Rich gravy sounds good - recipe please

Fans and pomegranate pie - recipe please
Been told you can juice them - tried last year - blew up my juicer

Any ideas for guavas - normally put them in smoothies - but smoothies don't freeze

Whole house stinks of the onion

Just about finished peeling about 8 kgs when someone shouted up

Irene - want onions - No thanks not today thank you

I was joking Renes,I just cut em in half and squeeze em for the juice.
But as Julcoe says as do I

Google?
Gives you loads of ideas.
I love pomegranate jelly.
Eat it with Lamb,on toast,on bread with peanut butter,or by the spoonful..

Hi everyone


a sunny day today ... another lovely Fall day.

Renes ........... I have a recipe for Pomegranate Jelly .... but have never tried making it!

Have the Celebration of Life for G this afternoon ...... I think there are now only 3 or 4 of the ones of the department's "generation" above OH who are still alive now.

Well...JB says he will make dinner. So the next 10 questions from him are about what to cook etc

We decided on simple vegi burgers and salad but they want french fries too

OK I say..next question, how many burgers do you want...I only ever have one

Do you want fat chips or french fries....I never have either

Do you want butter on your bread roll....I never have butter, I have mayo

Do you want cheese on your burger...I ALWAYS have cheese on my burger

Next question just when I thought there could be no more...which trays shall I use

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


ITS EASIER TO COOK IT MY BL##DY SELF

Been google route over last 8 years - wanted something inspired or actually tried

The tradition here is adding them to fried breadcrumbs with either fried green peppers on top - or Sardine or Anchovies - often served as tapas

Might try a pomegranate jelly though

Is that Jam to us or that wobbly stuff we have with ice cream?

ja...x

Ginny


The sage in the Yorkie was inspired - we both loved it - ***** reccomendation

Jax. Used Jamies 1 mug recipe - but doubled it as for toad in hole - worked quite well - one of my better attempts

Think I actually put too much mix in my tin will try again

Yes please Sylvia - I assume it is a preserve - so it will keep


Renes

ja...x


it's the jam style of jelly ...... like blackcurrant jelly, mint jelly, etc

Jax ---- " wobbly stuff " with ice cream - sounds like my little ones


Made cups of proper fruit jelly here one fiesta day for the kids - put into plastic cups - made 50 - over 40 thrown away - the other 10 half eaten

Now know that Jelly is not a universal kids treat

Renes

You should have put vodka in it renes then it would'nt be wasted

ja...x

Glad the Yorkies went down well Renes....did you use onion too?

Yep, dont put too much batter in the tin...about half full is the norm and make sure its not too thick



The questions about dinner are still coming, so Ive took myself off the sofa and am making 'busy'

Sighs.....how come I dont have to ask him anything when I cook.....

Cos he wont moan about what and how you have cooked?
But you will?

Yes lots of onion - have a slight glut of onions at moment


But the sage was wonderful - even OH said

This is good - what's in it ?

It was my sage I had dried -

Great success - definitely on my repertoire now

Most of the Yorkie rose up - the edges superb - thought I put in a bit much - but difficult to scoop out - will use same recipe - with a bigger pan next time

Will never cook without the sage and onion again - would be happy to eat the savoury Yorkshire with my roasted veg and onion gravy

On a faceless plate !!!!!!

It was that good

You will have to post a more tips with herbs - I love herbs ( not spices )

I love oregano - any different suggestions


Renes

Jax

Yes - probably had a greater success with cups of Vodka -

They just had no conception of Jelly


Renes

Well Renes,

You have made that yorkshire sound SSSoooo good, I will just have to try it !!! - Seriously, you obviously really enjoyed it 'with a passion' !!

Is it just raw onion, finely chopped?? + how much(ish) sage?

Anyone have any tips on how to trace bmd's in Malaya ??
(mid to late 20th century).

Dea x

Ha ha Dea....
I want some from Burma...any tips.

Are they likely to be on FMP overseas BMDS.

 It's Ginny s recipe -
I used 2 larges onions finely chopped - used half in base of pan with sausages - added I teaspoon of sage into oilive in pan as well  

The other onion and juice from chopping board and 4 teaspoons of sage I put in the batter mix -  whilst it was doing it's 40 min sitting

Then whisked it up again before pouring over sausages sage onion and olive oil pan

Wonderful - did not actually need the sausages

Had a third onion caramelized for the gravy
Onion is good for prostate - we eat onions every day

Also my own dried Sage - not that finely crushed - so possibly not as strong as commercially dried
