Pasta salad by pictures, step by step
As one picture tells more than 1000 words...
1: put to bowl some green lettuce, add a little olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper and mix. Put slices of tomato to bowl as picture.
2: add cooked pasta on lettuce.
3: add grated carrots and mushrooms (you can cook them few minutes in oil if you like and spice as you like).
4: add sliced cucumber and corn.
5: put on salad 2 boiled eggs, each cutted to 4 parts, add some salt and pepper (or other spices&herbs you prefer).
As you can see, salad is very simple but looks nicer when different incredients are layered by they own. And of course, using different vegetables you will get again new kind of salad.
Recipes? can you give link to any of these. I made banana cake recently using a recipe i made myself (see previous post). I like experimenting with stuff.

1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, quartered, then diced
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped, toasted
2 large eggs
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, (1 stick)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tea spoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Place cupcake liners inside a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add diced apples and walnuts, tossing to coat.
4. Whisk together eggs, yogurt and butter, in a small bowl. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t over mix or muffins will be tough.
5. Divide batter among muffin cups.
6. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle a little of the mixture over the top of each muffin.
7. Bake until muffins are brown around edges and spring back when touched, 16 to 18 minutes.
8. Remove muffin pan to a rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, turn out muffins onto the wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Or freeze in a plastic container for longer storage.

First prepare the meringue mixture for the meringue nests. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form (about 1 minute at the highest speed with an electric table top mixer fitted with a balloon whisk). Start adding the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking continually at high speed.
When all sugar has been added, continue whisking until the mixture is very stiff and shiny. Now add the vinegar, vanilla sugar and cornstarch through a sieve. Whisk just until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
With the help of two spoons, form the meringue mixture into nest-shaped rounds onto a lightly buttered baking parchment.
Bake the nests at 100 °C, on the middle rack of the oven, for 1½ hours.
Let the meringues cool a bit, then lift them carefully with a spatula and place on a wire rack to cool down completely.
Season the cream with a pinch of sugar and vanilla sugar and whip until soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into and over the meringue nests.
Halve a couple of passion fruits and spoon their filling over the whipped cream. Finally dot the filled meringues with the raspberries. Serve immediately.

3 eggs
1 ½ cup sugar
1 cup canola oil
½ cup tahini
½ cup cold milk
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
For the coating:
1 tsp soft margarine
½ cup sesame
2 tbsp walnut pieces
In a large bowl, mix the eggs and sugar with a mixer till it gets foamy (for about 5 minutes). Add canola oil and cold milk. Stir with a wooden spoon. Then, stir in flour and baking powder. Finally add tahini and stir well to dissolve all ingredients.
Meanwhile, apply soft margarine all over the cake pan with a brush or your fingers. Pour the sesame inside and try to coat inside the cake pan evenly. And then, pour the cake mixture inside and sprinkle with walnuts on top.
Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and bake for about 40-50 minutes till the cake turns golden brown.
½ cup canola oil
125 gr butter/margarine, softened
1 Tbsp vinegar
½ cup water
1 egg white (yolk is for the glaze)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp salt to taste
3 ½ -4 cups flour
½ cup sesame and nigella seeds
Mix the dough ingredients in a big bowl. Then, knead the dough until becomes soft and consistent. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Grab walnut size pieces and shape them into long sticks thick as pencil. Cut the sticks in 4-5 inch long. Brush each stick with the egg yolk you set aside before. Place sesame and nigella seeds (or only sesame) over a flat plate and dip one side of the sticks into it for covering with sesame and nigella (or only sesame) seeds. Take the sticks over a greased oven tray.
Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and bake them for about 30-35 minutes or until they get light brown.

Here's our dinner the other night. I followed this online recipe lol
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
3.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1.25 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter when pan is too hot (then slowly lessen the fire-this is to be able to get the beauty of brown texture), using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
You can use butter+honey syrup, chocolate or anything you like....
Usually I eat chicken breasts.. tuna.. tilapia.. and occasionally when I have money I will buy salmon.. A few days ago my mum went to a "non-corporate" supermarket and bought a whole bunch of salmons lol. I can tell from the salmon cuts that it was from a whole fish. I'm eating salmon almost everyday this week lol.
To cook it I just stab it a few times with a small knife on both skin side and flesh side. Rub some seasoning, heat up the pan with some olive oil. Put it on there skin side down, 6 minutes, flip, 6 minutes, flip. If I see that it is edible I will eat it with some baked beans.
Take sugar in a bowl, add the cocoa powder. Mix them together.
Now start dry ingredients, add flour, soda and salt. Mix them together.
Take 1 cup of boiling water.
To the dry mixture, add shortenings, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.
Start to blend. Add a cup of boiling water and blend more.
Put the cake mixture in a pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 -35 minutes.
Check after 30 minutes, bake more if required.
Frost the cake with chocolate butter cream frosting.
Slice the cake and serve with a scoop of ice cream.
I have made Chocolate Cakes at home and they're delicious!
I love going shopping to purchase the ingredients
I hate baking because you have to "pre heat" the oven at so and so degrees.. How am I supposed to know how many degrees it is?!
Me too! I just don't get the whole oven concept! It just takes a bit of getting used to. Normally instead of preheating I leave it off and when I'm ready to put the cooking in I turn the oven on and leave it for longer
Seems you all have lost your appetite as last post in this thread was made at over a month ago. Ok, cookie time.
Ginger cookies
(Approx. 50 cookies)
200 g butter
250 g all-purpose flour
250 g white sugar
2 tbsp. syrup or honey
1 egg yolk
2 tsp. soda
2 tbsp. ground ginger
* * *
1. Put oven on 200 degrees Celcius.
2. Chop the butter into the flour.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Knead the dough well.
5. Roll the dough into 2-2½ cm thick balls.
6. Place the balls on a baking tray (without any paper underneath).
NOTE: the balls flatten out by themselves in the oven, so make sure to keep a good distance between them - about 7 cm's apart. The bigger you make the balls, the more space you need between them... You won't be able to put all 50 of them in the oven at the same time, unless your oven is huge.
7. Put the tray in the middle of the pre-heated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden. Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes have passed, because depending on your oven quality and the size of your cookies they might already be ready to take out.
8. Let the cookies cool on the tray for a minute or two after taking them out of the oven, because when they're still hot, they break easily if you try to remove them from the tray! When the cookies are ready (not too hot anymore), transfer them to cool a bit more on a flat surface. Serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container.
