Grape Jelly: Way or No Way?

Grape jelly is lovely but ONLY if it's homemade with the right kind of grapes

Dinner Tonight: Chicken Do-Piaza

I've made Dopiaza numerous times, but my recipe has tomatoes and cardamom in the sauce and no yogurt. It's always been a huge hit at my house.

The 'Mate Latte' Rhyme, Fated or a Coffee Shop Travesty?

I prefer mine strong, hot, and sipped through a bombilla. I love the taste; somewhat earthy, and a bit smoky. It's a lot like tea, some want it sweet, some want milk, some like it cold (very nice on hot days), and many prefer to have it flavoured (mint, fruit etc). I've even heard of people using Kool-aid with their mate, but I hope that's rare. I'm not sure us North Americans can mess about with mate any more than the South Americans already have. Hmmm, time to fill the thermos.

Do you make your own granola?

Home-made is the best! I did it for years, but have slacked off a bit since the kids got older. Here's my recipe:

GRANOLA

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
6 cups rolled grains
(large flake oats, rye, triticale, etc.)
4 cups seeds & nuts (any type will do)
2 cups shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups raisins (optional)

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine oil, honey and cinnamon in a large pot and heat until blended. DO NOT BOIL. Add remaining ingredients except raisins and stir until well blended. Pour into two 9 x 13 baking pans. Bake one pan at a time to reduce the chance of burning. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, then stir. For the next 15 minutes, occasionally stir with a spatula while baking; this will promote even toasting and will prevent burning. Granola will be soft at this point, and golden brown. Cool completely in the pan without stirring. When completely cooled, break up granola and add raisins. Store in a closed container in the fridge.
