Got a question for

those in the know:

How much ground cardamon could you use to equal 6 cardamom pods? I have a good recipe that

calls for cardamom pods that must be ground, but I\'m not gonna find cardamom pods anywhere near here. I just have

ground cardamom.

Any ideas?

[Elana]

That\'s a tough one. Cardamom

pods are pretty small. Their shell disintegrates when you cook it. I have never been much for measuring things.

Maybe each pod would be 1/4 teaspoon. I really don\'t know.

What are you making? Maybe that will help to figure

out an appropriate amount.

I found a really

good recipe for chai concentrate that you can keep in the fridge for a few weeks and just add milk in equal parts as

you want some. I like it better than hot cocoa when it\'s cold.

Here\'s the recipe:

Crush together:
2 t black pepper
2 t

fresh ginger root
6 pods cardamom
10\" cinnamon stick
3 t cloves

Add to 8c water. Bring to a boil and cook on

medium for 10 min. Add 8tsp black tea. (Darjeeling is a good one.) Steep for 8 min or so. Strain out spices and tea.

Add 1tsp vanilla and 3tsp honey. Refrigerate. Heat as needed with equal parts milk.

Sounds yummy, no?

People who don\'t

like cilantro have one fewer gene than those that do like it - honest!

[Elana]

SRH...use about 1/4

teaspoons per 4 servings.

This thread needed reviving

and I just tried this one last week. Tedious to make but...Excellent!


2 pounds ground walnuts
2 pounds ground

almonds
1/2 pound melted butter
Fillo dough

2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cups water.


Mix the

ground nuts together.
Spread an even layer of butter on a 12\" X 17\" baking sheet and place two layers of fillo

dough on it.
Spread a layer of butter on the top layer of dough and sprinkle with a layer of ground nuts.
Cover

with 2 more layers of dough and spread butter then nuts on the top layer. Keep repeating this process until you run

out of nuts. Use the remaining butter on the top layer of dough.

Cut into 2\" squares, then into triangles.

It\'s difficult to do but a long thin knife works pretty well.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. The

tops should be golden brown.

While it is baking place the sugar and cinnamon in a pan and pour the water over it.

Cook until it is about as thick as honey. When the pastry is done, pour the hot/warm sugar water mixture over it and

allow it to soak in.

Ok here is one of the best

recipes, that I will release to the public. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

- Two pieces of

bread
- A jar of peanut butter
- A jar of Strawberry Jelly.
- Two different butter knifes.
- A

plate

Take one peace of bread and cover one side with Peanut butter, be as liberal as you want. Take the

other piece of bread and cover one side with Jelly.

Now here is the tricky part, take the two pieces from

each covered side and stick them together, and eat. Dinner in 30 seconds.

What kind of steak is your preference? Chips? Why not the good 'ol stand-by,

Baked potato with the works! And what kind of beer?

[Elana]

He is a Brit. Chips mean French

Fries

[deb]

French Fries

Well, I still think Baked potato with steak, or is that just an American thing?

[CptKipling]

It could be a baked potato, but

baking is for girls. Just go to the chippy (fish and chip shop) and get some chips.

My steak has to be

slightly pink in the middle, anything less cooked and it's going back to the kitchen

Beer of choice

would probably be Grolsch, but I'm not usually that fussy.

wow, english people know how to write

You still didn't answer about what cut of steak

you prefer, ribeye, filet mignon, t-bone, etc. Is Grolsch a dark beer?

[Elana]

Grolsch has a real cool lid.


Delmonic steak for me

[CptKipling]

You still didn't

answer about what cut of steak you prefer, ribeye, filet mignon, t-bone, etc. Is Grolsch a dark

beer?

My favourite cut...I don't know, anything but cheap rump or sirloin. As

long as it's thick enough to stay juicy I'm happy. I did have a very nice ribeye when I was in Florida, so if I

had to choose I'd say that.

As 'lana said, Grolsch is a larger with a cool swing-top bottle (not

dark or anything that fancy)

Has that answered your question, lady deb?

Yes, although I question the "cheap rump". I liked your answer of "Ribeye" much

better. You might want to stay away from cheap rump, cause you never know what you goin to get!

[Elana]

[JustPeachy]

I have discovered that a

sufficient amount of Grolsch can be converted from beer into a powerful hallucinogen by the average human body.

(I'm sure and above-average body could do even better.) I'll have a sixer and a rib-eye, thanks. Very well-done,

and you can give the filet to the dog. I'm just in it for the tail.
