Good morning NIKK and all!
NIKK - thanks for the first-hand update from someone in the UK. Great idea about the purchase of items from Amazon UK.

At least some of us in the TF have mentioned having Slavic heritage, though I don’t think you have to have such heritage to enjoy this. For those of you who don’t watch Fox and Friends, they do a cooking segment every week with one of their hosts or contributors. Last week they did one with Dr. Gorka. Most of us have seen Dr. Sebastian Gorka on TV (he’s really great on terrorism and ISIS and IIRC is an advisor to Mr. T). He and his son were on last week and here’s his recipe (I think it was his mother’s):
Hungarian Goulash/Sebastian Gorka’s recipe
Ingredients
2 lbs. cubed stew beef (chuck)
5 tbsp. butter
I ½ cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
5-6 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoon whole caraway seeds
I teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper
2 lbs. potatoes - peeled and cubed
I cup green pepper, cored, seeded and diced
1 fresh tomato, chopped
Brown the beef in the melted butter and remove from pan then saute onion. When the onion is soft, add the paprika, stir briefly than return meat and juices to the pan. Add the caraway seeds, finely chopped garlic, and a small amount of cold water. Braise the meat slowly. If pan gets too dry add more water.
Just before the meat is tender (usually after about 1 1/2 hours of cooking), add the cubed potatoes, green pepper and tomatoes. Serve when vegetables are cooked through. There should be quite a bit of sauce but not enough to submerse the meat.
Serve with loaf of crusty white bread.
He said it was very important to add the caraway seeds. A couple posters on the site said they tried it and it was very good. A thought I had was to omit the potatoes and perhaps add sliced or baby carrots and serve over egg noodles (just because I love pasta of any kind).
Friday's Show-Guest-Nile Gardiner
Presently Works for The Heritage Foundation_Former ADVISOR to MARGARET THATCHER
He said what happened on the BREXIT Vote was that the People voted for Independence. The government Elites were wrong on what the people of England wanted. He said his former boss would have said, "You really need to listen to the HEART of the English People."
Nile and Laura agreed that Donald said the right thing that "Cameron was a nice man but he didn't get the MOOD OF HIS COUNTRY RIGHT "!
Nile was telling Laura that while he was riding in a London Cab Thursday a Cab Driver (Labor Member-to remain) said he was going to vote for BREXIT BECAUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA came over here and told us how to VOTE"!
The British people were furious that Angela Merkel was going to force them to take in 1.2 Million of the immigrantes she let into her country. And if they would have stayed in the EU Britain would have HAD to comply with her demand!
Laura and Nile agrees that England is in a POLITICAL REVOLUTION!
Nigel Farage the Leader of UKIP ( UK Independence Party)has ignited the movement and both think it is spreading ALL over the countries involved in the EU.
