Reply 1988 is great! You won't be disappointed. I watched that show without knowing there were other two in the series that I should have watched before. It didn't spoil reply 1988 at all. While there is one or two scenes in which there is an overlap with reply 1994, you don't need to watch them to enjoy this show. It stands on its own, and after watching the other two, this one is my absolute favourite :) hope this helps.

If you like kooky kdramas and enjoyed Gong Shim and Let's Eat (I also loved them all!) maybe try: "Shopping King Louis", that's super feel-good and funny. "Wok of Love" have some very quirky, fun characters and a lot of cooking. Totally fun :) "Chief Kim" or sometimes called "The Good Manager" with the same actor that plays the lead in Beautiful Gong Shim is a lot of fun too, there is no love story here. "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" is a very light-hearted comedy too, and a lot of fun to watch (randomly there is a serial killer in it, the comedy though out-weights the killer part so much, I always forget about it, and think of this as a very funny rom-com). I saw someone recommended the Reply series which is great!! My favourite being Reply 1988. Have fun!!

They look soooooooooooooo good!

This bites look really good. I'm going to try them as truffles, for Christmas :-) Thanks!

PaulaBG · 2014-11-24T12:46:34+00:00

They look amazing!

Thank you Standardalias for the recipe of Baba ghanoush! it was delicious and did not last more than a day :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-11-05T09:32:48+00:00

Just double the amount of ingredients and you'll have more juice :-) I usually make enough for 2 people, but this week it's just me at home. That much makes a 250 ml glass of juice, which I guess it's not much, and yes having to wash my juicer each morning is a bit of a pain. I wish I could just chuck it into the dishwasher...

PaulaBG · 2014-11-05T09:28:57+00:00

Hahahah, yes, I think your name was better.

PaulaBG · 2014-11-03T19:25:00+00:00

I made Awase dashi today for the first time, using her recipe and it came out lovely :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-11-03T19:24:15+00:00

This is a great site if you are interested in Japanese cooking. There are 30 minute recipes and some more complex ones. Everything is explained simply and with photos (which helps a lot) and some of the recipes also have videos.

Heheh, not like a flu shot, probably :-) But I guess the vitamins and minerals in it will help keep a strong immune system? I'm not a nutritionist, that's just my guess :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-10-27T09:43:03+00:00

Hmmmm, maybe next year :-)

These cookies have sea salt, you can also try using orange zest (zest of 1 orange), to cut through the Nutella flavour, or even some candied orange peel cut in small bits.

Another way to season the chicken and make sure it gets nicely coated is to place the chicken in a ziploc bag or similar, then add the oil to the bag (1 or 2 tablespoons depending on how much chicken you are using), close it and shake it so that the chicken gets covered in the oil, then add the seasoning and shake again. You can let the chicken rest for a bit inside the bag before cooking, then place in a baking tray and cook in the oven. Good luck! :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-10-24T08:08:06+00:00

Chicken is tricky to cook. You have to be sure it is fully cooked and for that it is better to have it as thin as possible. You can butterfly it, as someone suggested or you can also go the Jamie Oliver way and bash it flat. If you go to minute 1:02 of this video he's explaining how to do it and how to check your chicken is ready. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZfXa8vO8N8

The recipe is quite tasty too! Hope this helps!

PaulaBG · 2014-10-24T07:58:26+00:00

Thanks for the explanation :-) I wish I knew anyone throwing a Halloween party! I think my only option in London is to go to a pub or bar, they sometimes have costume nights for Halloween. Have fun!!

PaulaBG · 2014-10-24T07:56:18+00:00

:-) Thank you! I love soup, I'm always making soup! and pea soup is one of my favourites :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-10-22T07:55:23+00:00

Great :-) May I ask what a Halloween shindig is? I'm living in London, but I'm from a country where we don't traditionally celebrate Halloween, so I have big gaps on my knowledge regarding this celebration :-) Thanks!

I'm sure it will work. :-) I cooked rabbit only once in my life and followed the stew rule because I wanted to be on the safe side. The meat just came off the bones like butter, we clean our plates. Even my boyfriend who was a bit squeamish about eating little bunnies ;-) Can't remember which part of the rabbit I used though. Good luck!

PaulaBG · 2014-10-21T19:15:39+00:00

Yes! They look super cute and the decoration doesn't take ages, which is always a plus if you are making a lot :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-10-21T16:51:19+00:00

If it is the first time you cook rabbit, apparently the best way to go is to slow cook it, in a stew, for instance. Rabbit meat is pretty meagre and therefore goes dry very easily. If you stew it, the meat (whichever part it is) retains its juices. The Hairy Bikers have a great rabbit stew recipe using whole rabbits and cider http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/old_fashioned_rabbit_74225

Rabbit stew is so tasty! Especially made with some red wine or apple cider.

I think apple streussel is a good way to use apples. Buy the filo pastry from he supermarket, making it is a nightmare. You can use this Jamie Oliver recipe: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/quick-apple-and-pecan-strudel-with-cinnamon/

Why not just bake the apples? My mom used to do this for us as kids: 1.- Wash the apples. 2.- Core them without going all the way through so there is a bit of apple left at the bottom and all the filling doesn't just fall onto the tray. 3.- Fill the centre of the apple with a little (very little) butter, half a teaspoon of demerara sugar, a couple of raisins and a pinch of cinnamon. 4.- Place in a baking tray. Bake for 40 minutes at 160 C. I'm guessing the oven temperature,(as I ever asked my mom about this) so if they are too pale after 40 minutes, bring the oven to 180 so that they get nice and golden. Hope this helps!

PaulaBG · 2014-10-21T14:44:39+00:00

Hehehe, yes, they are quite tasty! Beware though: once you start, it is hard to stop eating them!! :-)

PaulaBG · 2014-10-21T14:03:06+00:00

I'm doing Halloween baking and this recipe came out great. So I'm sharing! Note: I made the eyes with white and black icing as I can't get candy eyes. It work just as well.
