[Mtndog]

Please share mincemeat pie recipe! Always wanted to try that and Beef Wellington.

Here's a funny for you. Hubby told his PERVERSELY funny friend he was getting a black puppy named Angus. They went crazy coming up with silly "dog delicacies":

German Shephard Pie

Yorkshire Terrier Pudding

Black Angus steak (duh!)

Beagles and lox

Roasted Rottweiler

Hi Stinker. Good to meet you Have we seen you somewhere before?

[jerseyangel]

Stinker! (Thanks Susie)

Yes, I do believe we've met

You'll be nice company for Angus--but how do you manage to type

[DingoGirl]

ohhhhhhhhhh dear, has Stinker been on the computer? I just knew they were up to more than eating my bags of chips and Nuggets when I was gone......ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Hello Susie from England, I dont' know if you've MET Stinker but you've certainly heard about her enough..... Such naughty dingos!!

Well, I am taking the girls for a play date with their puppy boyfriends (we will not tell their other boyfriends of this new situation).....wish Angus could come.

Nikkie - - what in the heck IS mincemeat, anyway? When I was little I thought it was the gross part of the chicken - those gizzards and stuff.

Carry on, sillies, adn we will see you later!

[nikki-uk]

ohhhhhhhhhh dear, has Stinker been on the computer? I just knew they were up to more than eating my bags of chips and Nuggets when I was gone......ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Oh Stinker you clever girl - welcome to the boards (you are on my friends list Sweetie )

LOL!!

...err this is another one of those cupboard moments !!

A cultural difference between us peeps.

Sweet mincemeat is dried fruit ( raisins, apples, sultanas ) orange peel, spices, alcohol plus suet.

Wrapped in pastry, served with cream.

There is no meat in sweet mincemeat

..as opposed to minced beef or lamb.

I've no idea why it's called 'mincemeat' (probably some ye olde English tradition that got changed along the way)

Covsooze (Susie) will know what I'm on about !

BTW Susan, gross part of chicken - do you mean giblets???

[nikki-uk]

Please share mincemeat pie recipe! Always wanted to try that and Beef Wellington.

Bev, - I'm not sure you'll be interested now we've established that oddly (sweet) English mince pies have no meat in them !!

..but Beef Wellington is divine (and there are NO wellington boots in it!!)

[jerseyangel]

Actually Nikki, I would also love your mincemeat pie recipe. Do you make your own from stratch? I used to make a pie from bottled mincemeat and my own crust--but I have been forgetting to call the two brands I can get here and see if it's gluten-free or not.

My husband would love a mince pie at Christmas--he's not gluten-free of course, but that's the only way I'm gonna make it

I just got finished making 2 big batches of sugar cookies--and frosting and decorating.

PATTI !! NO I DIDN'T MAKE THE MINCEMEAT FROM SCRATCH !!! ( Good lord NO!!)

Okay , I don't know if you can get jars of mincemeat over there but just so there's no misunderstanding it looks something likeOpen Original Shared Link

Now I also know that you guys use different measurements an' all ( you use cups I think? ) but this is how I made mine....

200grams (8oz) Gluten Free Flour

50grams (2oz) hard margarine

50grams (2oz) lard

1 Orange,grated rind and juice

1 medium egg, beaten

Mincemeat

Place the flour in a bowl and rub the fats to resemble course breadcrumbs. Stir in orange rind, beaten egg and sufficient orange juice to form a soft dough.

Knead well on a surface lightly dusted with flour, then roll out 2/3 and cut out rounds to line tartlet tins. Place a spoonful of mincemeat in each. Roll out remainder of pastry and cutr out desired shapes e.g stars for top of pies. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a pre heated oven for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Serve warm dusted with icing sugar.

Oven temperature 190 celsius/375 farenheit/gas mark 5

Not at all sure that can translate in anything you understand (I think our oven temps are different too )

but there it is

Do you dare???

Tomorrow, Sausage Roll recipes !!! (what are they? you are all thinking)

There's a picture of your mojo on your avatar, I'm surprised you didn't find it! It sure saw you!!

[DingoGirl]

Oh Stinker you clever girl - welcome to the boards (you are on my friends list Sweetie )

oh she will be thrilled to have a friend on her first day, I"ll tell her.....

BTW Susan, gross part of chicken - do you mean giblets???

yes, those disgusing things, I call them gizzards, is that wrong? the giblets, the INTERNAL ORGANS that fall out......makes me sick every time.......in fact I was vegetarian for two years after dealing with those in high school once - - - blech!......

Nikki - - Richard will NOT be pleased with you using mince MEAT out of a jar, you know he would demand hours of cooking/drinking/ and dog walkign to perfect the recipe........

OkA. Sometimes I HaVE to Sink. WhaRE iZ RichaRD. Why he WORK? SILLie Dawg!

Indeed, Angus, why is Richard working??? I guess he has to count all the money and heinous stuff like that at this time of year......he doesn't even know we have two new canine members....

OMG Angus is SO cute and SO back in black!!!!!

Donna----yes, it looks like you DO have your mojo, silly. You know what, I think I got mine back too. But not in the way you all think.......BEv's got hers too, excellent, but evidently Richard doesn't even have TIME for his mojo......

Angus would be enough to supply 10 people's mojo I think...very cute pup!!! Have I mentioned I LOVE dogs, lol.

Silly mojo...I didn't see it coming, lol.

[jerseyangel]

Nikki,

Thanks for posting your mince pie recipe. I wish I could get the brand of mincemeat that you have--it's marked gluten-free, etc. right on the front! I will just have to call on the ones available to me.

I loved your crust recipe using the orange! I am definately trying that--it looks so good, and I've never seen anything like that. You are a very clever cook

What a thread--mojos being lost and found, pets coming out of their avatars and speaking up (by the way, I wonder how my kitty would hold up with all the dogs... ) and cooking tips! Kind of a one-stop wonder thread What's Richard going to think when he gets back??

The heck with pink--Angus is the new black

[DingoGirl]

You are a very clever cook

yes she is, Richard would be so proud.....if we could only find him.......

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yes, Patti, it is the silliest thread ever.......and ANGUS is the new black!!!!!

[nikki-uk]

I am definately trying that--it looks so good, and I've never seen anything like that. You are a very clever cook

Snort!! ,Guffaw! , Snigger !

PATTI !!! - I can safely say I've never been accused of being a clever cook before.

I only read it out of a gluten-free xmas cookbook.

Hee hee!!

I told my cat (Lady Lucy) that I have a new friend *Stinker* - she is not amused, she says I have betrayed her and is now sitting with her back to me

My cat is a snob and treats me with the disgust she thinks I deserve

The heck with pink--Angus is the new black

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Angus is the new black. And with good reason (besides the fact that he rocks!). He's still in mourning. Talked to his foster mom down in Tennessee. She said he was born to a man who had 10 dogs, none of them fixed. If he couldn't get someone to take Angus' litter (10 OF THEM!), he was going to shoot them. WTF? :angry: :angry: So he was this mean jerk for 8 weeks so God only knows what happened then and the his foster mom took him.

She had him for four weeks before he spent his FIRST time in a crate which was a 20 hour drive seperated from all but 2 of his siblings. Poor baby has been through a lot! No one he HATES the crate!

He's doing REALLY well but he's shy. LOVES other dogs, a little hesitant around people (except me cuz he knows I'm his momma ) when he goes for a walk, he struts his stuff like he's in a dog show. We love love love him!

Patti- Angus LOVES kitties! He's so fascinated by our 2, doesn't chase them, just gets in play puppy pose and wiggles his butt.

Nikki- I am DEFINITELY going to try about the mincemeat pie. It sounds YUMMY!

Donna- That is ONE GOOD LOOKING MOJO you got there!

Do you think if all the dogs and cats on this thread get together and bark/meow richard would hear it?
