My Bood Flog...


SPEED! Watch them fingers!
(Illustration Friday)


Has anyone tried any of the dishes in Bood Flog? The latest is Fish Tagine... Muy delicioso, queridos!
If you have tried any of the recipes, please let me know whether they were easy to make.
I believe cooking shouldn't be complicated especially with all the kitchen gadgets available.
I also use a pressure cooker for speed especially for soups.

Can't remember the last time I made it but it was very simple to make.


Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I cooked for myself.
Two slices of brown toast this morning! That's it!

DC, do that! I'm sure it'll turn out ok!
Cherry, let me know how it comes out!
Wendy, can't believe you don't like fish! But at least you'll eat it if it's SUPERBLY cooked for you.
Can't wait for your verdict.
What's wv: sexy hand?

I wish I could chop things that fast. I've cooked your lamb tagine and very nice it was too. I noticed in your Chorba soup recipe one ingredient is dried mint. Is dried mint preferable to fresh mint in that recipe?

I am really glad you enjoyed the Tagine, Julie.
My mother always used dried mint. I am sure that you're able to use fresh but you'd need to put twice the quantity.
You'll have to send me your favourites recipes to post on the blog.

Val, chefs are always slicing their fingers, so I thought it would be funny.

Wendy, you had me puzzled and hooked now.
I won't let a WV go without a bit of a make-over. Shame this one looks like a Polish word!

Not yet, no, I haven't tried them as yet, I'll have to leave out the meat too.

Janet, don't worry, the dishes won't go away. Enjoy if you can and share your own recipes!

Gigi, as I said you can omit the meat from all the recipes. Do you eat fish?
No, I don't have beans very often. Not my cup of tea.

I've always been amazed at how quickly professional chefs chop food. Perfect for the theme!

I've been reading and salivating over the recipes, when high season is over I have plans to try some of them.
On another note: In Belize women refer to a man's hmmhmm as his carrot. You're looking pretty slap happy there with that knife chop chop ouch!
I just couldn't pass that one up.

Andrea, and they go through vast quantities of blue plasters if they're not careful!

Lee, I love it! I will never chop another carrot without tears in my eyes (tears of Belizian laughter!)

Hayden, steamed cauliflower! Nothing wrong with that as long it's nicely seasoned!

Yes, I do eat fish and shrimps and prawns. And I loved lobster when I lived in Jamaica, we don't have it here.

When did you start that blog? You have some great looking receipes there - I am almost all vegetarian, but i do eat fish from time to time. I love this illo...I'm glad he's paying attention while slicing that carrot so swiftly:>

Gigi, I'm sure that there are Guyanese shellfish just as tasty as lobster! I could live on fish and shellfish!

Carla, started it a couple of weeks ago! It was a quick illo but chefs have to watch out when they're slicing their "carrots"

Penny, who wants to cook all the time! In fact I enjoy it better when someone else is cooking.
Green or white cabbage soup can be really nice with a few fennel seeds and paprika, salt and pepper. A squeeze of lemon.
Get David to try some of our recipes and then you won't mind him taking over the kitchen.
