Forgot to take photo before it was cut. It was "yum"!

We'll soon see whether I've poisoned anyone with "live" mussels.

Shared with Oyster Orators Toastmasters and received an evaluation. Recommendation was - too dry. They need more brandy!

TWO RECIPES. Page 209. Ice cream pudding and marinated strawberries. 4 Feb 2011.
Ice cream pudding - I can't believe I've never made this before. Could it be any easier or cheaper?
Marinated strawberries - yum!
Page 158. Nachos. 4 Feb 2011.
I think I'll do my own ones next time. They tasted OK but canned refried beans look disgusting.
Page 122. Pan Fried Fish. 3 Feb 2011.
Very yum! Probably so yummy because of the huge amount of fat in it. Why are yummy things always so bad for you?

Who doesn't love smoked salmon? I think I got a bit heavy handed with it too, but never mind.

Page 190. Herb dressing. 29 Jan 2011.
Looks the same as other dressings, but quite different in taste. Quite nice.

It was nice, but I think I'll go back to the Alison Holst recipe - just a bit more flavour.
Page 168. Scalloped Potatoes. 24 Jan 2011.
Everyone loves these! Except Stephen, of course. He's not really a potato kind of guy.
Page 167. Orange and ginger carrots. 24 Jan 2011.
Stephen started off approving but then decided that ginger doesn't go with carrots and refused to eat any more.
My sister-in-law pointed in out, that in view of the family genetics (both Perrys and Potters), that this is probably the ultimate ginga food!
Page 122-23. Salmon Rissoles. 22 Jan 2011.
Stephen wanted to know if the salmon came from a can (he "hates" canned fish). I said, no. It came from Canada.
Page 167. Italian Tomato and Green Beans. 21 Jan 2011.
I had to use my initiative and work out when to put in the oregano as it was in the ingredients list but didn't mention it in the recipe - tut, tut editors! Very nice according to Mike and myself. Stephen didn't want to take the risk.
Page 113. Tomato Rice Casserole. 17 Jan 2011.
One of my particular favourites from student days. Served with tossed green salad and corn on the cob (the corn wasn't ready when I took the photo). Stephen hated the casserole but loved the salad.
Page 186. Tossed Green Salad. 17 Jan 2011
It's a salad - what more can be said - the best way to get your greens.
Page 189. French Dressing (Vinaigrette) 17 Jan 2011.
Stephen's reaction - yum if it didn't have the chives. It doesn't - it has parsley.
Page 109. Traditional Pasta. 15 Jan 2011.
Mike's reaction - quite nice. Stephen's reaction - does Edmonds have a complaints place? Dee's reaction - pasta and sauce, big deal.
Page 40. Chocolate Chip (Sante) Biscuits. 15 Jan 2011.
My nemesis has been defeated! These are good!
Page 102. Omelet. 15 Jan 2011
I need to buy an omelet pan. My frying pan is way too big - hence the broken omelet. Stephen's reaction - this is good - it's only half toxic.
Page 132. Liver and bacon. 14 Jan 2011
I started with the worst one first. Get it out of the way. Dee's reaction - I'm not eating that. Stephen's reaction - that's revolting!
