your description certainly sounds tasty! what is saurkraut and pierogies by the way?

not to worry..Christmas is the only time when you can get away for eating more than your share, they are just too busy wondering whether they've a good prezzy from their in-laws

i love food (no i'm not a taurus), i think it's one of the delights that we get to enjoy by being in a physical body...indulgence of the senses hehe

hmm i think we do have some food similar to yours...but so far the restaurants i've been to here are lousy in taste, so even though the meal should be delicious in theory...more often it turns out to be half cooked or ill prepared or simply just unpalatable

Ice Mists let me tell you what saurkraut is, it is like pickled cabbage, a little salty and sour and juicy, it's yummy

I would love to know what you eat there for breakfasts and dinners. I know what you mean about restaraunts, we have that problem here too.

I like to eat seafood and Mexican style food and thai and Indian and sushi too. Well really most kinds of food I like.
Don't worry whenever you find the book is OK

Thanks for starting this thread, I kept forgetting which one I met you in anyhow

Hope you have a good night

Sorry Fajita-work was ridiculously crazy today. You only gave me half of the other e-mail address....lol Shoot me an e-mail this weekend.

Goin out for Indian food tomorrow night. There's a street downtown with only Indian restaurants...

Oh that's OK Oxy I figured you were pretty busy. I already emailed you from here hope I am not bombarding you today, LOL

I hope you enjoy your Indian food tomorrow
Saving money and cooking for my bf and I so we don't eat out, I am making roast chicken with herbs and a teeny-weeny little bit of butter and twice baked potatoes with sour cream and scallions. OK not the healthiest dinner but my bf is strictly meat and potatoes kinda guy!

have a good one everyone

a bog-standard deep pan margherita cheese pizza.

Add a chopped up chilli sprinkled on top (preferably jalapeno) and black olives.

my dad used to skin the potato and eat the insides only cause he reckons the outside is dirty

now he just eats the skin because he read somewhere that it is more nutritious

do you cook the potato together with the fillings?

i can't eat mustard, it's too spicy...but i can handle hot curry mmmm

can you explain what is a knish for the food illiterate?

Fajita

you like thai too! though i know very little, i do like tong yum

and then yesterday night, i just had teriyaki chicken for dinner at Jap. res., i was going to order a tempura ice-cream for dessert but they were about to close

can you make sushi? we learned how to in high school...my mum's starting to learn how, she's got all the utensils and ingredients but seems to never get round to it...i've got to go and give her a prod hehe

lucky bf, you're so good to cook for him, i hope he knows that

my dad knew this couple where the male did all the housework, bring in the income, pay the bills, all the female did was spend the money and complain

yes i'm sure the modern woman would like that, a man who cleans up after himself

have a great time

Ice Mists- Potato knishes (pronounce both the "k" and the "n") are a lump of mashed potato inside a breaded/almost doughy (sorta) outside. That's the best description this undomesticated girl can give you. The knishes sold in delis are typically better than store-bought, though some people prefer it the other way around. The prepackaged ones in supermarkets often look like yellow squares, but freshly make knishes are bigger and rounder. Often times you'll find spinach knishes too. I eat knishes with mustand, some people use ketchup, or nothing at all. If you live near a Jewish deli, you'll definitely find them there.

The Indian food was great! I had a vegetable dish with cauliflower, chick peas, potato, some other stuff in a mildly spicy/cream sauce. (I do love curry though!) And I had vegetable samosas to start. But my friends and I shared our dishes.

Yea knishes are good they are like what Oxy said. I did not learn about those until my boyfriend who is Jewish introduced me to all that kind of food- matzo ball soup, brisket, stuff like that.

Mmm I love curry, i probably can't eat it as hot as you! And sushi is great, I just love raw fish and I like to put a little lemon and wasabi with my soy sauce but I might be alone on that!
I like pickled and sour and salty things alot. WHat do you eat for breakfast there Ice mists.
In America we often eat eggs or cereal with milk or waffles and stuff. I like fruit and oatmeal.

N_wEvil your pizza sounds great. I love jalapeno on cheesy nachos so I am sure I would love it on pizza.

Hee hee yes Ice mists I surely would like a guy who would pick up after himself!

GOod night all, oxy your meal sounds delicious, how could you share? no just kidding!

Its a pretty nice pizza once the toppings' added though...the more tomato the better too

posted January 09, 2003 01:27 AM         

hehe i've some curry for lunch today...though not very hot (ha it's my mum's cooking...she's afraid to give the family sore throats from heaty foods)

pieorgies almost sound like the knishes

i don't like wasabi, they taste like toothpaste =P

the typical australian breakfast consists of eggs & bacon, toast, milk also cereal, sausages...i think very much like american? i find the fried eggs bacon too oily in the morning, vey much prefer just a glass of orange juice

pineapples on pizzas are nice

N_wEvil
what do you put vanilla on besides ice-cream and desserts? sorry if that sounded dumb

Fajita
this may be ignorant, do you celebrate chinese new year? i think we're about to in a month...yippee!

heh i think that's enough rambling about food for me for today

i think i'll go and brush up on my japanese

Yes your breakfast sounds like us! Um, I personally don't celebrate Chinese New Year but a whole lot of Chinese people do in America! I mean I would celebrate if there was a parade nearby

I like pierogies better than knishes

I hope all is well with you. thanks for keeping in touch
p.s. I can only handle very little wasabi.
p.p.s. if you would like a recipe for anything let me know.
