Not an expert suds. Maybe there are things about your profile you don't say like your'e a great story teller, who knows until they meet you. The only way to date is to get out there and date a lot of people o meet the right person.

Do you think you could try to stick to the actual topic hmmm

RE: Who is the bigger fraud?

I saw that interview, it did appear very controlled..Maybe because LA faces multi million $ law suits, what do you think?

RE: French troops in Mali

It was reported that the Algerian government did not want to waste time as it was thought the hostages would be moved to a hideout and it would have been more difficult to mount a rescue attempt. I am sure those who were rescued are relieved to be out of there. Who knows whether it was the right move or not. It was a fully Algerian led mission on Algerian sovereign territory? Too many contradictions in politics, but terrorism is here to stay and won't be eradicated, jmo.

Recipes for foodies

As promised, sharing another recipe idea today for a member in Scotland and anyone else interested in recipe ideas. I have stacks of recipe cards.

Mexican Chicken Stew

Serves 4
prepare 5 mins
cook 25 mins
calories 568 kcals

You will need

1 tbsp Sunflower oil
Saffritto mix
400g Chicken breast chunks
1-2 tbsp Chipatie paste
400g can Cream of Tomato soup
400g can of Kidney beans drained and rinsed
500g frozen Butternut Squash
2tbsp roughly chopped Coriander
Cooked long grain rice

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook saffrito mix for 2 mins, add the chicken and cook for a further 5 minutes until lightly golden

2. Stir in the Chipatie paste, soup, kidney beans and butternut squash. Cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins until chicken cooked through and squash is tender.

3. Divide between plates, scatter with Coriander and serve with rice

Can also be made with other canned beans e.g Barlotti beans. Canned beans are convenient as some dried beans take a long time to cook such as dried and soaked Butter beans.

For me, cooking is all about experimenting and improvising to find what works. Other ideas welcome.

Next recipe will be Spring veg casserole with garlic bread because I recently purchased a casserole pot. Bargains to be found if you shop around grin

RE: Is there anny real women on this site or are they all fakes?

The only way anyone is going to find out if someone´s real is by cam.

Not necessarily so as anyone can pretend to be someone else on webcam and worse lure you into meeting them. A man got murdered meeting a woman in another country and she existed. Her mates mugged and killed him. Rare, but risky all the same.

RE: Is there anny real women on this site or are they all fakes?

If they sleep on the edge, they'll drop off for sure grin

Ladies! Do eye lash curlers really work?

shaaz. Have you never seen the ladies pry their eye lids open with these things? laugh

Ladies! Do eye lash curlers really work?

Ladies! Do eye lash curlers really work?

RE: How do you know when a person is just not that into you ?

There could be other reasons you know like they really are busy. Choosing 'when they don't return your call', who knows really.. I would tell someone personally hmmm

RE: Is there anny real women on this site or are they all fakes?

Yes there are some grin

Ladies! Do eye lash curlers really work?

Oh what the dickens! Bungled the formatting doh

Recipes for foodies

Because it is quite snowy and cold this weekend, sharing a little something I am going to cook later based on a recipe I am reading.

Italian Pan Fried Fish with white bean puree

Serves 4
preparation 10 mins
cook 15 mins
calories 402kcals

You will need

2 large Baking Potatoes peeled and cubed
2 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
4 x 150g firm white fish fillets such as pollock, cod or haddock
2-3 tbsp mild/light Olive oil
400g can Cannelini beans drained and rinsed
25g pack fresh flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 x 240g tender stem Broccoli Spears cooked to serve

1. Place the potatoes in a large pan, cover with water, bring to the boil and cook for 12 minutes or until almost tender.

2. While you are doing this, mix together the flour and seasoning, and dust the fish fillets in the mixture.

3. Heat a little oil in a large non stick frying pan and cook the fish over a fairly high heat for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crusty.

4. Add the beans to the potato pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until piping hot then drain lightly and return to the pan. Add a splash of olive oil and using a hand held blender puree until smooth. Looks like mashed potato. Stir in the parsley and mustard.

5. Divide the puree between 4 warmed plates and serve with the fish and broccoli spears.

Enjoy with a glass of white wine - optional, suggest what you would drink and have for pudding.

grin

later wave
