Hi Dave,
DD> I think the "Gas mark" is a British/UK thing. I cannot recall that I
Seems to be. We had an electric stove in Berlin, and, IIRC, Frankfurt so
I didn't have to be concerned with gas mark conversions.
DD> ever saw them on a gas oven that I used. Or possibly I didn't pay
them DD> an attention as I was trying to get the control to the
Farenheit DD> number given in the recipe. Bv)=
For decades, even before Steve went into the Army, we've kept a
thermometer in the oven. Last place we lived in Swansboro, the oven had
no markings and we had a rather dark brown pizza the night we moved in.
I'd had an electric stove at the previous place and just guessed where I
needed to turn the knob on the gas stove. IIRC, we also bought a
replacement knob with the markings.
DD> One of my Australian sources has a nice "bolerplate" addition at the
DD> end of each recipe. To wit: /begin pasted/
RH> Nice to know. Something I'd clip and tape to an (inside) cabinet door
RH> for quick reference. Looking at the above, main difference I see is
RH> that their tablespoon is 20 ml, vs the 15 ml I use.
DD> It's a nice addition and a recognition that the editors know that
DD> others than their "own" will be reading and (hopefully) making the
DD> recipes.
As I understand, most USA recipies are now written with large eggs as
the standard. I think the conversion to medium is 3 medium equal 2
large eggs.
DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8
DD> I've not made this yet - but it's high on my "Roun d Tuit" list,
DD> halved or quartered:
RH> Looks good, have you tried the red sauce moussaka? That's good too.
DD> I have tried it more than once. I just prefer the white (bechamel)
DD> sauce.
RH> I'll take either one. (G)
DD> I said "prefer" not reject the other. Bv)= When I do the red gravy
DD> moussaka I keep thinking "Who put potatoes in the lasagna?" Also, the
DD> first experience I had with moussaka was the white version. As the
DD> twig is bent ....
Yes, same as my favorite bbq is eastern NC pork. (G)
DD> This is another of my Greek specialities. I had to learn to make this
DD> because we don't have a Greek restaurant within 75 miles amd the Saint
DD> Anthony's Greek Fest is only once a year.
That'll work. One of the Greek Orthodox churches in Raleigh does a big
festival every year but we've yet to go. Nearest Greek restaurant is
also in Raleigh.
