You can Add, coffee dissolved in a little hot water [last] or cocoa sifted with other ingredients...for variety

Two tins and moderate oven..around 20 minutes.. doesn't look much mixture but rises well..

Split both cakes and use small carton of cream to fill ...laced with kahlua to taste:D

Ice top and sides with:

1 Teas melted butter /margarine, 1 Teas Cinnamon, 3 Teas Cocoa and 1 cup of Icing Sugar, vanilla essence to taste.

Decorate with whole Walnuts
If you want a richer variety cream the top and sides as well.. instead of icing.. Let stand a wee while for the kahlua flavour to penetrate.

Very Rich Chocolate Slice

1 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
350 grams dark chocolate, roughly chopped
250 grams butter, diced (unsalted butter is best)
4 X 70 gram eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup flour, sifted (or use ground almonds)
2 tblsp cocoa, sifted

Method
1. Put half the sugar and orange liqueur into saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the chocolate and stir over a double saucepan or very, very low heat until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Cool to lukewarm.
2. In a clean bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until very pale and thick. Lift the beaters from the mixture and make a figure 8. If you can still see the figure 8 once made, the mixture has been beaten sufficiently. If not continue.
3. Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the beaten egg mixture. Once half mixed sift over the flour and fold gently. Transfer to a greased and paper-lined 23cm round cake tin.
4. Bake in a water bath at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour or until the cake is firm to the touch. Remove from the water bath and leave to cool. Invert on to a serving platter and garnish as wished.
5. To accompany Dark berry-fruit puree, such as blackberries or canned cherries is wonderful here. Or try orange segments tossed in caramel. :w7:

BEEF STROGANOFF
SERVES 4

500g beef strips
2 onions-diced
10 mushrooms-thinly sliced
1 chicken stock cube-crushed
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of flour
500g double cream-or thickened cream-or sour cream
cold water
margarine or butter

If you have an electric frypan that is perfect for this recipe-if not use a large saucepan. Over a low heat put a good tablespoon of margarine let it melt a little and then add the diced onions, sliced mushrooms, garlic-crushed and crushed chicken stock cube, stir well-keep ingredients moving-if there is not enough liquid in the pan add more margarine, you do need a fair bit of liquid for when you add the flour. When the onions are translucent add the beef strips, keep stirring and cook over low heat until the meat is cooked. It is a good idea if someone helps you at this stage, if that is not possible then turn the heat down as low as it can go or remove the saucepan-if using one-from the heat. Add the flour a little at a time, but it is really important that you stir it in really well the whole time. Once that is added in put it back on the heat and stirring let it cook for about another five minutes. Now use your helper again or remove from heat, add the COLD water a little at a time stirring really well-while it is being added and between each addition so there are no lumps. I didn't put an amount for how much water because it differs. You want to add enough cold water to make a rich thick consistency-so it runs of your spoon in an even drizzle. Now turn the heat up to a medium heat-so that it thickens slightly, but you must stir it every so often other wise it will stick. After about fifteen minutes turn the heat back down and then add the cream, stir in well and let it heat through. I love to serve this on top of steamed white rice. YUM!!!!!!!!:hyper:

Oh I forgot to add that when you add the flour it should all go crumbly and kind of stick together, don't worry this is perfectly normal.

EASY CURRIED SAUSAGES

6 sausages
2 onions
1 chicken stock cube
1 cup frozen mixed vegies
2 tablespoons flour
2 cloves garlic
curry powder
COLD water
margarine

Place the sausages in a saucepan of water and put on the stove on high. When they boil turn the heat off and immediately run the sausages under cold water to stop them cooking any further. In an electric frypan or saucepan on a low heat start to melt the butter, just as it is about halfway through melting add the diced onions, crushed chicken stock cube, crushed garlic, and enough curry powder for your liking. Cook until the onions are translucent. While they are cooking remove the skins from the sausages-which will just slide off and then slice the sausages, put aside. Add the frozen mixed vegies to your pan and stir until cooked, then add your sausages and stir through. Now add the flour a little at a time stirring really well, it should go all crumbly and kind of stick together, cook for a further five minutes, stirring the whole time. Now slowly add the water a little at a time, stirring the whole time and between each addition. It should go reasonably thick but you can make it as thick or thin as you like, just add more water for a thinner consistency. Cook until heated through over a medium heat. I also serve this on a bed of steam rice.YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:MISSIN~18

Will domesticate you yet Ol:D

1) Surprising New Uses for Foil

Line Lifter
To get wrinkles out of silk, wool and rayon clothes that can't take direct
heat, place a piece of foil on your ironing board, then lay the garment flat
over it. With the steam button down, pass the iron three to four inches over
the fabric several times. Wet heat radiating from the foil helps smooth out
wrinkles.
2) Clear Signal
If your DVD player is stacked on top of the TV (or vice versa) and the
picture is fuzzy, the two electromagnetic fields may be commingling, confusing the
signals. (This usually happens with plastic casings; with metal it's less
likely.) Slip a sheet of foil between the machines to keep the fields separate

3) Paint Patrol
Protect doorknobs and hardware in the kitchen and bathroom when you're
painting by wrapping foil around them to catch dribbles. The foil molds to the
shape of whatever it's covering and stays firmly in place until the job is
complete

4) Pie Protection

To prevent a piecrust from burning while the filling cooks, make a foil
collar to deflect heat. Take a piece of foil about 25 inches long, fold it into
thirds lengthwise, and fasten the ends with a paper clip. Halfway into the
baking, slip the collar over the crust (as shown). Leave it on until the pie is
done.
5) Scrubber Stand-In
To get baked-on food off a glass pan or an oven rack, use dishwashing liquid
and a ball of foil in place of a steel-wool soap pad,

CHOCOLATE IRISH TIPSY CAKE

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

INGREDIENTS:
1 package chocolate cake mix
1 (3-4-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
3/4 cup Irish whiskey or bourbon, divided
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 jumbo or extra large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
whipped cream for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, and oil, add eggs and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer for 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
Spoon into a greased and floured 10-inch bundt or tube pan. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. When cake is almost done, prepare syrup.

Combine sugar, butter, water, and lemon juice in a small heavy saucepan.
Bring to a boil slowly, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 cup Irish whiskey or bourbon.

Turn cake out onto two large sheets of aluminum foil placed together to form the shape of a cross. Let cake cool for 10 minutes, top side up for tube cake and upside down for bundt cake.
Using a skewer or long bamboo pick, make holes all over top and sides of hot cake. Drizzle syrup very slowly over cake, being careful that too much does not run into any cracks on top of cake.

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The Solvent dissolves adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a Trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five Minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting Your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfectsthe blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.
6 Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal t he lid tightly and set in the Sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.

Shared recipe and Not tried this myself but an interesting concept.


ZIPLOC OMELETS


This works great !!! Good when you're alone or when all your family is
together. Best feature is that no one has to wait for their special
omelet !!! Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with
Permanent marker.


- Crack 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to
combine them.


- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green
pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.


- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake.


- Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.


- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of
boiling water.


- Cut the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for
everyone to be amazed.


Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved
In the process and a great conversation piece.


Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in
Boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice omelet
For a quick breakfast!!!

Interesting additive I was told, instead of filling cream puffs with cream ..Make up a pkt of Vanilla pudding.. when set fill with that.
Yum Julie, that would go very nicely in croissants as well

Hubby Pie


Can be prepared 20 years ahead.


Ingredients
Crust:
1 hard-skinned hubby
1 comfortable sofa


Filling:
1 TV remote control
6 pack of beer
1 packet chips (crisps)
1 family size pizza
1 large serve nacho
1 melted cheese sandwich
15 years patience
Lifetime of loving care
1 ounce of resignation


Method:


Cram one thick-skinned hubby into a well worn greased and comfortable sofa and leave to set (probably will take length of one sport show), remove from family room and bring to kitchen to finish filling.


Mix TV remote control, chip packet, pizza, hotdog, nachos and cheese sandwich on a large tray. Add six pack of beer slowly (to avoid excess gas), bind with a lot of patience, loving care and resignation. Be careful to place hubby and filling carefully back in front of the TV so as not to disturb the view of the screen and leave to solidify indefinitely.

Meringue


8 Egg whites
500g Castor Sugar
2 Tbl Cornflour
4 Teas. White Vinegar
Pinch of Salt
2 Teas. Vanilla
Beat eggs still forming peaks add sugar slowly then cornflour, salt and drizzle vinegar down the side of the mixing bowl and blend.
Cook at 150 degrees for 1hr 15minutes. Open door and leave to cool


Whip 600ml cream and add 250g of cooled melted chocloate.
[I used cadburys not the cooking variety]
If the meringue hasn't dropped in the middle, remove top crust, as I have and fill with cream mixture.[I didnt use cream on the outside]
Then drizzle remaining chocolate over the top.


It isnt sickly like the usual meringue after one piece, nor does it go watery or soft by the next day.
This was made xmas eve and remains were still perfect boxing day night.
