    Hi all.

    I received a big bag of paprika this morning from a dear friend who's aware of my love with gulyásleves (goulash). It comes from a farm in South of Hungary, freshly ground, and spicy. The real stuff, not your Schwartz kind.

    I've enough to last me for a couple of months, and as ground spices go, it tends to lose its punch if kept too long. So I thought why not give some of it away to fellow Boardies who will most definitely get great use out of this stuff?

    I've individually packed portions of 2 tablespoons each. The reason I put 2 tbsp is because I always go by the rule of 1 tbsp of paprika per lb of meat. But use it in whatever you wish; as seasoning or spicing up a dish.

    So anyone interested can PM me and I can have it posted to you. First come first served.

    This is an awesome offer. I was in Budapest and bought some excellent Paprika from a farmer's market.

    You can't beat the Hungarian stuff.

    I'm OK thanks, but very kind of you to offer :)

    There's this thing they do as a spread -- cottage cheese, paprika & onion. Love it!

    Had leftovers for dinner tonight so I had a bit of spare time in the kitchen. Knocked up a batch of kimchi. First time trying this at home. Anyone ever made it?

    Any chance you would post the recipe or a link? Would love to give that a try.
    Sure! I've posted it here I'll definitely be making it again. Very cheap, very simple (even for a soup!), very healthy, and very warming and satisfying. A good antidote to the first-day-back blues today :D

    I just made white soda bread (I've been wanting to make brown bread but I cannot get wholemeal flour here that doesn't have baker's yeast added to it - I need to visit an organic shop) for the first time, it's cooling on the rack and I'm dying to take a slice of it! Patience! :)

    I would need to slice it right away! About half a pound of real butter on top mmmmmm;)

    Nothing quite like baking your own bread. It's enormously satisfying isn't it? I always tend to try one slice for posterity's sake and then up eating about half the loaf :o Soda bread is yum!

    Speaking of bread, after the weekend's success, can anyone else give some ideas of "extra" ingredients to stick into a white soda loaf?

    I put sundried tomatoes and grated cheddar into the last one.

    Raisins & sultanas for a sweet version. Lush with lots of butter & a cuppa.

    Does anyone know where I could pick up some Connemara Lamb in Dublin or maybe online that could be delivered before the weekend?

    Adding caraway seeds with the sundried tomatoes creates a bomb of a bread.

    As in, something nice, or something that destroys your oven?

    My mouth is watering right now, sounds amazing.
    What type of sundried tomatoes though? The ones we use are in oil and I can imagine them making the dough ... split?

    yep, the ones in oil. I chopped them fairly finely and added them to the mix, along with the cheese, just before bringing it together to form the dough.

    Soy sauce is used in Chinese cooking instead of salt so I would say use salt! ;)
