[Aneklusmos]

This is my best recipe i dont have exact instructions or amounts cause my mom taught me how to make it

Guacamole:
2-3 Avacados
1-2 1/4in slices of onion
2-4 cloves of garlic
Salsa
Cilantro
Lime Juice

Start by cutting open the avocados, de-pitting them and putting the flesh of the avocados into a bowl. Once they're all in the bowl, mash them until its just one big mash. Leave is and get out a food processor. Put the garlic cloves and onion slices into the food processor. Cover it and turn it on until everything is finely chopped. Now, without removing anything, add in a big plop of salsa. Use more or less salsa depending on how spicy you want it. This goes for the garlic and onion too. Add a sprinkling of cilantro too. Now turn the food processor on again and wait until everything else is finely chopped. Now take the contents of the food processor and put them in with the avocado. Now mix it all around. Then add a few cap fulls of lime juice and stir it in. smooth over the top of it all and thinly cover the top. This will keep everything from turning brown. Ready to serve whenever. Makes enough for 3-5 people.

Have fun with this! Experiment with different amounts, ingredients, etc.

HOW TO MAKE TOFFEE

Ingredients:

2 sticks of butter
1/2 Cups of sugar
1/2 cup of Warm water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cookingthermometor(the thing with a red ball) Do not use a regular thermometor, it will break.

Melt both sticks of butter in a pot. When they are nearly melted, mix in the sugar, water and salt and mix. Make sure the flame is on high, and let it sit for about 30 seconds and mix. (I suggest adding another half a cup of sugar because the end product will be quite a mess). Keep doing this until the thermometor reachs 245(left hand side). Once it hits that point, mix constantly until it hit 295. Remove instantly and QUICKLY add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and mix quickly. After that, poor out onto a cookie pan covered with WAX PAPER. It should come out like a big glob if done correctly. After you pour it, spread it out to make it as even as possible. It hardens very very quickly (if you didn't add the extra 1/2 cup of sugar, you will get excess butter as it hardens, and will have to pour it out into the sink or something), so you have to be fast. (At this point, if you want, you can put some candy chocolate over it to melt, and use the back side of a spoon to spread it. I personally like toffee plain, but its up to you.) Let it sit for about 30 minutes in a cool place (like the refrigorator) and then remove. Break it up into pieces and enjoy home made toffee

I'll probably edit this if i see something wrong, but i am for sure i got everything right.

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in diced tomatoes and green onion; cook and stir until the tomatoes have softened. Stir onion mixture into the tomatoes, then add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in mussels and shrimp, then pour in the wine and lemon juice. Cover and increase heat to high. Cook until shrimp have turned pink and mussels have opened, discarding any that have not opened. Serve over pasta and garnish with lemon wedges.

Ingredients
1 pound dry spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, cubed or sliced into small strips
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped



Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.

Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.

good but try mixing sour cream with it 1 tray of avo's = 4 cups of sour cream use that as a guide

[JessicaUK]

Pancakes xD (makes enough for about 8)

4 oz Flour
2 eggs
pinch of salt
7 oz milk mixed with 3 oz water
2 x tablespoons butter

Put the flour into a bowl and break eggs in. Gently whisk and add the milk/water combination slowly until you have a thin paste. Make sure all the flour is whisked properly and don't leave any on the edge of the bowl.

Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan and add to the paste mixture. Blend together and whisk until all smooth.

Use a non-stick pan and coat it with butter, but not too much. Bring it to quite a high temperature then add an amount of the mixture enough to cover the base of the pan but not too thick.

After it has started to cook add brown sugar and lemon to taste. Turn pancake upside down and cook other side for a little while making sure you don't burn it.

Serve on plate and devour. Yum. :P
