beautiful Day here Jenni... around 18C...

but I guess you dont want to hear that !!!

We have 7 computers. Hubby took old computers and rebuilt them.

Networked pooters don't necessarily pass on the virus. My boss is always getting viruses on his pooter cos he downloads so much free music. But they don't spread to my pooter

its another one that doesn't have a receep... mum just makes them... and I watched and helped since little

Mince, breadcrumbs, egg, meat spices (from Holland), salt, nutmeg,

mum also adds a little french onion soup mix, sometimes oats, and other stuff...

Topp Rola
I didn't notice that we were close or I would have gone for it cos I'm trying to get my 4th place back again, since Julie overtook me.
Rola, no, please don't tell me bout your beautiful Perth weather - it is about 8C here at the moment, & we are expecting wild weather this arvo.

What's in the Dutch spices, Rola - do you know??

My favorite meal growing up was what my mom called minced meat (ground beef boiled in water with dried onion flakes), carrots and potatoes. Nobody I ever met knew what it was and my hubby and his family thought I was crazy eating ground beef that way.

Well, Jenni... you and Chef choose to live in
Canberra.... You mustn't complain now...

Jenni: does not say.. on the container..
Vleeskruiden - meat spices

just looking up Mr Google

Congrats Rola! I didn't even know that we were on the next page! I was so busy typing, reading and keeping an eye on the other computer that I didn't notice!

and not getting very far

No I didn't noticed either.... TOPPS was looming that is.. otherwise, I would have waited for Jenni or Stella to get TOPPs

Nothing is on tv and I am also watching Medical Mysteries at the same time. Some of the stuff is really scary!

watched Desperate Housewifes last night. so did Jenni

Stella, that minced meat dish sounds ...mmm 'interesting'. I'm not sure I've eaten anything like that. Did your mother originate in the States?

Hello all...Birthday lady...hope you have had ablast! Isee there has been much talk about ages..who really cares how old or young you are? We are all the same age here...that's part of the beauty of being here! Birthday list evolved when folks started saying 'ITs my birthday, and folks like Rosemary and Kathy remembered. Last year we all resubmitted birthdates, not ages, and someone made a list. As others added to it, they were added. I think Anne/Albany compiled the list. Many who were on it o longer post regularly, but often ae remembered Yes, I am the old lady of the group at 71, and my birthday i May 23. We are blessed to see each day ,so I celebrate each with the reverance it deserves.....Miz T Happy , Happy To You, and Many more!! Glad the BIL is on the mend! Party weekend...at Miz T'S

That's one show I never got into. I don't know why, but hubby watches it.

Yep, Desperate Housewives - quite funny last night. Also watched a new English show called Torchwood, which is from the makers of Doctor Who. In fact Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who (read that somewhere). It looks interesting.

Morning Mama.. long time no chat

I taped Touchwood Jenni. watched brothers and sisters after desperate

No, my family is from Ireland. We moved here a couple of months before I was born. My mom was not a cook but cooking the meat that way went further for the 10 of us and it turned out like a stew. We got our meat from a butcher so it was much better meat then what you might get in the supermarket here today.

Hi Mamacita, yes you're right that is the beauty of this site, no preconcieved ideas about someone according to how they look.

Hi Mama, it is nice to see you here!

my mum is not a good cook either.. but there are somethings she is good at....
soup
Koek - Dutch Spice Loaf - which I do have a receep for - and is yum..
meatballs
Hachee - Onion Stew
...

Stella, I thought it sounded like it didn't originate in the States. Wow, 10 siblings Stella, that is a big family.
Rola, I watched Brothers & sisters in the beginning then missed a few & so haven't got back into it - let me know what you think of Torchwood

might watch it during my lunch Jenni.. did you like it...

Rola, I googled the Dutch Spices - got lots of sites in Dutch, but found a site where I can buy it (which I don't think I'll do, by the way). They didn't say what was in it.
Asked Mr Wikipedia if he knew what spices are in it, but he'd never heard of it

Rola, I thought it looked like it has promise - if you like alien fantasy type shows

yes , that is what I found Jenni, lots of places to buy, but not what is in it...

yes, like the non fiction...

maybe the boys might join me for lunch, they will probably like it...

just leting everyone know next TOPP #8881.. looming up fast

CPing ??

Jenni, 4 brothers, 3 sisters, me and mom and dad back then. Now add spouses, 19 nieces and nephews, 3 great-niece/nephews + one on the way and my 4 kids. I have a fairly large family.

...

I think it will appeal to the boys, Rola. Have you or they watched either of the 2 latest series of Dr Who?? Cos if they're into that they will like Torchwood

my mum is one of 7..........

Christmas must be expensive in your family Stella

Is Torchwood an Aussie show that is new?

6.30pm is not a good time to be watching. so no the boys haven't seen the lastest Dr Who.. I see it is coming back soon on Channel 2..
