Thank you. My Baba was half blind and never made the cake the same way twice(as I'm sure most Baba's do
) so it is impossible to goof up.

Yeah- Baba's apple cake looks good- I may try it too.....
Wish I had that recipe a couple months ago- I have both apples and walnut trees growing in the yard!! I was trying to come up with apple recipes-
There is a stand up the road where someone is selling their walnuts- I may have to go grab a bag now

^^ For Christmas my Mum put together a brie cheese recipe with walnuts, she actually made the ingredients but I assembled it together when we were serving it. It went a little something like this:
Ingredients:
1 round of brie cheese
1 part gorgonzola
1 part goats cheese
1/2 cup crushed walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup cranberries
port wine
sugar
Simmer the cranberries and port wine and sugar together to make a syrup, chill in the fridge. (Note: my Mum did this part before I arrived so I don't know exactly how she did it or what the measurements were). Mix together some goats cheese and gorgonzola until soft, set aside.
Cut 1 round of brie cheese in half horizontally. Spread half the gorgonzola/goats cheese mixture over the bottom half of the brie, sprinkle over half the walnuts and spoon over that some of the cranberry syrup mixture. Place the other half of the brie on top, and repeat with the remaining mixtures on top. Cut in to wedges while it's still cold (otherwise it'll be too soft to cut and will just moosh everywhere :D). Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
It was SO yummy and looked really festive

I don't get down with brie but i'll pass this on to my pops, thanks!
here's my winter warmer
Evad's almost entirely original (small credits to Levi Roots and Good Food for initial inspirations) warming as fuck Jamaican winter soup.
Serves - Loads
Ingredients:
Recipe:
1. Chop the sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes, chop the leeks, garlic, ginger and scotch bonnets (discard the seeds if you’re not massively into heat because they’re some serious badbois). Get a big pan with a lid and chuck in a decent bit of olive oil, chuck in all the chopped ingredients and give them a stir and fry them gently, get them coated. Turn the heat down low and put the lid on the pan until they all sweat down to fairly soft and smell delicious.
2. Add in the coconut milk, drain and add the chickpeas, add the can of tomatoes and then add the veg stock. Chuck in a handful of thyme and plenty of turmeric and give it a good stir. Get it on a gentle simmer and put the lid back on until everything is soft and cooked through.
3. Chop up and add in the spinach and season well with the salt and pepper, give it another stir.
4. When the spinach is cooked but not slimy add in a knob of butter for a final bit of extra richness, stir until melted, taste and season accordingly.
5. Mash everything right up with a potato masher until gorgeous and thick.
6. Serve right away in big bowls with a good dollop of sour cream and some buttered crusty bread.
7. Take some time to think about how awesome Evad is and remember to thank him.

^^ Sounds delicious!!
Hey you know what Dave?? The sugar probably wasn't in there! I was just guessing cos it sounded right. But now that I think of it, the port would've reduced enough to make it as sweet as it was.
So, scratch the sugar

I have had brie since and it tasted great, not at all like penis

Okay so yesterday I wanted something homey and warm......
I made this recipe up and actually measured things out this time
It is sort of like Goulash but mixed with Penne and almost like an italitan/hungarian/cajun ziti type thing
You will need:
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
One lb. Ground Bison (or you could do beef/turkey/veal/pork/whatever)
1 1/2 tbsp Hungarian Paprika
1 tsp Garlic
2 Bay leaves
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1 cube beef stock
veggies:
One red- one green bell pepper
Carrots and onions
can of tomato paste
First I put about a tablespoon on olive oil in my skillet-
Added one tbsn of minced garlic and one pound of ground Bison-
While that was browning I chopped one red and one green bell pepper, one and a half small onions, and a half a cup (should have done more) of carrots.......
I boiled 2 cups of water and added it to my measuring cup with one beef stock cube.
I mixed up
1 1/2 tbsp Hungarian Paprika
1/4 tsp salt
a little over 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp thyme and 2 bay leaves-
I drained the bison- put it back into the skillet
I added the veggies to the Bison once the bison was browned and drained
I added the spices to the mix after a couple mins.
Then I added the beef broth I made with the beef stock cube........
I stirred it up and covered it.
Waited about five minutes and then brought water to a boil and cooked about 8 oz. of whole wheat penne pasta.
While cooking the pastsa I added 2 1/2 tbsp tomato paste to the bison and veggie mix.
Once the pasta was done- I drained and put it back into the large pot I cooked it in- added the bison mix to the pasta mixed it up really good-
served it with a spoonful of sour cream that we mixed in well........
The sour cream could be added to the entire thing if you wanted.
It was pretty tasty.
If someone tries it- please let me know what you think.......
I am so glad I put this here!!
I couldn't find the recipe and planned to make it tonight!!

This is hilarious. My best friend's older sister told us when we were 13 that brie tasted like semen, so naturally we went out and bought some to check and were pleasantly surprised.
Come another few years and that viewpoint changed somewhat
Best Pancakes Ever!.... No seriously, they're amazing.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1.5 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 stick melted butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
+butter on top and maple syrup obviously. I usually quadruple the recipe.
This has seriously gained a reputation amongst my friends. They have adopted and shared it with others
I haven't eaten pancakes at a restaurant in years because their buttermilk recipe tastes like crap compared to this.
