Personally I'd like to start a new style of not-cooking. Luckily it's Summer and I can get away with even less fussing than ever. I've never had a wok. I am thinking of getting an air fryer though. We'll see how that works out.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-84862105374975635122021-06-23T04:47:51.821+12:002021-06-23T04:47:51.821+12:00My compute* will print the lette*, only randomly. ...My compute* will print the lette*, only randomly. <br />But I have read here, today. <br />π π» π π» π π» π π» π<br /><br />I will add....

It is hard to change. I am just so tired of it all. Your new wok looks really nice. Maybe I need to buy something new for the kitchen. I do wish you luck. :) Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-6050653322127480132021-06-22T23:38:04.870+12:002021-06-22T23:38:04.870+12:00Good luck with your new menu.

He was a sweets person, me just chocolate. He gave up sweets. I have chocolate occasionally now. We cut back on carbs. Lots of salad and veg, little red meet. Lots of interesting recipes to try and itβs been great trying new things. We like quinoa now, with roasted veg added. We would never have thought weβd grow to like it when we first tried it.<br /><br />The new wok looks like a great buy. Enjoy your new cooking adventures.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-59789164816597967062021-06-22T22:49:32.501+12:002021-06-22T22:49:32.501+12:00We have two woks that we use constantly.

If you are really interested in changing your eating habits move more towards a plant based diet, and especially cut out red meat. It's better for you and the environment. David M.

I noticed her list this week said 'paella, falafel, the usual range of salads (it is summer time here) and 1 new thing'. So maybe you are on a wavelength. It seems that no matter what your usual style is for food prep you can get a bit bogged down in repeating the things you always turn to. Last week the new thing was Gazpacho. I can assure you that cats are not interested in gazpacho. I'm hoping the one new thing will look (smell, taste) remarkably like roast chicken. I don't feel bogged down at all. xxx Mr TTigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-33047906375219459792021-06-22T20:06:46.226+12:002021-06-22T20:06:46.226+12:00There is nothing like a good wok for cooking thing...There is nothing like a good wok for cooking things like stir fries that need lots of instant heat. A friend lived in China for a while and said that sometimes the wok was almost red hot and food was cooked almost instantly. Good luck with your cooking. I love stir fries and risottos so I hope you enjoyed yours.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-54867913437003536062021-06-22T19:48:04.743+12:002021-06-22T19:48:04.743+12:00Try lamb biryani, I love it, very simple to make (...Try lamb biryani, I love it, very simple to make (one wok).
