    Ooh, it sounds good! But what does "dcl" and "dkg" stand for? I get the centileter and kilogram part (right?), but what is "d"?

    I guess dcl is deciliter? (uhm in my school times that was dl I think...ah how I hated those things!), so dkg is uhm...the same but with kilos...

    Why doesnt the whole world use the same measures??? I hate to see those American measures and I'm sure you Americans 'hate' ours... Just a matter of habit (therefore no offence guys it's just my personal rant ) but damn can't we come to an agreement? (meaning, come on guys, accept kilos and metres.,..oh and centigrades )

    Oh, eva thanks. Your describtion is just for me. You did it in so easy way.

    Eva, I cooked dovga. It was not so difficult. Here I give you how to cook:

    Take 2 litres gatig, stir it, add into it some rice (handful) and 2 litres water. Stir them and put on the stove. You must stir it without pause until it will get boil. Just a little pause can spoil your meal. Use wooden spoon for stirring. It will take you 20 minutes. Then add into it some cut greens: coriander, fennel, the leaves of beetroot and salt. in 15 minutes your dovga will be ready.

    Nush olsun! (enjoy it)

    It is blueberry picking season here and I make alot of pie. Thought i should share my mothers recipy.
    This is a very easy recipy for making Blueberrie crumblepie-

    150 grams of butter
    3 dl flour
    sugar according to taste - about a tablespoon

    Put the contents in a bowl and mix them with your fingers until is "crumbling" - the dough should look like small pices of broken cookies.

    Pour blueberries in a baking tin for pies ( anything between 5 dl - 1 liter blueberries is Ok)
    Add sugar - half a deciliter for half a liter of blueberries. Mix some flour with the berries - otherwise the pie will get all wet. About a tablespoon or so.

    Pour the crumbles over the berries. Bake in 225 degrees Celsius, 20-25 minutes until the crumbles are golden.

    Serve with custard or whipped cream. This pie also works with apples or raspberries or rhubarb.

    hey thanks Isagel and ravana. I am going to shop tomorrow, so I will cook this miracles.. wau, such a wondefrul weekend in front of me. You know I was thinking what is so great about cooking (in my case), and the answer is: I am having summer term and it is so awful to study over summer that I do whatever just not to study (no study pls...) and I have midterms next week, so whole weekend will be about cooking for sure hihi

    I'm not an expert on metric measurements (obviously ) but I think dkg might mean "deka-grams". From what I remember, and guessing from the recipe itself, the prefix "dk" means 10 times more than the original unit, and the prefix "d" or "dc" means 10 times less. Don't take my word on that though, I could be wrong.

    These recipes sound delicious. Someday I will have to post some of my favorite recipes, but right now I have been online way too long. See you later.

    dl or dcl = deciliter , one tenth of a liter. If I remember correctly a cup is almost 1,5 dl.

    ik, cabbage rolls are awful, typical eastern european/russian fair. Theres some stuff that should just stay in those countries.

    I like this recipe I use to make a banana cake.

    cream half a cup of butter with a cup of sugar.
    add two eggs to the mixture and stir in.
    mash two large old bananas into it.
    Add 2 cups self raising flour.
    back for 50 minutes in an oven at 180 degrees C.

    Its worth it!

    I am not a very good cook. The list of things which I can cook is very short, but I will give you some that I noticed are not given here. If my recipes contain mistakes, feel free to correct them. My english is better than my cooking, but I can make mistakes in grammar too, so you can correct the grammar too.

    Here are two good and simple recipes:

    *Tea.
    1)Take a pot and fill it with water.
    2)Put the lid on it.
    3)Put it on the cooker.
    4)Make the water boil.
    5)When it starts boiling, take the lid off, put some tea powder in it and take the pot off the fire.
    6)Put the lid back.
    7) Let the tea brew so for about two minutes, then pour it in cups.
    8)You can put some sugar in it if you like it. Enjoy.



    NB!Ask from someone else in this forum to get to know about advanced tea-making and the exact numbers of how long the tea should brew or how much sugar per how much water should be used.


    *Fryed egg.
    1)Put a pan on the stove.
    2)Wait.
    3)When the pan is hot enough you can start cooking.
    4)Take an egg.
    5)Take a knife. (If you crack the egg on the edge of the pan, ignore this step)
    6)The following things must be done over the pan. Use the knife or the edge of a pan to make a crack in the eggshell.
    7)Pull the shell open so that the inside would fall on the pan. The egg should congeal on the pan. The center of the egg should be yellow and the sides should be white.
    8) Wait for some time.When the egg appears to be black or brown you have waited for too long and you have to redo the steps 1-7. If not, you have successfully fried an egg. You can put salt or pepper on it if you like. Enjoy!

    Like I said before, you should ask from the other forum-members for information of the exact numbers.


    Hope I have helped you.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    I was talking to papayahed about how we should start a recipe thread, to mix and share. Here's my favorite. Mangos are to die for. This is also incredibly easy to make, and people will think you are a gourmet cook. The taste sensations are out of this world.

    Halibut with Pineapple Mango Salsa

    First in a mixing bowl, combine...

    1 cup diced pineapple
    3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
    1/2 cup diced red onion
    1/2 cup diced fresh mango
    1/2 cup Mango nectar
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel (this is optional)
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Mix these nice and good, then set the salsa in the frig for a bit to marinate.

    You can cook the halibut steaks however you feel comfortable. You can sear them in a pan with a little oil, or simply bake them in the oven. Searing them depends on the size of the cut, but 4-6 minutes each side ususally does it. Or 25-30 minutes in the oven at 350.

    On the side, just add some vegetables of your liking. I usually cut up green and yellow squash, add a little oil, butter, salt/ pepper and cook it on the stove for about five or seven minutes on medium heat with a lid. Snow peas are also a nice side dish. Cooked similarly.
