Tail between my legs here....


I have finally made and reviewed Elmotoo's Shawrbat 'adas Maa Banadoura (Lentil and Tomato Soup). Weather here is just awful, cold and rainy, and a delicious bowl of soup was the perfect evening meal.

We have just finished eating echo echo's Middle Eastern Lamb and Spinach Soup. Very nice, thank you!

My review:
A very interesting soup, which was very soothing on a grey autumn evening. It wasn't the easiest of soups to make, though. This isn't a dish you can ignore while it cooks - you have to be around to do things to it at regular intervals. I found that I had to add more water because the soup got very thick and gloopy - and after the rice flour mixture went in, I had to stir frequently because the soup stuck to the pan. In future, I would season the meatball mixture as well as the soup itself, since the meatballs seemed a little bland. But apart from these minor quibbles with the method, the end-result is very good - healthy, tasty and well worth the effort. I'll make it again.

Cookgirl's Green Beans Algerian-Style made, eaten and the plate licked clean

My review:
This is an unusual way of dressing green beans, which I think would go beautifully as an accompaniment to plain-ish dishes such as grilled chicken. I had to use olive oil, since I forgot to buy any peanut oil, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The almonds added a nice textural variation, and the cloves really made it stand out from the crowd. Very good!

Is there anyone interested in taking over the NAME tag game for me? I am overextended right now, and would like to bow out the game . If no one is interested I will close the game , but outstanding reviews will still be due.

[Cookgirl]

Why don't you just finish the game at the end of October?


It's had a good run!

Also, you may want to consider that many folks, myself included, will start to get very busy gearing up for
Thanksgiving in a few weeks... fyi

If no one was going to be interested in hosting it, I had planned in ending the game Oct 31. I agree I think this game has had a full life. You guys have made it fun

[Cookgirl]

You should be proud of your accomplishment!

[Syrinx]

Thank you for organising this. It's been fun - my first Tag game here at Recipezaar, but definitely not my last!
