8:55 am

crosshair

that put babble i9n its own window and have the on-screen keyboard off to the left or right

8:55 am

Aloyisius

tyvm.. will do

8:55 am

crosshair

then

8:56 am

crosshair

;) easy peasy:)

8:56 am

I would have gone to control panel to accessibility. Would that work?

8:58 am

crosshair

it is delish. I somesimes roast tqaters ahead of time in a beef broth and fridge them for fast fry-ups

8:58 am

crosshair

8:58 am

crosshair

taters

8:58 am

hego

I got you!

8:58 am

hego

and that's a good idea.

8:58 am

crosshair

good because my typing fingers are not behaving today:(

8:59 am

hego

no need to correct.

8:59 am

crosshair

even better;)

9:00 am

hego

:)

9:00 am

crosshair

I have been on too many sites of late where those in the room take gleeful delight in pouncing on the smallest error. it is good to be in here today instead.;)

9:01 am

hego

no one is perfect.

9:02 am

crosshair

back to the tater; i cook 10 taters or so. i quarter them, place them in 2 inches of broth, cut some onions up and herb and spice to taste and roast them for 2 hours. They store well for about a week in the fridge

9:02 am

crosshair

pobody's nerfect;)

9:02 am

Aloyisius

Crossy font post was lost in cyber space.. we read it!

9:02 am

hego

right!!

9:03 am

hego

interesting recipe

9:04 am

crosshair

it works very well. You need taters for a meal you have oven roasted taters at your fingertips for

9:04 am

crosshair

a fast meal

9:05 am

hego

nice

9:05 am

crosshair

if you are a vegetarian, they have some nice veggie broth that also works very well.

9:05 am

Aloyisius

do they freeze well?

9:06 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) Sounds yummy! Why could I never find a man who cooks?!!

9:06 am

crosshair

((mimi))

9:06 am

Aloyisius

hi Mimi

9:06 am

MimiCat

Hello, Aloy and hego!

9:06 am

hego

hi Mimi

9:06 am

crosshair

they do, if you freeze them with very little air in tupperware/ baggie

9:06 am

MollyL

Question about the potato recipe. You cook them first, then roast them two hours? Also, some dry mustard in that mix works well.

9:07 am

crosshair

no, I roast them from raw

9:07 am

crosshair

yes, mustard would rock as well

9:07 am

hego

then he cooks them.

9:07 am

hego

Fries them up.

9:07 am

Aloyisius

@ 350?

9:07 am

crosshair

you can also brush them with herbed olive oil

9:07 am

MimiCat

You could also do that with other root veggies plus, with less cooking time, cauliflower, etc.

9:07 am

hego

delish!

9:07 am

Aloyisius

@ 350?

9:08 am

crosshair

ineed,mimi:)

9:08 am

MollyL

Roasted cauliflower is really good.

9:08 am

hego

what temp?

9:08 am

crosshair

the root veggies take a long time, so doing them in advance would also help

9:08 am

crosshair

350f for 2 hours

9:08 am

Aloyisius

ok.. ty

9:09 am

crosshair

give them a tumble at 1 hour mark

9:09 am

crosshair

I only use russets, but you can use your favorite spud

9:09 am

MimiCat

I love cauliflower and brussels sprouts roasted. I like to use a little balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese and a dab of butter (clarify the butter first unless you like the butter to really brown, which I do).

9:09 am

MollyL

I haven't had much luck freezing potatoes. They always seem too mushy when defrosted. Must be the water content.

9:09 am

crosshair

Russets have a high starch content, and do well when made ahead of time

9:10 am

hego

oh, no! More food porn.

9:10 am

MimiCat

Try not defrosting them first...just take from freezer and put right into oven. They'd probably be better.

9:10 am

crosshair

mmmm, brussel snouts...

9:10 am

MollyL

Mimi, toss in some real bacon chunks if you want to liven up those roasted brussels sprouts.

9:11 am

crosshair

I just roast what i can use in a wekk or so and avoid the freezer

9:11 am

hego

a little bacon improves everything.

9:11 am

crosshair

Bacon is the miracle food:)) too darn expensive atm:(

9:11 am

MimiCat

I'm actually making the cauliflower tonight and serving with shrimp scampi. Was going to make that last night but was too tired to cook so went to bed without my supper....poor Mimi.

9:12 am

crosshair

((mimi))

9:12 am

MollyL

Well, it doesn't take long to cook potatoes, so I just add them to any soups or casseroles I freeze after defrosting.

9:12 am

hego

poor mimi

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Hello everyone!

9:13 am

crosshair

I freeze very little. i maximize leftover usage instead. I hate the taste of freezer burn;(

Jacula sent me her recipe for bread pudding. it calls for 8 oz of bread. how many slices would that be?

3:43 pm

periwinkle

any cooks/bakers here?

3:44 pm

java2

Wouldn't that be 1/2 pound? Bread from the supermarket comes as a pound loaf, so that would be half a loaf?

3:45 pm

periwinkle

that is what I thought java

3:45 pm

periwinkle

so I will count the slices and then use 1/2

3:46 pm

bichon

si 7, pls

3:47 pm

periwinkle

si7 is an ornamental swords usually starts with sc

3:47 pm

java2

I've got an old recipe that calls for 2 cups of 1 inch cubes with 2-1/2 cups milk and 2 eggs. You might be able to get the proportions from that, too.

3:48 pm

bichon

ty peri

3:48 pm

periwinkle

ok, my recipes calls for less eggs and less milk, ty I will figure it out

3:48 pm

periwinkle

it only serves 4

3:49 pm

java2

The recipe I have doesn't say for how many.

3:50 pm

java2

Of course, if you had a scale, you might weigh the bread cubes.

3:50 pm

periwinkle

I know, a scale would make it much easier

3:53 pm

Bugsaw

I love the old family recipes that just say 2 scoops of flour. The family knew what that meant because the scoop lived in the flour bin but while the recipe was handed down, the scoop wasn't.

3:53 pm

java2

OK, on my scale, 5 slices of relatively fresh bead (all I have) weighed 4 oz.

3:54 pm

periwinkle

ok then 10 slices would be 8 oz. that is what I thought. thank you

3:54 pm

java2

YW.

3:55 pm

periwinkle

hi Bugs

3:55 pm

periwinkle

the recipe I have for the bread pudding is from Jacula who got it from her mother

3:55 pm

java2

Good luck with the recipe. Hope it comes out perfectly.

3:56 pm

periwinkle

is it better to use fresh or stale bread. I have never made bread pudding before but I really like it

3:57 pm

periwinkle

5:48 pm

OK. Imagined I was on my own there for a couple of minutes

5:48 pm

pippingeek

been like that for a bit, just kind of got lost in the grid

5:48 pm

pippingeek

a bit tricky, this one

5:49 pm

jaxx7

Not the easiest I must admit. Still have 31 to go

5:49 pm

apparently everyone is off having things to do, those silly people

i've tried to be productive but not been so successful

5:51 pm

pippingeek

did get out in the sunshine tho, so that was a bonus

5:51 pm

jaxx7

Yes but since I have retired I find it quieter at this time of night

5:52 pm

pippingeek

there is that. I still work and have to leave the house at 6am, so can't adjust the body clock too far, so I go down pretty early these days

5:52 pm

My grandson has ordered a jumper with a snowman on for next Friday's Christmas Jumper day for Save the Children

5:53 pm

I used to support myself by knitting jumpers but I have arthritis now which has slowed me down somewhat. I used to be able to complete a man's sweater in 10 days. Now I am struggling to complete a child's one in a fortnight.

5:55 pm

jaxx7

Hi, welki

5:56 pm

jaxx7

How goes it?

5:57 pm

welki

pretty well, thanks - and aside from the knitting, things are on an even keel on your side of the screen?

5:59 pm

jaxx7

Much better than they were, thank you. The family have a new very large house and the grandson has returned home full time. I didn't realise until I stopped how tired it all made me.

6:00 pm

welki

you probably put yourself on some sort of 'auto-pilot' and didn't allow yourself to rest as much as you should

6:01 pm

welki

i just got back from a holiday with my kids and grandchildren - i tried to keep up, and we had a ton of fun, but at the end of the day, i was exhausted.

6:01 pm

jaxx7

Guess you are right. It didn't seem that way at the time but the stress of all the people trampling hither and thither without warning had a lot to do with it.

6:02 pm

welki

yep, the only thing you could be certain of was the uncertainty of the whole affair

6:02 pm

jaxx7

Exactly!

6:04 pm

welki

well, let's hope for a long and peaceful respite for you and yours

6:04 pm

jaxx7

I am the silly woman who forgot she was no longer 21 and decided to jump off the bed. I can sympathise with someone trying to keep up with youngsters

6:04 pm

jaxx7

Your own children forget mum is no longer so agile as well.

6:04 pm

welki

i come from a long line of silly women like you - and we have the battle scars to prove it :)

6:05 pm

jaxx7

You should see the scar left from when I battled a cup of scalding hot tea.

6:06 pm

welki

i remember - took a long time for you to heal

It still goes an awful maroon when it is cold and, boy, does it itch.
