Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

"I thought I would draw attention to Post 1993"
fred/nazi nick keeps on posting that same message........

I'm still waiting for post 1993........
It's sad in a way, he can't even get a simple number correct.
Does he get anything right?
Rhetorical question.
We all know the answer.

Baba Ghannouj

1 large round eggplant (aubergine)
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
60 milliliters (3 oz., 4 Tbs.) tahina
60 milliliters (2 oz., 4 Tbs.) lemon juice
salt, red pepper
olive oil
chopped parsley
slices of red bell pepper to garnish
Cook the eggplant in a hot oven or on a fork over the flame of a gas stove. When it is well cooked through and the skin is blackened, douse with cold water, peel and chop into small pieces. Mash two or three cloves of garlic to a paste with about the same volume of salt. Add eggplant, mash to a smooth consistency and blend the tahina and lemon juice to make the Arab version of this dish; omit the tahina for the Turkish version. Serve in a bowl with little olive oil on top and garnish chopped parsley, red pepper slices and a dusting of red pepper. Serves five.

Shakshouka

4 Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
4 Big size green peppers, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Ground corriander
Fry green peppers with tablespoon vegetable oil and teaspoon olive oil. When slightly tender, add over the garlic and cook a few minutes longer.

Add over the rest of the ingredients and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes or till mixture thickens.

Serve this appetizer with fresh pita bread.

Ratatouille
with translation for the old french empire citizens

This Niise dish is much more than a vegetable soup. It can be prepared fairly quickly by cooking everything together at the same time, but that needs to be done in the correct sequence to not miss out the art and the flavour of the dish.

It's also true that the recipe can legitimately vary (somewhat) according to tastes, but the variations should be based on experience. The volume is also very variable.

"Too much" doesn't apply to ratatouille. Cook it the first time, and eat it hot as the main course; then have it again later as a cold hors-d'oeuvre. In the summer time, it's great as a cold main-course dish. It keeps for several days in the refrigerator. Ratatouille is good served with couscous grain (semoule) or rice.

Cooking Pot - we use a large pressure cooker, without the pressure.



1.6 kg tomato [tomate]
700 g eggplant (2) [aubergine]
500 g zucchini (2) [courgette]
700 g bell pepper (2-3) [poivron]
1 kg onion [oignon]
6 cloves garlic [ail]
Herbes de Provence (basilic,thyme, parsley)
olive oil [huile d'olive]
salt, pepper [sel, poivre]
140 g tomato paste

Classical Method

1. Cut the eggplant into rondelles; keep separate. Peel the zucchini, cut into rondelles, keep separate. Clean the bell pepper, cut into small strips, keep separate. Chop the onion, keep separate.

2. Peel, de-seed and drain the tomatoes

3. Using four separate cooking pots, put some olive oil in the bottom; put in the eggplant, zucchini, pepper, and onion into their own pots; sprinkle some flour onto the eggplant and onto the zucchini. Put the four pots on to cook slowly. Each cooks for about 30 minutes, but test and cook each until correctly soft.

4. In a large cooking pot with a thick bottom, put in olive oil, chopped garlic, herbes de Provence. Squeeze the tomatoes in by hand. Cook slowly until you have a thick tomato sauce.

5. Add the four separately cooked vegetables to the tomato sauce, mix thoroughly and heat. Pour off the excess oil from the top. It's ready to serve.

bon appetit

fred says,
"However, I would be careful about some of the recipes."

Quite right, too. This is all a Jewish Zionist plot and the recipes are poisoned to kill off their enemies.

Fred - 'I wonder what the motivation is to divert attention from the original topic'

Could it be that you are an obnoxious boring old fart with severe physco tendacies ?

Is that why you don't click on links about Hamas?

Congratulations, Brilliance as expected from many of you.

Chuck in a few mantras and you will be at home.

I wonder if Israel thinks your advertisement is representative of them.

The majority of whom I would think they would prefer sensible discussion..

I think many of reasons for the posting are representative of yourselves, rather the Israelis.

Have you read posting 1788 If you can it may interest you, it did me.

Those were the days .....

Vienetta

Crispy chocolate sandwiched between vanilla ice cream. How can you resist? I can't that's my problem.
A dessert of Vienetta weighs 320g. Each 100g contains 255 calories. Very very naughty, but I still can't say no.
I currently have two in my freezer, as they were on offer at the weekend, and somehow there is still some left.
Original Vienetta, in my opinion is the best of the range, but you can also buy it in Mint, biscuit, lemon, and chocolate flavours.

Ingredients:
concentrated skimmed milk
chocolate flavour coating
sugar
vegetable fat
whey solids
glucose
emulsifier
stabiliser
vegetable fat
coloring

Quite disgusting when you think about all those ingredients mashed together, but it is the complete opposite. Creaminess fills your mouth, and the crunch of chocolate sound exactly the same way after eights crisp when you bite them.
We don't buy it very often in our house because it doesn't last very long. My daughter definately doesn't get a look in. It's too good to waste on kids. I have to buy her her own ice cream when I get Vienetta.
This makes it work out quite expensive. The Vienetta itself ranges from 1.20 (Asda) to about 1.99 approx (Safeways). This on it's own is a very good price for ice cream, but then I have to buy for my daughter as well. (I know I am a cruel mum).
Other flavours are slightly more expensive than Original, for reasons I don't know. I would choose it over the rest any day.
If you are an ice cream addict then buy it, you will not be disapointed.

Thanks for reading. It was a bit strange writing about ice cream. There is only so much you can say, except it's yummy, yummy, yummy.
Oops, I said that already didn't I?

Fred nice edit to your post 1943. At least have the balls to stick to what say. Perhaps you realised afterwards that it was a bit hypocritical.

fred/nazi nick seems to think anyone who disagrees with him
a) is pro-Israel
b) stupid
c) devious
d) and all part of a secret cabal PLOTTING against him

Paranoid....

ITL,

Your postings remind me of a member of a gang on a kitchen sink housing estate,

Shouting and mouthing abuse with little understanding.

Happy to be destructive, but unable to be constructive.

Preferring to run around with those similar to yourself, without respect of others, or their opinion.

If you have children, who portray the same traits as you appear to do, I feel sorry for them and society.

Although, you have amused me, I feel it is time to push the squelch button once again.

You could do the same for my postings.

Fred seems to be ignoring my posts all of a sudden. Squash up you lot. I think I might be on the squelchy step.

Hey ITL - would you mind looking for a new step?

Mighty, Hils and I are all nice and cosy on this one.

Isaacs - you'll have to join ITL on the Jew step. I might come join you later.

OK will be just like being back at Primary School.

Isaacs,

Posting 1943, I am not certain what the edit was, or why I made it.

If you post me, I may be able to recollect the reason for doing so..

But, I type more slowly than I think, I sometimes have to edit a post to make it clearer.

(For myself at least and hopefully others.)

Sometimes, I don't type "n't" when I had intended to.

Hypocritical. probably sometimes, but do I reflect and question myself?

Often.

Do you?

However, I hope my hypocrisy is of to a minor degree and of little consequence.

Have a nice day.

Oh, I shouldn't be a hypocrite!

8-)

Why not?


Corrected and edited.

drivel

Gosh, I didn't know we had a Jew step as well. When I were a lad I wanted to be Jewish so that I wouldn't have to go to morning assembly. Is it too late?

MM
It's never too late. Just pass me those rusty nail clippers!
