Has anyone else made/tried these? They seem to be all the rage around here. I just made some last night and they're OK. They don't come close to the rich, moist, fudgy texture of brownies you make from a mix, like Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines etc. but they're not bad for a healthy alternative. I used Splenda in place of the sugar, to keep the carbs low.
Any way to improve on the recipe? I don't really bake so I can't think of anything.

I was reading a fairly brief reply in this month's 'Olive' (a food mag by the BBC) in which wine expert Victoria Moore noted: Wine under screw cap can sometimes suffer from a problem known as reduction...can make it smell of burnt rubber, or like a just-struck match, or faintly metallic with a loss of fruity smell.
I had noticed, albeit rarely, something like this in a few wines with screw caps but put it down to my imagination and prejudice against screw caps. Hitherto, I have conceded that my…

Hey there!
In the Netherlands stamppot is a very traditional dish, maybe you know that already. Here are some of my recipes, it depends on the season what veggie is used, but i can be made from almost all vegetables. And... It is easy to make.
Always use 50% potatoes and 50% vegetables. First clean potatoes and vegetables. Cook potatoes and vegetables, then mix up and mash with some butter or oil. Add pepper and salt, ready! You can add some bacon for more taste, but it is not necessary.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with cosmopolitans.
I tried making one with the official recipe I found off of the internet but it tasted too strong on the vodka and lemon (you’re supposed to make them with lime but it doesn’t make a great deal of difference).
This is how I do them:
1 shot cheap vodka (the expensive stuff is an absurd scam)
1 shot Cointreau
Half a shot lemon juice
2 shots cranberry juice
After you’ve mixed the ingredients, pour them into a big container with some ice cubes…
So I bought a slow cooker - a Sunbeam 3.5 litre. So, what are your favourite (and best) recipes for slow cookers? I'd like some for beef, chicken, pork and lamb. I've seen some recipes and they say serves (for example) 6 - 8, or 8 - 10.
Now with ordinary recipes, it's easy to decrease (or increase) the quantities, but how do I do this with slow cooker recipes? I had thought it would be simple - just halve everything for example, but then realised that probably wouldn't work. Do use less…
I was reading a cookbook published in the UK and ran into "nibbed almonds," something I've never heard of. (I first rad it a "nibbLed almonds," which was even more startling.)
The BBC defines nibbed almonds as
>These are specially prepared skinned almonds cut into pieces about 2mm square and the length of the nut, shaped like nibs. They’re mostly used for decoration.
That's what I would call "blanched, diced almonds."
