It looks so serene it's almost surreal. Sure wish I was there!

When I upgrade my desktop computer to something more portable to be as "on the go" as I am, I will definitely be looking into the sweet $999 Dell notebook.

I imagine though, the temptation to "knock a bat in" on other players heads is the reason the minions do it for the players :)

Re: Cricket Fielding Strategies

jademayari — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:09:17 -0000

A team that I felt had excellent fielders but was highly underrated in the 2007 Cricket World Cup was the South African team. The fielding they put forth during the tournament was an example of how in Cricket, the left hand always has to know what the right hand is doing. Australia has that formula down pat with very few overthrows and miss-fieldings. South Africa while immature as a team on the whole, are well on their way to emulating Australia's phenomenal fielding style and should be a team to watch closely at the next world cup.

Re: Which Camera to Buy for Mom?

An average 256 Megabyte digital photo card will allow a user to take rougly 200 pictures at a resolution of 4 megapixels. If that were applied to a 10 megapixels camera, mom would probably be able to take 20 pictures before she ran out of card memory. It's best to go with the predecessor of the 10 megapixel camera in this case. Bigger is not always better.

Re: Homemade Flavour - Cheese Made From Expired Milk

Paneer goes really well in all of the Indian curries like mattar paneer which is a thick and spicy curried gravy with peas and and cheese inside, it can be added to vegetarian kormas as well as meat masalas and even layered in between chunks of chicken for a nice shish-ka-bob of chicken tikka tandoori. With homemade paneer, you are only limited by your imagination as to which dishes you can add it to.

I wrote down the basic recipe to encourage others to try their hand at a simple homemade cheese recipe, but you are absolutely right Deb, you can add anything that you like spice-wise to your paneer but I would add it to the strained paneer as the water is being pressed and drained from it so the spices don't end up down the drain instead of in the paneer. Adding thyme, peppercorns, your favorite pesto, basil, sea salt, anything goes with homemade cheese. It's all up to what spice mix pleases your palate.

Re: Flash or No Flash?

jademayari — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:26:04 -0000

I am partial to the first photo without the flash, as the ones with the flash make it look like it's very dark there even though you're right about the striking foreground colors.

Re: Types of Dismissals in cricket

You forgot the 3rd umpire out! You know the one where the umpires aren't sure that it's an out so the decision gets sent up to the 3rd umpire watching in the control room. It should have it's own category I say :)

Cricket is a sport that grows on people, it wasn't long ago that I didn't know the first thing about it, but now that cricket can be seen anywhere in the world, online or on television, it's a beauty to watch.

Re: Poutine is the Junk Food of the Gods

jademayari — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:24:08 -0000

Absolutely this recipe works with oven fried chips and regular cheese. Traditionally the way poutine was created was with the ingredients mentioned in the post, but substitutions are no problem with this tasty dish. Let me know how your kids like it :)

Re: My Favourite Cricket Umpire

jademayari — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 01:31:05 -0000

Hey Rayaz, I have to agree with you on the best umpire tactics have to come from Billy Bowden as I've laughed many times watching his antics. My second favorite has to be Simon Taufel, he's quiet but he's fair and has an excellent eye. If I had to choose my least favorite from any umpire now or previously, I'd say it would be Darryl Hair, he was dismissed for bad calls, then appealed and re-instated only to be dismissed again, needless to say it made for some pretty controversial cricket.

Very nice photo indeed, there's a certain airborne freedom in it that was captured at exactly the right moment :)

I would definitely be interested to know how something that huge and that heavy actually does manage to stay in the air, I'll be watching your posts :)

Re: If Loving My Slow Cooker Is Wrong - I Don’t Want To Be Right

Hi Deb, a traditional five spice oriental mix will combine all elements of sweet, sour, bitter,savory, and salty. It can be bought in oriental supermarkets as a five spice oriental mix or if you have the spices at home the traditional preparation consists of cinnamon, cloves, anise, ginger root, and fennel seeds. Happy slow cooking :)

Lovely shots Deb, you truly have a photographers eye :)

Well, if we're talking about a fantasy team then it should include a few of the more colorful dramatic players such as Munaf Patel from India as he's liable to bean you in the face with the ball if you piss him off and Owais Shaw fom England for his long drawn-out batting stances, he looks like a chicken getting ready to give birth to his first egg :)

Too many retirements equals defeat - it takes a long time to grow a team that works and meshes well together

Going too far is going too far no matter where you are. You might talk trash with your friends and family members and all have a good laugh, but airing someone's dirty laundry to humiliate them is just not cool.
