What kind of oil do you people cook with?

Canola is the best most healthful there is, you shouldn't cook with anything else. (Except olive oil, which isn't good for everything.) It's the only kind I use for anything -- stir-frying, in recipes, whatever.

I'm pants at pastry. I coat the kitchen in it when I try. And it is just way too much work. That's why I like this one. ;)

They are both oils Dea....

When big bro had heart attack the docs said use Grapeseed oil along with Olive oil

Strange thing is he is the healthiest among us all..slim, non smoker, mad exercise freak and eats very healthy.

Olive oil in our house....mild for cooking and extra virgin for salads and dressings etc

Like my lifelong nonsmoking vegetarian barely-40 little sister and colorectal cancer.

Speaking of which ... anybody missed my thread on Chat? ;)

But neither of them seem to be Canola Gins ???

Not to worry - I will stick to the 'unhealthy' butter ..... YYYuuummm !!!

Aint got a Sainsbury close,and I use either Grapeseed or Olive oil to cook with.

But for pastry which I am ace at I use Stork Margerine,the block one.

But I am rubbish at cakes,of any kind,they all sink..

Which thread JC?You have so many...

Would not like to boast - but I do my own organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil from my own olives I pick myself

And I do my own balsamic vinegar

And vintage vinegar


Renes

You are not boasting Renes - you are just very lucky.

When I worked over there in Spain I used to bring back my own olive oil and balsamic vinegar - very cheaply bought but of a very high quality.

I miss that (and so much else!!)

Also the very high quality Cava (equivalent to Champagne) and Rioja 'Reserva' wine for less than £1 per bottle!!

If only I could still travel.!!

Well, I go to Florida (not any more, wouldn't be caught dead, for fear of being caught dead, don't do "red states" these days) ... and come home with a gallon of cheap vodka and drink too much of it and ... they don't call it rotgut for nothing.

Dea

I have to remember that when I am scrabbling on the dirt - picking up my olives one by one - into sacks - whilst Paul is beating the tree with a large stick - don't ask me why but women should not beat the tree - just do the hard work - as usual - scrabbling about


Renes

OOOhhh Janey !!

That sounds 'horrid' !!

You are even worse than me (tee hee!!)

Dea x

Renes, - you have to put big sheets or sacks on the ground, then when OH beats the trees you just have to pick up the sheets and there are the olives, all collected!

Have you not learned that yet??

Dea x

P.S. - How is OH??? and How are you ?? - pm me !!

Dea Xxx

Dea

They do that in Greece and Italy but here it thought to be - commercial- we have to clear under the tree - tread down - it is usually rock hard dirt anyway - sweep it with a reed brush - then beat tree - then collect one by one - I was seen sort of "sweeping " into piles and was told by almost every single person in the village - that was bad - very bad - several times by each person - as is Spanish way over a period of weeks !! - Almonds can be collect in a sheet - but not olives


Will pm you


Renes

Will look forward to reading that in the morning Renes!!

Have to go to bed now but 'grandchild-free day' tomorrow !!!

Nite nite all !!

Will need a BIG breakfast in the morning though, whoever is doing it !!!

Hey T...are you back?

JC, try not to do 'Chat' at is was once a den...although it looks more civilised these days

Tracey

When are you looking after his highness

And when was it you were going to be on Telly

And Hello


And goodbye


Renes

Err...trying to follow Janey and her threads is like trying to....suss out 'Hitler'...


Not that JC is like Hitler...it's 'complexity' I refer to

Know what you mean Ginny - thought I was good with "words" - but spent 10 minutes on Google trying to follow her thought process on Clare Voyants response

I know they say "use it or lose it" - but my brain must be " losing it "


Renes

Ha...for once Friday with me and JB only...hes gone for a

and he's just put Mark Bolan on
