Hi John, We have that exact same mixer. I can get bread flour here. King Authur is popular here in Canada.

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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
