But can you pronounce it?
I try, but usually i just point at the menu and say "number 11 please".
You can pronounce it incorrectly, like 'foe' and people generally know what you mean. Whenever i try say it correctly, like 'fur' without the 'r' (couldn't think of a better example) people just look at me weird...

Dunno what we're having yet... but I better get onto it. I hate cooking, so i always leave it till the last minute hoping hubby will do it... and he usually does as he enjoys it. But right now he's playing Monopoly with the kids while I'm mooching off on BF... so I think it will fall to me. :(
Pasta puttanesca might be the go... quick, easy and delicious! :thumbsu:

Dinners ready to go...just gotta BBQ the marinating steak...witing for the wife to come back from the outlaws, Coopers in hand :) Happy as a seafloor full of clams I am.
How do you explain that one to the kids?
"Children, this is the pasta mostly cooked by those ladies who do delicate favours for men"? :D

No I never really have to get into explanations, I can't get past the "just be quiet and eat it - anchovies are good for you" conversation... ;)

See that's the easy part... the carrots and the Poles, the peas and the Czechs and the broccoli and the French ... but when you try and balance that with a bit of protein and take down a few Russians with your tofu... things get difficult and ultimately the war is lost. That's when the anchovies come into their own.
You see the trouble with vegos is that we are all pinko, leftie, hippy, beatnik, homosympathising, tree-hugging, refugee-supporting, land-rights loving, green-voters.
A lot like Hitler really.

I haven't lived down that way but my point was that (without being a racist)there is a high proportion of Southern Europeans living down there, hence their tastes in food.

It's a bit different as it has sliced potatoes on top instead of pastry but I really like it.

About once every week or so. Good for soups as well, nice cheap/easy meals especially in winter.

Baha at least it was edible! My sister tried to make lasagne lastnight. Instead of have a layer of pasta, meat, pasta, meat, pasta she thought the "three layers" meant a layer of meat then three layers of pasta on that. Needless to say, I walked into the kitchen to see the dish with burnt pasta on top baha. :D

Finding a female born in the eighties or later that can actually cook is like finding a horse with wings.
Best thing about where I currently live ...is you can cook up an absolute storm (and then call for Ave to come and do the dishes).
She loves it as most Westerners dont cook
I love it as I dont mind cooking bit hate doing the dishes
Coming home is going to be a shock isn't it?

In her defence, she's only 13. But I'll admit that I can't really cook. Moving out in a few weeks so not the best thing...

(i) Buy a wok ....you can cook anything in a wok
(ii) learn how to roast a chicken and veggies ....chuck a chook in, zap your tatters ...chuck them in with an hour to go....feed yourself for a few days off that
(iii) learn pizza huts phone number
Easy!

This is really simple, taste's great AND is quick, like less than 5 minutes. Although its really only a snack rather than a meal...
1. Buy a 1 kilo bag of peeled de-veined pink prawns (about $17 from local IGA) & keep in freezer.
2. Defrost a handful (10-15) in microwave for 2 mins. Prawns don't need to be fully defrosted, some may still have a bit of ice on them. Let them sit in the bowl for a minute in the water that is now in bowl from defrosting them. Push any prawns with ice still on them to the bottom of the bowl to dip in water and melt off any ice.
3. Crank up fry pan on high heat with some olive oil, give prawns about 30 seconds to a minute MAX adding in a splash of Worcestershire sauce as soon the prawns hit the pan. Turn all prawns once to get the flavour of the sauce on both sides.
4. Enjoy eating
Of course this goes well on a steak, or can be added to a salad, but lately for me its just been a snack on its own.
Its snacktacular :cool:
