Is there something that can do the reverse, as in retards plant growth? I dun want my money plant to trail the corridor, and the pomegranate plant to become a tree.Originally posted by the Bear:for those who grow plants in the house and actually bother to remove the roots from the bean sprouts...
blend the roots with some water and use the water on your plants.. the roots contain some kinda plant growth thingy like a hormone which will make your plants grow a lot better

Re: chicken meat and bird flu
My mom was told and she knows. But still insists on "keeping safe"
Good point on the eggshell though , her efforts may be misplaced :p -
The eggshell thingy was thought of by one of my ward sisters when we were discussing bird flu one day.Originally posted by choco B:the Bear and Rhonda

We're now on Code Green Alert but Singapore's not expected to be hit with any cases until maybe, Feb-Mar 2006. No idea how they make such predictions since air travel and migratory birds kinda stack the odds against us.

chickens are probably lower-risk as they are tested and if one is found to be positive, the whole lot of chickens are culled...
however, i'm worried about birdcrap on the car.. who knows which bird out there is infected? -
Yeah... my colleagues and I were saying that maybe, car owners need to put latex gloves and mediwipes in their cars to handle the birdbombs!Originally posted by the Bear:chickens are probably lower-risk as they are tested and if one is found to be positive, the whole lot of chickens are culled...

It's more complicated than that...read 'From Porridge To Pizza' at the website I posted.Originally posted by borgkilla:interesting how the angmoh govts are poisoning their own kids

When I was in Upper Sec, I dreamed of working in a few occupations, one of which was a Chef cum Dietitian!
I still hope to enroll in a culinary school for a proper course someday.
Hopefully, will marry a food lover too so we can go on one of those holiday cum short cookery cert course package! They have those schools in Europe and the US!

Who knows, you might run into Ian Hewitson ('Never Trust A Skinny Cook') or Kylie Kwong while you're in Oz.Originally posted by Rhonda:I still hope to enroll in a culinary school for a proper course someday.

The latter uses too much oil in her cooking IMO though.
Or you could start a cookbook library. -
I already have a huge cookbook library!Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Who knows, you might run into Ian Hewitson ('Never Trust A Skinny Cook') or Kylie Kwong while you're in Oz. The latter uses too much oil in her cooking IMO though.
Or you could start a cookbook library. It's scary how huge it is! -
I mean one from which people can actually loan from.Originally posted by Rhonda:I already have a huge cookbook library! It's scary how huge it is! -
And subject my precious cookbooks to possible theft and damage?Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I mean one from which people can actually loan from. 
Nooo!! No way!!
Sorry, but this collection's precious to me and I'd like to keep it intact and complete. -
food....i like.....
cooking mah....i reserved that to the chief. -
Yo, kops!
There's actually a sort of satisfaction that one can derive from cooking. It's also aesthetic and a form of relaxation for some.
I love to cook for close friends because you can cook with love. Every single step of food preparation and cooking, you're thinking of cooking for people near and dear to you.
Can't wait to cook for my SO next time! -
i know the feeling, but my cooking skill have stay where it is 20years ago.Originally posted by Rhonda:Yo, kops!

Now there's a Gordon Ramsey. Dunno if you have heard of him. I liked the series Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Can try downloading. He basically tries to revive failing restaurants, sometimes with success sometimes not.Originally posted by Rhonda:Come to think of it, the Brits often come up with interesting concepts for cooking shows.
They have the Two Fat Ladies, where yup, you literally get two fat ladies travelling around sometimes on their motorbikes, cooking classic (and sometimes very fatty) traditional English food.
Then, there was Cooking with Nancy, where the protagonist was this flambouyant ex-Singaporean lady with flaming red hair and bold glass frames who married an African guy and opened her own restaurant in UK.
Jamie Oliver, Ainsley, Bobby Flay, Delia Smith and a few other chefs regularly appear on shows on BBC too.
And then, there's Nigella Lawson, she of the 'How To Eat' and 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' cookbooks fame. She's pretty popular amongst the guys because she's beautiful and sensuous. Widowed not too long ago too, so maybe, she's the fantasy woman for many a guy!
Amazing guy. Has a face that looks like the surface of the moon, has a manner not unlike an ex-footballer (which he is), yet he is actually a michelin starred chef!
Annother great food series is Rick Stein French Odyssey. -
How the hell do you get Prawn Mee in london? The chinese takeaways basically serve variation of one dish: Chow Mein. --> Singapore Chow Mein (which i have never heard of in Singapore), Chicken Chow Mein, Beef Chowmein, Special Chowmein, ad nauseum.Originally posted by HENG@:varies between prawn mee, chicken flavoured instant mee with added chicken slices and egg, pancakes, grilled pork chops, or something else i fancy cooking. -
everything I mentioned? I cook it myself. THATS how.Originally posted by lwflee:How the hell do you get Prawn Mee in london?

Oh yes!! Definitely have heard of them! In fact, I was trying to remember Gordon Ramsey's name because he is regularly featured in BBC's Good Food mag.Originally posted by lwflee:Now there's a Gordon Ramsey. Dunno if you have heard of him.

Annother great food series is Rick Stein French Odyssey. He has spiky hair, right?
Rick Stein, yup! Heard of him too! I think he has a book 'Rick Stein's Seafood', or something like that!
Over in Australia, there's Kelly Kwong, Jill Duplex, Donna Hay and hmm... what's his name... Bill Granger? *scratches head...
Man, my memory's failing these days!
But hey, lwflee, sounds like you love cooking and food too! Great to meet yet another new friend with the same likes!
