What Are You Going to Have for Dinner Tonight?
We had marinated lamb cutlets with steamed potato, broccoli, and carrot. I ate it standing up at the kitchen bench. Too much stuff on the lounge.

Oh, I wasn't sure if you meant a commercial product, or something hand-produced, or molasses (which is a different thing but I've heard people use the two terms interchangeably). My grandparents used to grow it and make the syrup right next to the crop.

It tastes great too.
Yum kale!I'm thinking sweet potato mash and green beans, or possibly tomato salsa... I have a lot of fresh tomatoes that need eating.
Grilled chix, grilled asparagus, pickled eggs, cheesy hashbrowns, green olives, and dessert was home-made donuts.
1. chook Aussie slang for "chicken." Also, "chookie."
2. chook
An Aussie slang word for chicken that's commonly used as a 'nice insult,' especially when somebody has done or said something really obviously retarded that's only worth laughing about. Similar to that of a 'dag.'
Morgan: I got hit by a bus yesterday
Ted: oh yeah, what happened?
Morgan: I was standing in the middle of a road
Ted: ha, ya bloody chook
Last night I made Chicken Tetrazzini. My college girl was home so I subbed soy milk for the heavy cream and butter in the sauce. It was pretty good, but I kind of missed the cream.

No. I'm way too lazy.
We had Lasagne tonight.
I might be too, but Karen's reference to french baguette and my own frustration with $5 loaves of bread, has me thinking it can't be that hard can it..?

Yes, it isn't all that difficult, having patience for the bread to rise is the most difficult.
@Emily: Bread baking is not difficult. The trick is to temper the yeast with warm, not hot, water. My first success with bread baking was Oatmeal bread from a Mennonite cookbook, More With Less.Dr. Cynthia bakes a mean sourdough baguette.
I've made a lot of bread. For the last few years I've used a machine, but prior to that it was all by hand. It's not hard at all. As Jim said, having patience is probably the toughest part.

Yes!!!! And it is sooooooo worth it!!!!!!! I refuse to use a machine because I like to knead but either way it's not really that difficult once you know what you're doing and there is really nothing better than the fresh taste of a simple loaf of bread.
