A couple of questions before I pass along any of my bread recipes.  First, do 
you know the capasity of the bowl for your stand mixer?  I have a Kitchen Aid 
6-quart Professiona model.  Second, do you have access to bread flour in your 
part of the world, particularly the King Arthur Flour brand or Gold Metal 
brand?  Let me know and I'll see if my recipes are a fit for you.   Jon

  Hi john,

   

  I've been on this list for about a year but don't always have time to post. I 
have a heavy dutie kitchen aid with the dough hooks and all of that. I even 
have the pasta tools for it wwhen I get up the nerve to try them out. I am 
married my wife and I are both blind. Right now we have two cats and a black 
lab. We hope to have kids in the feature. Thanks for all your help.

  I will start sending some of those recipes as soon as I can, including the 
bread recipes you asked for.  I should mention, as you're new to the list, that 
I'm a stay-at-home Dad with a nine-month-old to take care of, so finding the 
time to type out and send a recipe is a real luxury on certain days.  You're in 
luck with the bread and bun recipes as I make nearly all of my own bread from 
scratch.  Do you have any kind of stand mixer or other machine to help you with 
the mixing, or are you doing this by hand?   Jon

    Hi John,

     

    The sweet and sour pork and the egg plant recipes would be great. I try to 
make a lot from scratch as food is very expensive. I use to be from the states 
but when I got married I moved to Canada to be with my wife. She is also blind 
and ended up landing a job here so this is ware we got stuck weather we like it 
here or not lol. Also some good recipes for sandwitch bread and hamburger and 
hodog bunns would be great.

     

    Thanks.

    Yes, that explains a lot.  I couldn't live in a climate more different from 
you as I'm in the deserts of Las Vegas, USA.  I'm not sure I'd want to live in 
the Arctic, but I definitely dream of living some place cooler with four 
seasons and where I can see some rain and snow on a regular basis in the right 
season.  My heart is in the Northern Rockys.  As far as the recipes go, I'll 
see what I can dig  up.  I have what I think is a good recipe for sweet and 
sour pork if you are interested, though it does take a bit of work.  As far as 
the cucumbers go, I don't cook with them, but I do use them often in salads and 
for cucumbers marinated in vinegar, sometimes with onions.  Eggplant is also a 
vegetable I don't cook with very often, but I have found a great recipe for 
eggplant Parmesan.  I also have a recipe from back in my culinary school days 
for eggplant wraps.  The primary flavor comes from an olive oil spread enfused 
with cumin and garlic.  At this time, that's all I can offer from my own 
personal collection.  Let me know what recipes you would like, or if you'd like 
me to search any other recipes for you.  The more specific, the better.   Jon

      Hi John,

       

      I live here in the Artic. We are about a three hour flight from 
Greenland. Internet service is not that great up here. It is easiest to get 
e-mail. Most sites do not load that well here. I hope that explains a bit on 
why I am asking for the recipes verses looking them up myself. I use to do it 
all the time when I lived down south. I guess I better go and start my seal 
stew before my wife gets home it minus 65 c here today.

      Are you able to access and search for recipes on the web?  There are 
countless websites out there devoted to recipes, and a few of them are actually 
worth visiting more than once.  If you're simply looking for recipes, I would 
suggest you start there and see what you find.  While I don't discourage anyone 
from sharing recipes here and recipes are certainly welcome, I prefer that 
recipes that are shared be ones that the person posting the recipe has actually 
made or plans to make in the near future, and that recipe requests be as 
specific as possable..  With that, it looks like you received some excellent 
tips on making fried rice, which I plan to read again when I try making fried 
rice again.

         Jon
