Hello everyone!!
For a couple of years now, we have had a showcase type thread over in the CC where simmers post their creations, we play games, and just chat with each other, The DBS Thread.
Now we begin a new season with a different team but in the same spirit of maintaining a space to share our creations, recipes, experiences, meet wonderful people and above all having fun.
Occasionally we´ll organize competitions and games.
We only ask that we be respectful and supportive and have a great time !

INGREDIENTS
40 g quinoa, rinsed
125 g halloumi cheese, cut into thin slices
8 black olive, pitted and halved
4 tbsp barley couscous
120 ml vegetable stock, boiling
1 tsp olive oil
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cucumber, peeled and diced
handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
METHOD
1. Preheat the grill to high. Cook the quinoa in boiling water for about 12 minutes – or according to the packet instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
2. Meanwhile, soak the halloumi slices and olives in water for 10 minutes, to remove any excess salt. While the cheese and olives are soaking, place the couscous in a deep bowl and cover with the vegetable stock. Stir in the olive oil and cover the bowl with cling film. Set aside
for 5 minutes.
3. In a bowl mix the tomatoes, cucumber, drained olives, parsley and mint. Add the quinoa and couscous and stir to combine. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice, and add half to the vegetables and grains.
4. Drain the halloumi, pat dry, and place under the hot grill for 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crispy.
5. To serve, divide the couscous mixture between serving plates, along with the halloumi slices and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Season with black pepper and serve.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
If you can’t find halloumi, use chunks of ungrilled feta instead and soak in the same way before adding to the salad.

I'm sorry about your game Sharon. No need to reinstall the game. Just make a new folder for The Sims 3:
1.-Go to My Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 3
2.-Get The Sims 3 folder to your Desktop. But NO Electronic Arts! That do not move!
3 -.Open the game.
4 -. A new The Sims 3 folder is automatically created. All new and clean, like you've installed the games. Now you just have to settle the contents of the Store.
5 -. The old folder you used to retrieve customized items, saves and other things. But if you do not care, erase it and go.
Courage and good luck!
Potaje de lentejas con chorizo
This is a traditional Spanish plate. Here is the way I cook it. It´s perfect as a main course or a only one.
Ingredients:
Two handfuls of lentils per person.
A small piece of spicy sausage per person.
Half onion.
Half a head of garlic.
A bay leaf.
A concentrated broth cube per pint of water or half kilo (two cubes serves 4)
A spoon of olive oil.
A teaspoon of paprika.
water
(Optional: carrot, potato, tomato, pepper, sliced)
Preparation:
Soak the lentils at least half an hour before cooking.
Drain the lentils.
Pour into the pressure cooker.
Cover with water up to two fingers above.
Add the remaining ingredients.
Cover the pot and reduce heat to medium power when it starts to steam.
Cook for 5 minutes cooking hob / induction (To finish cooking with the residual heat for 7 minutes)
In gas cooker for 12 minutes.
Perhaps you would like to know...
I think you don´t know, but I have a title of Expert in Nutrition for Colectives and experience as Head of School Canteens, and I managed to find the way to combine the traditional with the lack of time of a worker mother
