Hmm, I do love me some Japanese curry so here's my favorite recipe ;)

http://www.pickledplum.com/japanese-curry-recipe/

YUM!

@Jae I LOVE Adobo. I like to add leeks and bell pepper to mine but like they say "Every Filipino has their own version of adobo and they're all convinced their version is the best!":rolleyes: (dunno if that's the truth but it's what several Pinoy coworkers have told me time and time again!)

@Freya this is for you :)

Oatmeal raisin (or choc chip) cookies

Ingredients

1 stick marge
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil (or apple sauce)
2 eggs
1 Tb vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups oats
1 cup raisins

Method
Preheat over to 175 degrees
Beat marge, sugar and oil until smooth
Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
On low speed add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Stir in oats and raising until well combined

The recipe is quite soft, will need tsp/T. to put onto baking paper.

Par Avion. (um, I'm sure I'm using the wrong words. Or, I know I am. I think I mean Bon Apetite.)

I love oatmeal cookies @Innocent Forever , but does it matter what kind of oats you use in this recipe? I mean I have fine oatmeal, steel cut oats, and just the ordinary breakfast kind.

The following recipe is super easy and delicious....I can't get Heath bars here so I used Skor....you could try anything you like...

Brickle (I call it Chocolate crack because it's so addictive!)

40 Saltine crackers (one sleeve about)
1 Cup salted butter (don't substitute)
1 Cup brown sugar
1 12 ounce package of chocolate chips
5-6 Heath bars, crunched up for topping

Take your largest sheet or baking tray (make sure it is rimmed) and line it with foil. Then toss down your crackers.
Melt your butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar.

The caramel will be pretty runny and that is good. Once it has simmered for a few minutes, pour it straight on the crackers. Try to get it kind of even, but don’t worry about covering everything.

Next, stick your baking sheet in the oven at 325 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Basically, you want the caramel to spread out nicely over the crackers. It should bubble a bit.

When you take it out of the oven, pour your chocolate chips on the tray right away. The residual heat from the oven will be more than enough to melt the chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to melt

You can use those 5 minutes while the chocolate melts to crumble up your Heath bars. Again, don’t worry about making them even or anything. Part of the charm of this dish is the random sizes of everything.

After 5 minutes, use a spatula to spread out your chocolate and make the chips flat. Then sprinkle on your Heath pieces.

Put in freezer, till solid....then smash it into pieces....(it's therapeutic too lol)

Best kept in freezer or frig....

I discovered a most wonderful potato. It is called 'German Butterball Potato'. Grew it myself this year. Pan fried with salt, pepper and garlic powder its most excellent.

Seems pretty decadent.. Mmm..

I think there's a step missing tho - to make the caramel I'm guessing you add the brown sugar to the butter at some point?

Here in the UK we have a delish snack called Flapjacks... found a recipe where you use Honey instead of sugar and they are delish and healthy! Made with porridge oats and dried fruits. :)

  • 200g unsalted butter
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 200g honey
  • 400g porridge oats
  • 50g any dried fruit (optional)

  1. Heat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Grease and line a baking tin.
  2. Melt the butter, sugar and honey in a large saucepan and remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the porridge oats and fruit if using. Pour the mixture into a lined tin and flatten to about 2cm thickness.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely in the tin, turn out and cut into squares.
Other ideas
Any dried fruit could be added, chocolate chips, chopped nuts. Whatever you choose or just leave them plain.

Substitution
Golden syrup could be used if you don't like the taste of honey.

Enjoy!;););)

Can marge be used instead of butter?
This looks really good - and healthy! (although I guess with marge it won't be healthy. But for those who stay away from dairy...)

  2. This should take about 2 months.

  6. If more are expected, the two rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
