PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"OTCC - Ma Starshines baked rice" |
Nothing too exciting, just two very nice recipes that I enjoyMa Starshines baked rice Basic recipe 1 medium onion chopped
1 leek chopped
1 tbsp vegetable oil
200g/7oz rice (I have only ever used Basmati)
275ml/9.25floz Chicken Stock
salt A dish with lid that you can use on the stovetop and in the oven. Preheat oven to 200 C. In a stovetop and oven proof caserole dish fry onion and leek in the oil until soft, add rice and fry for a couple of minutes then add salt and stock. Put lid on, put in oven and cook for 35 minutes. Take out of oven and remove lid. Stir. If there are grains of rice that look uncooked add a little boiling water and put the lid back on for five minutes. (generally you shouldn't need to do this). Serve. What I actually cook
OK I don't do it quite as above, this is a great recipe for using spare veg and leftover ham, bacon, chicken, and/or turkey. In fact part of the reason that I buy a rotisserie chicken most weeks is to put it in this. The below is only a suggestion feel free to add or remove ingredients as you wish, I would only use two meats at most.
2 medium chopped onions
2 or 3 chopped leeks
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Chopped mushrooms
1 chopped red bell pepper
Chopped Ham
Chopped Bacon
Chopped Chicken
Chopped Turkey
4 or 5 cloves
4 or 5 cardamom pods
300g rice (I have only ever used Basmati)
390ml Chicken Stock
salt Fry the onions and leeks with the bacon, when half cooked throw in a handful of sliced mushrooms and a chopped red bell pepper, when the onion and leek are soft, stir in the rice as above and stir for a couple of minutes then throw in 4 or 5 cardamom pods and 4 or 5 cloves*, one chopped carrot, and poultry and/or ham with the stock. Then cook as above. A wonderful thing about this recipe is how customisable it is, feel free to add or remove ingredients and let me know how it goes. *Try to take out the cloves and cardamom pods before serving.
Eton Mess
Fresh strawberries, hulled (other summer fruits could be used, and whilst fresh is best defrosted frozen could be used). Apparently there aren't any fresh strawberries  although I do have a couple of pounds in my fridge 
Icing sugar
Double cream
Meringues (crushed, but not too small, say roughly 1/2 inch cubes, not something to worry about too much though) Proportions roughly 3 cream, 3 strawberries. 1 meringue, sugar to taste not too much though. Whip cream until floppy, stir in fruit, icing sugar to taste and meringues. Put in bowls/glasses and serve.
If you use plain yogurt then this is also good although a bit thicker. I have also stirred in some flavoured yogurt. If you want to make a coulis then this can look good lightly stirred through and swirled on the top.
 Lovely cheese Mooney
Just another Sleeperbloke
Two people IRL have told me that these recipes are a little dull, let me know if you agree and I can post a more complex one tomorrow

2. "Translation please" |
Icing sugar is powdered sugar - right?
Double cream is heavy cream - right?
Meringues - these are cookies - yes? and I don't think we have any in this small town so will any cookie be a good substitute?

Meringues in cookie form, I haven't seen them, but it makes a lot of sense, very easy to use for this recipe

The baked rice sounds like a great recipe, especially for fall and also because it's so versatile. Can't wait to try it!
About the strawberries, they're still in the market, it's just that they're just not as tasty these days and they've usually taken a long truck ride from some far-off land.
However, I do still have a few of the last local peaches which I think would be perfect for this. The peaches alone have a hint of vanilla flavor to them already, so with the whipped cream I think they'd be decadently divine. 
A Mmmmmmmoonie plate special!

And exactly why have you not joined OTCC - I'd love to see some of your Cuban influenced dishes.

This was the perfect compliment to the Weltek's orange chicken skewers.The kids loved the rice and didn't even notice the "icky" onions and leeks. I popped the cardamon and cloves in which really gave off a great aroma when cooking. And I got to use my dutch oven Like others have posted before, this will be an excellent way to get rid of left overs in the fridge. I know this will quickly become a comfort food in our house hold. Thanks! And I am actually going to try the Eton Mess tonight. For some strange reason there were strawberries in the grocery store today, so I thought I would try it. I plan to serve it with copious amounts of wine, in case the strawberries are a little dodgy.
