In many cases, that's a structural engineer you need!

I really don't know how much I put in when I cook. I just sort of 'feel' it if you know what I mean. Its like my taste buds can anticipate it and tell me when to stop.

Oh no, these lemons are incredible. Really good.
If you want to do tandoori chicken use these lemmons, paprika, and any kind of indian spice mix (eg garam masala) and a coriander powder (has a lovely orangy flavor)
They are a must have in the fridge!

Oh, yeah, pretty easy - only takes some 20-30 ingredients... With a lot of local variations.
Nah, I think I'll try to find some readymade. I am pleased, though, that there is fenugreek in it. I love that and use it all the time in Indian cooking!
Not to be replaced by Berbere spice mix[^] according to Wikipedia. But that is also REAL good. If you haven't tried that, I can recommend it!

Marinade sounds yummy. I will have to replace meat with cottage cheese or something else.
If you like this kind of spice mix and sea food, I believe Mozambique would be a good place for you. The food there seems to be mix of African, Arabic and Indian styles.
Disclaimer: I have only spent 4 days in Maputo. I do not eat sea food or any kind of meat. But did checked with friends who had food there and spoke with locals about their food.

Tofu. Give that a go, it will stand up to the heat better than cottage cheese. Or veggie burgers.
I like any kind of food. Cheese fondue to sushi and everything in between. For me, food, cooking, is like street art. Its quick production, consumption, do it again every day pleasure, both to make and to eat. Problem is keeping trim!

No for Tofu. I really don't like it. Yes for veggie burgers.Among frozen food options, I like this[^] one.
Me too. I love trying out different cuisine but dietary restrictions really limit my options. Have you tried Chimichurri[^]?

Chimmichurri? CHIMMICHURRI????
We f***ing LIVE on CHIMICHURRI!
I make it a lot with steak, its a great sauce for steak. Olive oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, touch of vinegar, salt. Then when the steak is done add water to the frying pan to clean it, and reduce it to a syrup and add to the sauce.
My 12 year old daughter is in love with it, she is mad for raw garlic and its her favorite all time sauce.
Apparently it was created by an Irish guy in Argentina call Jimmy McCurry, and the locals couldn't pronounce his name!

It could also come from Basque tximitxurri loosely translated as "a mixture of several things in no particular order", but I like your story better.

tximitxurri is probably more likely then, since it has Spanish connections.
Yeah, seems to be: Google[^]

Sounds delicious. We're getting towards BBQ season here in Israel, so I'll definitely be trying this out.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

So a small question : My father's hard drive is giving the first signs of an agony that will probably be very quick.
I think the best way to solve that is to buy another HD and to make a true image of his on the new one. I am pretty confident that this works easily with a data disque, but I am not sure if this is possible with a bootable disk. Does anyone have experience with this ? Or another idea how to solve it painlessly ?
What I would like to avoid at all costs is a complete reinstall... (and the 1000 questions such as "But where is the background image of the lion I had on my desktop ?").

Easiest way is get another disk the same size.
Use this: AOMEI Backupper standard[^] to make an image of the disk, and a bootable CD/DVD.
Fit new HDD, boot from CD, and write the image to it.
Done.

Mmmhh.. and you transfer the image on the bootable CD ? But.. how big is an image (comrpession invovled) = does it fit on CD, or did I miss something here ?
Does this also cover the bootable part and all the UEFI/GPT blablabla thingies ?

Depends on the disk: I write mine to USB HDD, and my whole Win10 and data disk image is 128GB using default compression (That's compressed from about 200GB).
Rage wrote: does it fit on CD
No!
Rage wrote: Does this also cover the bootable part and all the UEFI/GPT blablabla thingies
Oh Yes!
It's an image - so it copies the whole disk (excluding unused portions) and writes it back.
I've used it to restore my system a couple of times (trial checks, and one live recovery onto a spare disk) and the copy boots as if it was the original.
You can do this with a bigger destination disk (I think, I haven't tried that) but you'd need their Partition Magic (again free) to "recover" the spare disk space. I used it yesterday to recover the old pre SSD disk space - I had my HDD partitioned into C (bootable, windows, apps) and D (data) and generated a single much bigger D once I removed the old bootable partition.

Just realized the confusion: you make a bootable CD / DVD with AOMEI to boot the computer from with no OS on the new HDD - it contains the restore software which writes back the image.
The bootable is pretty tiny - it's Win PE, so about 350MB - and doesn't hold the image data.
I use a couple of external Seagate 2TB / 4TB USB drives to hold my images and backups (and unplug them when I'm finished so ransomware can't touch them)

You can, but it's a little more complex to make a USB bootable - and it's been made more difficult since some viruses were spreading via bootable USB disks left plugged in at power up.
You're probably better with a CD / DVD if you can, as most systems will boot from it automatically.
