About me
I was born in South Africa and am currently living in Oxford, England. Was forced to clear my plate as a child with a Mother who's cooking left little to be desired so I have an adventurous pallet, will eat anything and try just about everything lol I like to try my hand at art and make things out of paper mache, I draw and paint but my first love has to be mosaic, there's a certain satisfaction to smashing up tiles and making something beautiful with it. I also make home made wine, preferably with free ingredients from mother nature's larder, bought myself a book on edible wild fruits and veggies, £3 well spent! and it's fun! to identify trees and plants that have a good wine potential while walking the dog. I have made a group for the wine recipes and hope that some of you ladies and gents join me in this fascinating, cheap (costs me about 50pence a bottle) and easy art of making wine, the group is called "COUNTRY WINES" With a small cash outlay to get you started, about £30 or $40 a little cupboard space somewhere to let them ferment and before you know it you have a lovely wine to treat your friends and family with! I started making wine because of the credit crunch! it became so expensive to buy any wine or alcohol at a reasonable price. My first endevours into the world of wine making is paying off and I will be enjoying an alcoholic Christmas this year.... cheers (hic)

Thanks for the 5 on the sweet potatoes.


Thanks for commenting on the fish pie recipe.


Thanks so much for the 5 on the chutney! Yummy!


Hey capedread! Wow! homemade wine? Sounds interesting. You make it sound easy. Do you have to have a certain climate to do it? I live in Southern California and would love to try it but wonder if the blazing hot summers woudn't be good? What do you think?


LOL ah well these things happen, when I made it they were ok, but then I usually just add stuff till it tastes ok as some of us like things sweet and some not, I thought they were bloody fantastic and we did them with mango and coconut too very yummy


I made the Guava Batida's yesterday, I did not like them, they were too sweet, then I realized when I make this recipe I USUALLY put more ice in it and less condesenced milk, than the recipe calls for.

So we went through a whole pitcher of these and I realized that the Bloody Caesar would have been better with the pork, jalapeno, carmelized onion, aji verde slathered sandwiches.

Be well,
Annie


Your favorite tipple is Rum? ::She laughs:: I was partial to Wild Turkey, Glen Levitt and Tequila during my wilder days. ::She coughs lightly:: Cough, cough, cough..

My best friend Forrest Gump drinks rum and lime coke, if he is out of coke (or if I am.. that is) he will drink rum and water on the rocks; which to me sounds ghastly to drink.

I was going to make some Bloody Caesar's this weekend, but the Guava Batida is starting to sound good, because of you talking about it.

I prefer the guava juice in the jars, not the cans.. the cans have a bit of a metallic taste to me, or maybe I am just imagining the tin taste...


Be well,
Annie


Hi Dee, sorry for the delay in replying - somehow your comment Re the Butter Beans in Sesame recipe didn't show up on my page, or I missed it somehow. I only just noticed it in the 'People Are Talking' column.

I think it's of Indian origin; I got the recipe a long long time ago (when I was a student!!!) from a low budget general book of Indian Cookery, the kind you can buy in 'Bargain Books', with no author credited. I just thought it was magic. It's very rich and not at all for the dieter. However, very high in calcium I believe, owing to the sesame!
Do try it some time, and let me know how you like it.
I hope you've got the lovely weather we're having up here.
Love Susan
