Ask the Next Poster a Question...

Not for a while, probably from a similar child related incident.

Why isn't there an ironing fairy?

Rain, then a bit more rain, then some more rain, oh and then we had some rain ....

Are you ever in a bad mood for no apparent reason?

No, actually it was different, now the little boyo is not so little, kind of getting my life back more. So although it was fun with him 10 years ago, having different fun now.

What is the most fun you've had this week?

You should eat one at a time to savour each one. Pringles have a special ingredient in them that makes you eat the whole packet in one go, even if you are feeling sick.

It's not fair, I want to go to bed, but no allowed until hubby gets to sleep, should I sit and view the thread 'pics where eddie looks hot' for a while or switch to 'pics where Mr Snuggleton looks hot'?

I was just over there. You should check out the pics where Eddie looks hot. They've added some good ones
and a scary one. It's not really Eddie though.

Thing I miss the most? Not having to think about others ALL the time...when you have kids, especially when you are doing it on your own....you have to think about how things will affect them...with EVERYTHING you do...I miss being able to only worry about me...and stuff the consequences!


What should I cook for dinner tonight?

mousaka
Ingredients: 1 kilo / 2 pounds potatoes, 2 pounds eggplants, 1/2 kilo ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, 1 cup tomatoes from a can, a small can of tomato sauce, 1/2 glass white or red wine, 1 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, Salt, pepper, a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg.

For the topping: 1-liter milk/2 pints, 1-cup flour 1/2 cup of olive oil, 2 eggs, Grated cheese (Emmenthal OK).

Wash the eggplants and slice them in 1/4" slices. Place them on a plate with some salt on each slice. Peel the potatoes, slice them in 1/4" thick slices and fry them in olive oil. Take them out of the frying pan when they are half way done and set them aside. Use the same olive oil to fry the eggplants half way like the potatoes. Take them out of the frying pan when they are half way done and set them aside on paper towels to absorb some of the olive oil.

Fry the onion in the oil till brown, add the ground beef, wait 10 minutes while stirring, and add the wine, tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, salt, pepper and cinnamon, and then add 1/2 cup of water. When the water is absorbed, remove from heat, and add the grated cheese.

In a saucepan bring three cups of milk to boil, mix the flour with the remaining cup and pour stirring constantly, making a thick paste - if too thick, add milk, if too thin, add some more flour. Remove from heat, and add the two eggs (whole eggs beaten) and the nutmeg.

Butter a baking pan, and put the sliced halfway fried potatoes in it at bottom, forming a single layer. Cover with the meat mixture. Add a layer of eggplants and then cover with the contents of the saucepan (topping). Bake at 350 Degrees F for about one hour. When the topping turns 80% brown, serve cool.

Note: If you don't like eggplants, you can replace them with a layer of potatoes or omit them all together.
