Thank you for such a generous comment. Do you know someone who has been there?
I look forward to seeing some recipes from you.

To everyone.

Would it be a good idea to give hints or adaptations that anyone has done when trying these recipes because then we may have genuine NEW RECIPES...hope that makes sense.

Your veg dish sounds tasty, I am going to try that, any more veggie dishes....

OK can we try again please???

What is you favourite three course meal was the original question to which I think we had the wonderful result of NIL. So here we go again.

IF you could invite 4 people to dinner who would they be and what would you serve. If you are feeling really good you may also say what wine etc you may have.

I will not post first as I want to see what happens and leave it to your imagination...IF there are no replies by later today or tomorrow then I will try to get the ball rolling....SHHHHHHH now you know why I have the name BB

Have fun everyone

Bridget

Bridget

Thanks for all your time and effort in this, and if the reciepie's do get printed and raise money for our boy's abroad Well I take my hat of to you for doing something

Thanks for doing something and if it dont happen at least it is a good Thread where people are adding usefull reciepe's Which is a bonus to anyone who reads it

All the best

To Everyone

I have sent an email to a lady called Karen at SSAFA asking for advice and support. She is not in her office until next Monday so will keep you all informed. Meanwhile I am sure that if we simply state if a recipe is an adapted version passed down the family or from friend to friend etc, or if it is directly from a book I believe that will be sufficient BUT i am not a legal bod!!!


Bridget

Thanks Bridget

Yes it does make sense in what you said

Thanks for the reply

A very sensible question. I understand that if any recipe is directly coppied from a book or magazine permission must be sought, theref or I recommend that anyone either asks for permission or if they have actuall cooked the dish and made some changes then they explan that in the message.

Does this make sense. After all most recipes will have started somewhere...

I will chesk the lagalities when I speak to the possible sponsor which will not be until early October. If I hear before then I will put another message on here.


However, I hoe this does not stop people from contributing because IF we cannot do what I first thought of then at least it has got us all recommending and chatting


Hope this makes sense

Bridget

Hi everyone

right as Bridget is thinking of having these recipie's printed to make money for our boy's overseas which is a great idea.

I have a few marinade recipie's which are good from a book

Can I put them on ? or if I change the wording will that be ok ?

As I dont wont any problems in the future if they are printed

Sorry if this question is a bit silly but I thought I would ask


Deb K

Hello everyone.

If you have tried any of the recipes, would you be kind enough to give some feedback and include anything that may improve them. We need to know what has worked well and been enjoyed as well as any failures.

Many thanks

Bridget

Marilyn

How did the toms onions and garlic go down ?

Ive been thinking about, it hope it turned out ok and you no my how to do it was not that good

Deb xx

No problem Bridget, know what you mean about varifocals. My spell checker is picking up the spelling mistakes, pity I didn't notice my own in my last post Lol1!!! Know what you mean about Spanish keyboards, when in Tenerife I used wendy's and it is really strange,

Hi Ann in Glos

Thank you for checking the spelling, it isn't that I can't spell, but am using a Spanish Computer and key board. This means that everything is not where I expect it to be. Also I get carried away and type as fast as I can and try to look at the monitor, quickly glance at what I have written, post it and then see the mistakes.

Sometimes I alter them sometimes I miss them, "blame the vari focals for that" and sometimes I just leave them.
my apologies and will try harder.

Good idea about the number of people per dish.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Bridget

Bridget, spellin errors corrected in the copy.

I love Whitebait but wouldn't cook it at home because of the smell!!!

I have noticed that many of the recipes don't say for how many people. If we did get these into a book we should maybe correct that.

Would you believe, that my maternal ancestors came from Killala, County Mayo.

My favourites are the Nederburg wines which are really good.



Val in SA.

There are some spelling errors in my last entry, please forgive!

If you came from an Irish background you would know what a wonderful drink a good Guiness is. BUT a bad Guiness is AWFUL!!!

I enjoy wine as well, do you drink only south african, can your recommend any?
