I do love using them in lots of things, though. Someday, maybe you will get my Mom's meat ball casserole or her spicy meat ball soup - both thanks to Mr. Campbell!Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-36800850897830190862012-08-05T11:12:17.771-04:002012-08-05T11:12:17.771-04:00In my opinion the whole idea of food related activ...In my opinion the whole idea of food related activities is doing whatever interests you. There´s no right or wrong (of course there are exceptions as always)but it should be a pleasurable experience, and that means whatever works for you. With such hot weather you managed to eat a great meal! I love the idea of jalapeño pepper... recipe? This time I checked your recipes but couldn´t find it. Campbell´s cream of mushroon soup in meatloaf, that´s the recipe that haunted me for years!Paula @ Vintage Kitchenhttp://www.vintagekitchennotes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-47891368880380340512012-08-05T09:46:58.487-04:002012-08-05T09:46:58.487-04:00Susan - whenever we have this dish, we always thin...Susan - whenever we have this dish, we always think of you and how we would love to make it for you one day.<br /><br />John - I know what you mean about missing the crispiness but, as Indian cooking often forgoes the crispy texture in its fish and lamb curries, I don't miss it at all.<br /><br />Karin - I have never made jam in the microwave but might have to call on you for some recipes.I have, on the other hand, made chutney, apple butter and other condiments in there!<br /><br />Thanks, all, for reading!Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-23547974716117232322012-08-05T07:06:50.960-04:002012-08-05T07:06:50.960-04:00I am a BIG fan of the microwave - my jam making ha...I am a BIG fan of the microwave - my jam making has gotten far easier (and less messy) because of it too. Plus I can spend more time eating the jam and less scraping the splatter off my stove! And I can't remember the last time I actually FRIED a piece of bacon!<br /><br />This looks like a lovely meal, and will definitely be added to my list.

The microwave in my household is only ever used for heating and defrosting and I never even considered cooking fish in there. I can see by the list of spice ingredients how delicious the flavours would be but I guess the only thing I'd miss would be the slightly crispiness you get from pan cooking. Using the microwave is almost like steaming I suppose. I think I need to try this!john@heneedsfoodhttp://heneedsfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-28463637171834410562012-08-04T15:11:17.359-04:002012-08-04T15:11:17.359-04:00That looks very tasty, and I happen to have salmon...That looks very tasty, and I happen to have salmon in the fridge.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-55928953513082328352012-08-04T11:58:30.355-04:002012-08-04T11:58:30.355-04:00Jill - I think you will really love it!
