Tulip's Kitchen: Tagged...AGAIN!!!

Oh no - I've been tagged again! This time by Jan

Jan has a great blog so go on over and have a look!

I have to say 6 random things about myself......I hope you can stay awake while reading it...but hey, here goes!

1 - I always paint my toes nails red!

2 - I only ever wear M & S underwear

3 - I take a size 3 shoe

4 - I have lived in 16 different houses in my life.

5 - I have 3 part time jobs instead of 1 full time one and I love them all!

6 - If I could go back and enjoy my babies again I would...they are all grown up and I miss them being small.

What you do now:
Write 6 Random things about yourself.
Link to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on the blog.
Tag six people at the end of your post and let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Let the tagger know when your entry is done.
Here are my 6:

Marie from "A year at oak cottage"

Angie from "Stressed out Mum seeks inspiration"

Sylvie from "A pot of Tea and a Biscuit"

Nic from "Cherrapeno"

Chris from Raving of a misplaced Geordie

Sue from back to the table

This started out as a place for all those recipes on scraps of paper...

...the photocopies, my barbie folder, the crumpled napkins, the hastily scribbled notes, you know the sort of thing! But it has turned into so much more!
I now show all my pampered chef recipes, along with all my wheat free, IPD (Idiot Proof Diet) recipes along with anything I find off the IPD forum. I've even cooked up recipes for others as they'd like to see the dish made before attempting it. I'm open to suggestions but please remember that this was started as a personal project, I'm not a photographer, I don't get paid for it, its just for fun!

Feel free let me know if you have any questions or you need a recipe that I haven't posted or indeed any corrections. This is usually done very early in the morning when I've just woke up or very late at night when i should be asleep...you get the picture!!!

There is a 'translate this page' button at the bottom of the page should you need it, although it doesn't include translating my North East slang...sorry :-P

Tulips Fridge Door - What the magnets say...

A balanced diet…A chocolate in each hand
Complaints about this kitchen can cause serious damage to your health
Dull women have immaculate houses
I can’t be creative as well as tidy.
If you haven’t got wrinkles, you haven’t laughed enough.
It’s not alcohol that gives you a hangover, it’s waking up!
I’m smiling because you’re my sister, I’m laughing because there’s nothing you can do about it.
Living life to my husbands credit limit
Many people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on to live healthy lives.

Cooking Tips

* Keep turning pork chops over, don't let the moisture cook out of them. Cook only till pink then let them finish off while resting, this way you won't over cook them.

* To test to see if an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cold, salted water. If it sinks, it's fresh. If it floats, throw it away!!

* Get yourself a bunch of fresh corinader, wash and trim the stems. Dry on paper towels then put in individual freezer snack bags. Freeze. When you need some fresh coriander just get a pack from the freezer, crush or chop and add to your recipe.

* Use a pizza cutter to cut bars or tray bakes into nice, smooth squares.

* To keep cauliflower white while cooking - add a little milk to the water.

* Microwave a lemon for 15 seconds and double the juice you get before squeezing.

* To remove egg shells from a batter, use the remaining shell to attract the piece.

* If you need only 1/2 an onion, save the root half. It will last longer.

* One pound of all purpose flour is the equivalent to 4 cups.

* When using rice, remember that 1 cup of uncooked long-grain white rice makes 3 cups cooked.
