I got the power

Due to Christian fasting every Wednesday and Friday which involves not eating dairy and meat, I made "shiro" (a paste made from tomato, onion and shiro "chick pea" powder) for my counterpart.  Apart from forgetting that an electric hob should not be plugged into a 500W stabiliser and nearly burning the place down, I think it went well.  They were polite and said that it was nice, although felt it needed work on the consistency.  I did however wow them with my brownies.  Having said that, even this simple recipe proved challenging using home-made weighing scales made from two bowls and string and an oven with only two settings – very high and very low.   My plans for pizza were not quite so successful.  "Doh"!
