Did you put your vest on? Go back up and put it on now. Do you want a chill on your kidneys?

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

And turn off that TV. You'll get square eyes.

:eek:

Ok... So how many User Accounts does my mother have here anyway? :p

I always thought there must be some sort of secret mothers club... They all know the same things to say and they all seem to know when their kid has done something wrong... almost before the kid does it.

My mother STILL seems able to do that from 5000 miles away. :rofl:

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

and just so's you know, the radar never shuts down.....:nod:

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

From the look of Post 92, she's even hacked your own account:D

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

:D Now if only I could manage to explain email to her.

On-Topic... My wife had me check the timer on the stove last night...

Me... it says 400
Her...
Her... *comes to look herself*
Her... Thats the temperature
Me... Clueless

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Yup, yup, yup, that would be about right.

:tape:

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Well they should use proper temperatures on the oven!

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Gas mark 5.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

WTF is wrong with Celcius? :confused:

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Nothing, except it's spelt 'Celsius'. I just said the gas mark because it is a uniquely British thing.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Rice pudding.

I CANNOT get the proportions right. I have my mother's recipe but the rice seems to behave differently?

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

You're right, thanks for correcting me.
Celsius is uniquely un-american... I prefer it because I used it at home when I cooked. Unlike you, I actually learned how to actually use the oven.

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

Now that's annoying. :frown: Do you think it's because the rice itself is different?

Re: Cooking Mistakes
 

I have no idea. In England we used to get something called "Carolina rice", so you would think it was American. But it isn't called that here and the only short grain rice seems to be either Arborio or Sushi (which is too sticky). Then there is medium grain rice, which doesn't seem right either.
