Irish diet
Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:01:12 GMT
An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.
'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this
procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at
least 5 pounds.
When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly
60l ...

Italian!
cumino - as in Spanish cumin, yes?
But "Culinaria" has cumino-caraway. Is caraway actually cumino dei prati?
Am I right in saying Abruzzi isnt a plural of Abruzzo, but the adjective,
in english it would "Abruzzian" except that we choose to stay with the
Italain.

them for about a penny a pound cheaper than I paid and I wouldn't have had
to waste all th ...

download, anyway after some shouting and swearing I went on to the live
chat system. Amazing, w ...

Hello All!
For some reason, I was reminded of my childhood in Northumberland and
the eating of "carlins". Searching the web, I find there is a
traditional time to eat them seasoned with vinegar as part of a
historical tradition. They are also apparently called "grey peas" or
"pigeon peas" and also eaten in ...

I'm using up left-over chicken which I simmered whole a few days ago for a
curry. A simple chicken and mushroom pie, tonight. I will probably serve it
with a simple green salad. Having eaten hot spicy dishes all week, I think
this will make a change.
But this stray thought occurred to me whilst I was wiping the ...
