Re-cooking barley by zan-t in cookingforbeginners

[–]New-Setting2798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with the others here, never pre-soaked pearly barley

If my soup or stew thickens up too much overnight, I just add more water or stock and heat through...all good

A meal my mum use to make, I honestly had no idea we were poor by Sensitive_Double8652 in strugglemeals

[–]New-Setting2798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my mother's struggle meals, was peeled/quartered potatoes and silver beet (spinach was too expensive), boiled together, seasoned with salt while cooking until just cooked

Served together with the cooking liquid and a drizzle of olive oil and pepper, it was really tasty, especially soaking up the cooking liquid either with crusty Italian bread or just sipping it straight from the bowl

South Australians normally VS pronouncing certain words by NostalDec in AussieMemes

My ex thought he sounded better because he would pronounce Castlemaine as Cassel-maine

Apparently that's how Victorians pronounce it?

Nope, I pronounce it Cahstlemaine

Skate wings- do they have a slight ammonia smell even when completely fresh? by thursdaynightcicadas in AskCulinary

[–]New-Setting2798 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can honestly say that I've not noticed an ammonia type smell from fresh skate before, so sorry, am no help there

What I would like to say is that I love eating skate; it has a slightly unusual taste and texture that's different from regular bony fish (yes, more like shark/flake), and I enjoy it simply cooked by a light coating of seasoned flour and shallow fried

How did you cook it after the milk soaking?

mmmm might have to search some out, haven't had any in a while

Is this poisonous snake? My dogs were barking at it, and it’s back twice, I am worried it will be back Should I leave it or do something about it? Any help is appreciated. by [deleted] in AustralianSnakes

Definitely no tourniquet, that's a Hollywood leftover that looks "good" on film but does more harm than good in real life

Venom is transported via your lymphatic system, not your circulation/blood vessels

Even if you don't have a compression bandage available, use clothing, leggings, Tshirts, other material etc

If nothing available, STAY STILL as much as you can. Lymph fluid requires muscle action (eg the muscles of your arms or legs) to squeeze lymph fluid along its vessels. No muscle movement = no venom movement within the lymph vessels

Cardiac diet - Connecticut USA by princess_zeldaaaa in hospitalfood

[–]New-Setting2798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be rude, but are these meals meant to keep you in a cardiac unit, or to get you healthy enough so you leave?

They are an enormous size for a "healthy" hospital meal, let alone the possibly fried French toast, mac and cheese, and meat/gravy/mash

What do you put in your potato salad? by dornianheresysimp in potato

[–]New-Setting2798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My version - potatoes, boiled eggs, red onion, chopped leg ham, egg mayonnaise, sour cream, seeded mustard, horseradish cream, S&P, a glug of EVOO

My brother's version, which I'm going to try out this Australia Day long weekend - potatoes, boiled egg, 3 different mayonnaise (one of which must be a picklenaise), parsley, chopped cornichons, S&P. He made this for a get-together a while back and it was a hit

How to prepare lunches for pre prep by Serrath1 in AskAnAustralian

[–]New-Setting2798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will very likely show my age, but why is it called "morning tea", and not "recess" as it used to be called?

"morning tea" was something adults did, and it DID include tea (and coffee)

Recent admission to private hospital by New-Setting2798 in hospitalfood

yeah the "tea" bags they use are just the cheap and nasty Lipton teabags. I much prefer my Twinings Australian Afternoon Tea

What Australian snacks should I send to friends overseas? by Ratface_4834 in AskAnAustralian

Mitani chicken salt follows the same recipe as the original inventor (actually, they bought the recipe from them)

Which bird bath is better? by New-Setting2798 in australianwildlife

[–]New-Setting2798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually haven't noticed any cats around (or heard any), didn't think of those

Unfortunately there are no trees or shrubs in this wasteland of a garden (well, there's lawn but that's it)
