I love these. Haven't had any in a long time. Now, I've got to find some.

Yea me to , 

They were really not very hard to make  . They just took a bit of time, the little trick I learned for rolling them really helped. 

I got the grape leaves from this place on Lazada and I must say they shipped fast and the leaves were top quality, I will certainly order from them again.

Oh one thing I did that might have helped was that before using the leaves I put them in boiling water for a minute and then left them in the hot water for about 10 minutes.

I think that the jeat is getting to me as well,

 

4pm and it is 38.5C outside and 34.3C inside the house.

 

We are waiting for the BIL to come next week  to clean and recharge 2 a/c.

This heat is getting to all of us, 

I was getting bored so I  went to the farm , about 5 min from our house to play around . It was so hot I thought I would have a heart attack , 

I paced it in and went back home. 

Got to be carefully in this heat. None of the people who have issues , think it would happen to them , until it does. 

Hope you have a fan going and keeping hydrated.

i still am a reasonable person in many other threads, but the senseless slaughter from both sides has gone on endlessly for months and only a few people seem to protest about the needless deaths on both sides

I am right there with you mate. It makes me sick to my stomach to see this things,

Most of the time when I write any post on any subject, I get a redline under mis-spelt or mis-grammared words and I assume that everybody does. I usually go back and correct the error.

Same here, but you are not the only one whos getting  older. I see a word redlined as misspelled, the drop down window gives me three choices but if I am not wearing my glasses , I can't see any of them, unfortunately You can not zoom in the drop down spelling window. 

   Getting older has its challenges , but consider the alternative 

I don't remember who said it.

You always seem to find an excuse, wrong words, missing question mark, but never seem to answer the questions.

Dude!! How long do you know me in this forum????

Do you think that based on my 15 years in this forum attitude I would think that the aid workers were really Hamas??? 

"Now please explain the "You always seem to find an excuse, wrong words, missing question mark, but never seem to answer the questions."

Always???? realy ???? please provide another incident where I defaulted to excuses?? And "never seem to answer the questions " what are the questions and when did I not answer them ?

    You always used  to be a reasonable person, What happened to you? are the ravages of  old age finally catching up with you?

   They were not Hamas, they were indeperandant volunteers who Israel mistakenly thought were Hamas 

It is a typo from my lazy keyboard. what is missing is the question mark, 

the "also" should had been a clue, another clue would had been what I was replying to,

Really?

 

You are 100% certain of that, and have the evidence to prove it?

 

Then it should be easy for you to prove it. Just produce the evidence. The IDF and the Israeli government desperately need that 100% verified evidence.

What is missing is my question mark  LOL

I will get hold of some frozen puff and/or flaky pastry from Makro next time I am up there.

That is exactly what I do. 

Last time I tried to make it myself , it took a day to put the kitchen together again. 

Making your own puff pastry dough with the room temperature butter, and flour everywhere is not worth the trouble. The one sold at Makro works brilliantly.  

Stuffed grape leaves

My sister in FL made them last week , and monkey see monkey do , since I had not made them in a long time, I decided to also make them,. 

I cant wait until she wakes up so I can show her. 

So I ordered a jar of grape leaves  from Lazada. 

I was surprised at the quality , sometimes you get them and they are too small or a large percentage are torn. Every single one of them was good, I have to leave them a good review.

Anyway the stuffing consists of a kilo of ground beef, (I wanted to make many of them and freeze them)  I cup of rice , 2 large onions finely diced and sauteed , Chopped dill, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper. 

Easy enough, now comes the hard part , the rolling. Lucky for me I saw a trick on FB and unlike most of them this one actually worked in fact it worked brilliantly. I made a short vid to send to my sister, 

Then lined the bottom of a pan with some unused grape leaves to keep my stuffed grape leaves from sticking to the bottom, lay them in a circle  for layers, covered them with a plate to keep them from floating up. In 2 cups of water I dissolved 2 cubes of chicken stock   an poured it in the pot so that the stuffed grape leaves are covered brought to boil and reduced the heat and cooked for 45 minutes. 

Anyone interested PM me for recipe.

How did they expect Russians to support themselves for 3 months, corruption, crime, and alcoholism, is a way of life for them, the fault lays squarely at the feet of this numb nut PM who has no Idea how Russia works yet gave them all a free 3 month visa. You wanted them you got 'em. Idiot of a man he is.

where all the other nationalities here , do it with a smile and a sunny disposition.

If they could only chose a bigger river,

By the way,

Thousands of brown aid workers were targeted and killed by the IDF and no outrage as we see when this happens to 6 whites.

Not good.

I think he is laughing at the idea that they were not targeted by the IDF.
