Evening all

Im another one who has given up bread completely -15 weeks now and not a crumb -and Im not missing it at all, but I know "1 slice" and I would be off and :EasterBun....
Blackberry the recipe Im going to try is from the simply summer book and uses fromage frais -which is a bit less "gloopy" than Quark.... hope its nice as hubby loves it...

can someone please tell me what chicken Kiev is actually SUPPOSED to be like. I cooked two (naturally I didn't look up the recipe on here!) and ate one, the other is for work tomorrow. It was very dry, but I always find breast dry. But surely the cheesy garlicky stuff should melt through and make it tasty and juicy? Well it didn't, it was just sitting there all claggy in the middle. I used quark, was that wrong? Just out of interest. Muchos thankos.

My kiev recipe went a bit off-plan as I decided to put garlic mushrroms in. I used quark and it completely disappeared but kept the mushrooms and chicken nice and moist.
Could it be that you cooked yours for a longer time on a higher temp. I'm rubbish at cooking meat as I was a vegetarian for 13 years and never ever learnt how to cok it - I'm terrified of underdoing meat so let it cook long and slow.

I havent tried kievs yet, although the kids do love them, but i was not sure how to do it plus im mostly sticking to green days at the mo

Oh, ladies and gents - terrible day following that 'just one jaffa cake' this morning. I just went into that what the heck thing and ate and ate..

The sugar free polos didn't even affect me other than to give me a sore tum which, along with all the other stuff I've eaten it is just going round and round like a big washing machine.

Well tomorrow is another day and another blank page in my book of syns. Pass me that electric fairy splatter, Vixie!

Sorry to hear about your Kiev, Blackberry - not sure it's ever going to be great as an SW dish, it should have boiling hot butter spurting out as you cut it; when I was young and it was THE thing to eat in restaurants, the waiters used to offer to cut it open for you so it didn't blort all over your new frock.

I'm useless at "real" cooking (fantabuloso at microwaving from scratch) so I cooked them for about 20 mins with the dial at about 175, and apparently in the halogen oven the temps are higher iyswim. So maybe that was why it didn't melt down. It was cooked through. And the cat thought it was fab

Inazuma, there was no spurting going on, believe me! It was edible, I've had worse SW recipes (many of 'em) but boring. Oh well, another one off the list

I'm gonna get me some of them sf polos!!!

Hi Inazuma, sorry youre having a bad day, once it starts its impossible to stop isnt it. Bet the polos have a different effect tomorrow!

I feel fat and blotted tonight then I got thinking ( don't do that very offen ) are all sea food sticks free? I've had a lot of them today and just got a horriable feeling they are not. In the hand book they say free but just want to double check.

Inazuma

Blackberry, Shaz -I will let you know how the polos affected me tomorrow. Maybe I will poo myself down to a size 10 overnight!!
