiger Prawns?

    You are a real joy to have around aren't you? This is not a forum to cite what you think might be wrong with the B.C. fishing industry. The prawns I have, cook to a beautiful pink colour, and they just about fall out of their shells. Last week I used some in Tempura and they were great...

    Anyone have a favorite recipe forTiger Prawns?

    A week or so ago the Superstore were selling large bags of zipperback tiger prawns. These prawns are already de-veined and they come out of their shells quite willingly once they are thawed. I had divided the prawns into four smaller freezer bags. About 24 prawns per bag or about a dozen...

    Yorkshire Pudding

    For the first time last night I tried French's Yorkshire Pudding mix. Somebody gave it to me about a year ago. It was just Jan and I last night and the mix only makes six yorkshires. I'm such a bloody purist that I was ready for these things to taste bad or not rise or something but they...

    Lamb Chops.

    These potatoes are netted gems but they are as small, some smaller, than marbles and I've already made a fuss about these great potatoes so I am kind of stuck. The mint chutney would work great. Thanks. Little carrots out of the garden are a real treat. We have grown a bushel or two of basil...

    The Save On or the Superstore had fresh dill last week. The dill we are growing in the garden is probably ready to use. I have used dried sprigs of dill and I throw in a couple of those as well as a few seeds. The dill pickles I make are usually braced with a very generous amount of garlic...

    Dill weed or fresh dill?

    Right now the larger food stores have fresh dill. Failing that, you can use dried dill seeds and dried dill weed. If you are using large jars, a sprig or two of dried dill weed and a half teaspoon of dill seeds per jar. I'm assuming you have no problems putting together the liquid. At...

    Stainless steel

    We want to downsize our big 14 or 16 cubic foot chest freezer. The new fridge has a 7.2 cu. ft. freezer and we should be able to get by with a 7 or 8 cu. ft chest freezer and get rid of the old one. Btw there is something on the market that reportedly solves the fingerprint problem.
