Ritchie: Some nice looking meals there. Im not sure about the quinona and honey thing.
Ritchie: 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
Ritchie: Sounds delicious
peony: @ritchie v keep on being passionate and your recipe looks good!
peony: @ritchie V quinoa is nothing like porridge. It is so good just cook it and add it to say salad and it contains 7 amino acids that is like mega. Like anything in life if u try and u like it great if not move on to something else. Simples!
Ritchie: Whats KD? KD Lange the singer? lol
Ritchie: Ritchie V's Tip 101 - Dont use Powdered Chilli, its not good and its that red colour because of Chemicals. Make your own, or get Chilli flakes, its so easy, get Your Fav chillis put them in an oven on a low heat for 30 mins to an hour, keep checking till they are dry, Then Get a Coffee grinder, I use mine especially for spices, and then filter it out with a Sieve. I did that with some Blow Your Wig off Heat Chilli's I grew a few years ago.
Ritchie: Peony Blue, I agree, I have eaten Caviar, and Loved it, it looks Gross, but will never eat it again for moral reasons. I love Growing Things, and have always been successful, and its great fun, and can save loads of money. I Love meat, but not really fussed. Seafood I cant get enough of, but all these foods are expensive. Free Range food does taste and look different, its so easy to tell the difference. Peony I dont think you would Try 1000 Year old Chinese eggs. If you claim you would try anything new, go make a youtube video of you trying it, I would get my Cinema seat and get popcorn and pay to watch that lol
peony: @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...
Jennifer: These look good for families too..not just students
