Sounds great Emily though I'd probably throw in at least one clove of garlic per chicken breast

I have not eaten chicken for two weeks because of this damn bird flu and I can't eat any other type of meat so I am getting no proteins. *weeping*

Here's a non-meat dish with proteine for Pensive:

Chick Pea Curry à la Beer Good
- Peel and chop 1-2 onions. Toss'em in a pot with some olive oil and fry'em up.
- Chop up a few cloves of garlic, 1-3 fresh chili peppers and a paprika or two. Add'em to the pot.
- Let fry for a few minutes so that everything starts to soften up.
- Add spices: curry (the good stuff), salt, coriander, black pepper and ground cumin. How much depends on how hot you want it. Stir and let fry for a couple more minutes.
- Add a can of crushed tomatoes (or, if you prefer, a couple of actual chopped tomatoes) and a splash of orange juice (or water, but I like the citrus touch). Put a lid on it and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
- When about 10 minutes remain, add some frozen chopped spinach. (Or wait another five minutes and add fresh spinach, if you have it.)
- When about 5 minutes remain, add a can or two of chick peas and some lemon juice (or, even better, lemon peel, but that's a lot of work plus the whole nuckles-on-grating-iron-thing so I usually don't bother).

Serve with rice or bread and an avocado or two. Left-overs can be frozen. If you prefer, use lentils instead of/along with chick peas. Even more proteine in those, I think. And of course, the vegetables can be varied too.

Beer good, Thank you very much. I will try this when my mother will let me enter the kitchen.

I have a passable recipe if you need protein, replace tuna fish in a tuna fish sandwich with mased up white beans. It tastes basically the same except less fishy. I got this recipe from Vegetarian Times. I also have a recipe for Black Bean cakes that's good, I'll dig it out if your interested?

I felt like waking up this thread.
So boooooooooooooo

[Nightshade]

Well not really a recipie and not really delicious ( or at least I dont know yet) anyway today I made an octopus shaped birthday cake.
Certain things I learned
1) Make it from scratch easy cake mixs are anything but ( I mean what is a size 3 egg anyway?!)
2) Icing is a major pain have the birthday girl handy to do this job.
3) make sure you have a plate big enough to fit an ocyoups before you start.
4) 10 year olds are not the best dish greasers no matterhow eager they are are to help do it again or you get lumps.

These are really good, but very rich. I apologize that measurements are not in metric, but this is the recipe as I have it...and I don't know how to convert it.

Hello Dollies
These are also known as 6 Layer Bars - because the 6 ingredients in the recipe are layered one by one in the pan. You can't get much easier than that, and they are so good, too.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand, 300ml)



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Remove from oven, and spread the melted butter evenly over the bottom of the pan.

Sprinkle the graham wafer crumbs evenly over the melted butter.

Sprinkle walnuts over the graham wafer crumbs, then chocolate chips, then coconut.

Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the coconut.

Return to oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Cut into small squares when cooled.

Ive jut realised I can finally make Emilys lamb recipie because Im only cooking for me
ok Egyptian potatoes
potatoes sliced
diced beef
onion sliced into rings
tomoto puree/paste
salt& pepper

layer the potatoes /onion and beef any way you like provided you have potatoe as the top most layer/ and personally I like it bet when its the bottom layer too.
mix puree with water and salt in a cup grate or cover he pototes with black pepper ( if you like it as much as me otherwise just add to taste) pour over the tomatoy sauce ( should be very watery but not weak) until all the potatoes are covered but not floating. shove it in the oven until its cooked.

serve with rice.
delicious ( reheating this is what started me using our cooker at the ripw old age of seven.... which I always got in trouble for )

Hey, I got a small kitchen here with all the utensils. I'm going for grocery shopping later. Let me know the simplest recipe (something that can be cooked with stove and microwave)...

[Nightshade]

hey you have a small kitchen Im in a univercity hall!
Oregano chicken
is I think the easiest one Ive put up that is only stove no oven involved.
But the easiest easiets recipie is the egyptian potatoes becasue it literally just needs to be shoved in the oven and allowed to cook itself.

Ok, looks simple enough! I'll give it a shot.

But wait, what are stock cube and Tomoto puree?

[Nightshade]

hummm a stock cube is well a maggie in the middl east let me think its a little block of dried stuff that you throw in boiling water so thta it tastes of chicken/ or veg or whatever instead of taking the 'soup' thas left when you boil them.
tomato puree/paste is a thick paste that comes in jars or tins and looks like this if ypu ever make a home made pizza you spread it on.
