    Leftover Recipes

    That sounds very eatable talloola, I'll have to try it. I make shepherd's pie but I tend to use a lamb stew under the mashed potatoes. I saw the recipe in a magazine years ago and that is the one I generally use.

    Leftover Recipes

    When I cook rice I usually cook twice as much as I need for that meal and the leftover rice goes into the fridge. When the kids were living at home they loved fried rice. Chicken fried rice was always the most popular. Ingredients Two cups leftover cooked rice up to a pound of left over...

    We first heard about the Crow and Gate from a friend of ours from Ontario who had been to the place a year or two earlier. That was about ten years ago when we moved to Gabriola Island. We've been at least a monthly lunch customer since then. Jan and I tend to have a main course and a drink...

    Chicken Recipes

    Good idea Karrie. On the subject of Chicken Pot Pie, I've always thought the old traditional recipes were a waste of time. One recipe I have calls for a six or seven pound boiler. In my experience boiling chicken are old roadrunners that wouldn't be tender if you boiled them for a week. What...

    Darkbeaver What is the name for an almost yearling lamb? In my mind this is the best lamb. You get lamb chops with more than a spoonful of meat on them, and a leg might go to 10 or 12 pounds with out the bone. The meat is not tougher, nor is it gamier tasting. I think we miss the boat...

    There was a time when lamb was almost an economy meat. I used to buy a whole lamb, cut and wrapped for the freezer for under fifty dollars Beef shanks and liver were almost given away. Those days are long gone. Our store just had back ribs on sale again for $9.89 per kilogram....About $4.50...

    Toast Canada with it's own cocktail

    What is wrong with them is that they go down way too easy. With a good whiskey, the sweet maple syrup sort of masks the taste and before you know it, you've had four of them. If the bartender is the least bit generous, you've knocked off the best part of a mickey of rye and you are slurring...

    Toast Canada with it's own cocktail

    I think I have to refine this a bit: The Maple Leaf Two ice cubes in an Old Fashioned glass. Add: half an ounce of maple syrup Top with 2 ounces of Crown Royal Special Reserve, or Alberta Springs Black Label Stir gently so as not to bruise the whiskey......;-):lol:

    A good cut of lamb can be a little pricey. I would suggest a three or four pound boneless leg of lamb. It will probably cost you $25 to $35 dollars but it is all meat. I like my lamb well done......maybe a little trace of pink at the center but not much. The drippings will make great...

    Talloola, organic restaurants are just not something I have searched for. My tastes are pretty much meat and potatoes with a little Cordon Bleu thrown in, but I recognise and appreciate well prepared food. The only true organic food I know of is the tomatoes we are growing on the sundeck that...

    Talloola You can also do that squash in your ordinary oven. Put the squash halves cut side down on a lightly oiled glass pie plate. put it in a 375 degree oven for forty five minutes. You can then turn them over and add butter, brown sugar and a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg and give them another...

    Quandary You are hijacking a perfectly good thread with information that is 17 years old. I don't believe this information and I don't think the authorities do either. Microwave units are being produced in greater numbers every year. http://tinyurl.com/6s8vad
