Smorgasbord Blogger Daily – Wednesday January 8th 2020 – #Recipes Amy Reade, #Tarot Jan Sikes #Interview The Naked Reviewers with Jane Risdon
Really excited and chuffed to see the interview I gave to Sherry Terry and The Naked Reviewers on Sally’s Blog today. It was fun giving the interview and I hope if you drop in you will enjoy it and the other delights available on this fab blog. Thanks, Sally. xx
As the wind howls around the house today and it is allegedly going to be below freezing in the next few days, this first post from author Amy Reade is very appealing… Some warming recipes from around the world…looks like a place to drop into on Tuesdays.
Happy New Year! Welcome to another installment of my monthly First Tuesday Recipes series. This month we’re going international. I’ve got an Eastern European comfort food, a French-inspired entrée, and a German side dish.
Let’s get cooking!

A lovely author interview, Jane. I didn’t realise you were part of the When Stars Will Shine anthology. Esther Chilton featured this book on her blog today and I shared her post to Debby Gies FB site.

Yay, you see we don’t use cups. I am old fashioned and use pints and ounces, others use ml etc.

I use both, Jane. 1 pint is 2 cups (500 ml). 1 ouch is 30 grams. I am always having to convert because my cookery books are all different.

Actually, I am a guesser. I judge amounts and do not measure. Been cooking since I was 8. Got my eye in. Cannot be bothered to follow instructions. Naughty I know.

Just being irritable and pedantic! I know a cup is an American measurement, but am always annoyed by its imprecision.
Cups are NOT a standard size in my experience. I want to know how many mils to use. In UK measures I know how to translate tsp, and tbs.
