I believe this is my first post in here.

Anyway, I was doing some random web surfing and came upon an article about a plant known as Stevia (Sweetleaf) located here. After doing some research on it in Wiki I have come to the conclusion that I would like to try this, my first question is has anyone else tried it and is it sweeter than actual sugar? Also, if anyone has tried it, do you know how easy it is to buy the stuff, and what would be a good price for it. As I'm not a gardener would you recommend that I just buy the stuff all ready processed, or should I try to grow it myself even though it seems to be a difficult plant to work with.

Nasi Goreng a la Arkan:

pre-cooked rice

2/3 Sausages (any Kind)

2 Eggs (1 if you want)

3 Chicken Nuggets
 
1 Chicken (Wing) (Additional)
 
1 Tablespoon tomato Ketchup
 
1/2 Tablespoon Chilli Sauce (Sambal) (Bottled) or 1/2 Tablespoon Sambal Ulek
 
1/2 Tablespoon sweet soy sauce
 
1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper
 
1/2 Tablespoon of Saus Tiram (In English: English sauce if I'm not forgotten, anyway that's a sauce made up from a paste that oysters produce if i'm not forgotten much)
 
1/4 Tbsp. of Fried Onion / 4 Garlic Rings
 
1 Teaspoon of Salt
 
 
Cooking Steps:
 
Cook the rice, roast the Chicken Wing (Additional), Scramble 1 Egg and fry the other (this is for 2 Eggs, for 1 Egg; scramble it). Cut the Sausages into small pieces.
 
Fry the rice in the pan, let about 2 Mins., add the Sauces (Sambal, Tomato Ketchup, Soy Sauce and Saus Tiram). Mix it with the rice until the rice colors red-brownish.
 
Add Salt. Then Add the Chichken, Egg, and Sausages, Fry for about 3 Mins. Take it out from the Pan.
 
Add Fried Onions or Garlic Ring and Pepper and the Fried Nuggets. Yummy!!
 
NB: It's a pity you're not in Indonesia. Here, there is a "Royco Sauce" (Maybe there is in Asia but maybe not in Europe) which can make it taste better.
 
This is very delicious for Indonesian '"food tongue", I don't know how it taste for other "food tongue"
 
SECRET: This is a Family Legacy Recipe in my family.
 
NOTE: There can be also 1 Variable to change it for small snacks or for fast cooking or if you don't have any more food:
 
INGREDIENTS:
Same but remove Chicken, egg, Nuggets, Pepper, Fried Onions/Garlic Ring and Saus Tiram (As a subtituer of Saus Tiram, use additioning-taste sauces (Taste-Addition Sauce).

Have you guys heard of Hebrew honeycake? We made it recently for my dad's birthday and again near Hannukah. It's like marble cake, but it's spongey and is covered in honey. The honey seeps slowley to the middle of the cake, so the longer you leave it, the dryer it gets on the outside and the wetter on the inside

Humitas:

The "tamales" of South America. Traditional amerindian food, very popular from Ecuador to Argentina. It is one of our more authentic local dishes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Humitas - South American Tamales

Recipe  1¼ hours | 10 min prep
A cousin of tamales from a collection of American Indian recipes Ingredients

Directions

  1.  
    Cut corn off the cobs, saving cobs and husks.
  2.  
    Take the largest husks, put into a pan of boiling water to soften.
  3.  
    Heat the butter in a pan, add the onion, and cook until soft.
  4.  
    Add salt and pepper, and sugar and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
  5.  
    Add the corn, milk and eggs and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6.  
    Remove the husks from the water and dry.
  7.  
    Place 3 tablespoons of the corn mixture on the center of each husk.

Well heck! Since "redclay" has stated in the past that I am wont to say a lot, but not be able to prove it!

I thought I would send to each of you an(a) old "Southern" recepie for a dish that most Americans, at least, love to eat, and live to eat!

It is but a variation upon the old favorite "Mac and Cheese!", but it has its variation! First of all, do not use thick "mac", instead use thin spagetti!

So, to start, take a regular package of spagetti or spagettini, or vermicelli, or any thin pasta, necessary to feed your family or to make a side dish!

It must be noted that this dish is just as good as a cold side dish as it is as a main portion of a warm/hot dish! So, please consider how you might well want to use it?

Note, that I am age 63 and I have eaten this dish all of my life, and my mother (God rest her soul)_supposedly ate a variation of this dish all of her life! So, it seems it was something of a family tradition!

So, first, considering how much of this food you need, boil the pasta to some point a little less than al-dente'! Then set it aside!

For the rest of ingrediants;

A package of Saltine crackers!

Shreaded cheese or hunks of Velveeta cheese- you want a cheese that will melt to a velvet consistincy when warm or hot, but will solidify if cold! Your taste is everything!

A pint of heavy whipping cream or more! It all depends upon the size of your desire.

One stick of salted butter!

Note, if you like Italian, you might also have about 4oz. or more of sliced pepperoni and/or Italian ham/ and / or some Italian sausage! You really do not want the meat to overpower the cheesy taste!

Of course any meat that you think would go the best with your choice of cheese will determine the final taste of this dish!

Take a deep porcelin dish, any size you deem necessary to make the required amount of final product, etc.

Take your under cooked pasta, and began to layer it into a buttered dish! That is, place a layer of pasta, and then a layer of your cheese, and then a some pats of butter, and then a layer of the meat(s) of your choice! Then crush a bunch of Saltine Crackers, in your hands or in a dish, and also layer them across the dish!

Repeate until you almost fill the deep dish!

Then add the very rich whipping cream to the dish almost to the brim, well make it about an inch or so from it!

Sorry, I had a long period from which I first started this receipe, unitil the great finish! That is, my wife and I went out to eat Mexican!

But, to continue the programme, '

After layering the ingrediants, you should place your high sided glass deep dish into a pre-heated oven at 350%F, for about 30 minutes!

Then place your oven to "broil" and broil the top of this dish until the small spagetties that might exist on the top, turn a golden brown!

Then, let the dish stay in the hot oven for about 10 minutes, and then remove to a secluded place, like the oven for your micro-wave! And, covered (as all processes after making the dish) let it settle!

Then, Enjoy!

Regards,

Are the chicken feet edible or just there to give flavour to the dish?

Anyway I made this interesting Nigerian dish today called Obe ata. It is basically a red pepper soup/stew that is usually eaten with rice.

Ingredients:

- 2 onions
- 2 red peppers
- 4 tomatoes
- palm oil
- paprika powder
- maggi cubes
- lamb or beef cuts

Instructions:

- Place the meat in a saucepan. Add half a cup of water, 1 diced/chopped onion and 2-3 tablespoons of palm oil. Let the saucepan cook on medium heat until the meat is cooked and tender.

- Blend the red peppers, tomatoes and onion. Add the mixture to the saucepan. Add the maggi cubes and paprika powder as well. Let everything cook for 20-30 minutes. Prepare some rice to accompany the stew.

Hot Chocolate-Stout Float.
 
Chocolate stout is a type of beer that has a dark chocolaty flavor; some brands are even brewed with a small amount of chocolate.  This may sound strange, but it's delicious.
 
Easy Fudge Sauce-
 
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk or half and half
2    Tsp. vanilla or instant coffe crystals
 
In small bowl mix brown sugar and cocoa powder and set aside.
2.  In heavy saucepan melt butter with milk. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, just until mixture bubbles around edge of pan.  Add sugar-cocoa mix. Cook, stirring constantly, 1-2 minutes, until sugar is dissolved and mix. is smooth and thickened.
 
3. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla or coffee crystals.
 
Stout Float-
 
1/2 cup Easy Fudge Sauce
1  12-16-oz chocolate stout or regular stout.
1 quart vanilla bean Ice Cream
 
In small saucepan heat easy fudge sauce and 1/4 cup stout [beer] until warm and combined.
 
Place 2 scoops of ice cream in each of 6 soda glasses.  Spoon 2 tbsp warm fudge sauce into each, pour some remaining beer over icecream, serve with long spoons.
 
Outstanding cold weather treat.

I simple and fast Bulgarian dish I just stirred up for lunch:
Eggs and Red Pepper /Yaica sus Cherveni Chushki/



Ingredients:
6 eggs
12-16 oz red peppers, broiled and peeled - I use such from a jar
3-4 oz "feta" cheese - I soak it in salty water  to reduce it's odor, that I don't like; or "myzithra", the same amount
1/2 bunch of parsley
liberal amount of black pepper
salt according to one's taste - I don't put salt in it because the cheese has enough salt

Cut the peppers in small pieces,  fry in olive oil for some 4-5 minutes; in this time mash the cheese with a fork and beat the eggs lightly, add black pepper, cut the parsley. Pour the agss in the pan, mix with the peppers, and when the eggs begin to solidify, add cheese, cook, stirring, for 5-10 seconds, or until it reaches the hardness you prefer. Stir in parsley, add more black pepper, cover with a lid and take off the fire; let stay for 5 minutes so the flavors blend.
Goes well with crusty white bread, /Italian or French variety/, and a glass of airan /yogurt beaten with water to drinking consistency, I put black pepper in it too. Serves 2 or 3, depending on the size of servings.
