Whats KD? KD Lange the singer? lol

@ritchie v what can I say it is what it is. I have fed a party of twenty and they were nightmare kids hahahha. Ok I am not going to do the 'my dad is better than yours silliness' but I call what I call it. A troll no I am real. Well Mr don't be hard on women just because a woman can't cook it doesn't mean she can't learn and just because a woman smokes it doesn't mean she can't quit if she wanted to that is and having those traits concerning women will leave with a dry woman who will bore you to death be open Mr...

I said if they dont want to learn. Since we are talking about food " Variety is the Spice of Life " Im not being hard, Quote " Im real " I love making my own freshly Ground spices, People have to taste my cooking, I take pleasure in cooking for people, I am a passionate person in all that I do in life, even annoying you haha

KD not KS :)

Peony Blue I havnt tried it, it teminds me if Tapioca i ussd to have at school, or porridge. Abd yes I do Love Honey.

@ritchie v keep on being passionate and your recipe looks good!

Todays Meal Courgettes, Olive oil, Garlic in a Tomato sauce with chilli flakes and Balsamic Vinegar, possibly Pasta with oregano and mushrooms. The mushrooms I think might Flood the meal, or some Ciabatta bread instead of pasta. Main meal is later. Some of the ugliest foods taste the best, look at passion fruits. Meal will cost me no more than 79 pence to make.

Hey Alyx, Ahh I didnt know what KD was lol Im not a fussy eater, I can eat mostly anything, and im not allergic to anything either. I cant get enough spice, but if I eat a spicy dish, I wouldnt eat ith with a subtle flavoured meal as it would ruin the taste. A good well chosen wine is a must, with a good meal. We are so lucky we can get so much over here. Like I said before I have grown my own stuff before and it tastes so much nices. eg Tomatoes I grew tasted so rich and yummy, and not watery like shop bought ones. They class fruits and veg so they look pretty and not all wonkey looking, which is so wasteful. Get into Rice, did you know there are 40,000 varietys of rice, fuck me sideways I was shocked also. You cant beat it and it goes with so much food. Its like Jeans, U can wear it with anything. Like I said I am very good with money and very resourceful also.

Quinoa is known as Goosefoot Genus lol Hmm Let me Make a Goosefoot Genus Cereal

Alyx I normally go to farm shops where you can get great deals, or health food shops. What does Quinoa taste like? No one has described ho wit tastes.I love Nuts, and sprinkling sesame seeds on my salads. Peanut oil is great for Chinese cooking. If kids eat your cooking its generally a good sign you are a good cook, and its important to introduce kids to so many tastes and experiences that you can when they are young. They will grow up having a passion and love for life.
