- keep it simple for overseas folks!

KD - I don't mind as long as all of you don't mind answering seemingly simple questions when I don't understand a local, or Australian term.

I have to admit I laughed out loud from the visual of people milking raccoons to make "coon" cheese Grin

BTW - I've ordered a set of Aussi measuring spoons and cups so I don't have to convert your recipes to USA measurements.
Keep it coming

I have the same problem with American recipes, many items are not available Down Under so it is a matter of translating to an alternative.
I have several books published by IDOS and "Boondocker's Pie Iron Recipes" - I mean, what the heck is 'Sloppy-Joe Mix'?

I am sure the manufacturers of Coon Cheese wouldnt be happy with you KD suggesting I leave off their name - I am a true blue aussie ha ha even if of the heinz variety. One of our favourite cheeses is our NZ cousins mainland vintage cheese Cheesy

I use mostly whatever is around or if cooking for a specific event I like a combination of tasty, mozarella and parmesan.

Grizzly dont take us too serious we understand that some things need to be clarified and you might be even more confused at times as we wont all give you the same answer depending on our ages and location. Cheesy

I was lucky in that my Aunty married an american and my mothers visits educated us somewhat on "sticks of butter" and "jack cheese" and a few other things. Our favourite lollies (candy) she brought home were 1 lb packets of "Hot Tamales" and Seers chocolates.

I dont worry about different spoons or measurement cups as I mostly dont measure anyway Cheesy

That sounds a bit like Me Carolyn, Crazy Dog asked me to bring down my recipe book, as it is always in my head I always have it, and it is always a bit of this and a bit of that, very few measured measurements.

I like your camp potatoes Grizzly, and the idea of milking raccoons. Grin

Well a Sloppy-Joe is a sandwich served on a hamburger bun - the meat is cooked "loose" in a tomato based sauce. Think of spaghetti meat sauce thick enough to stack an inch thick...

Guess I'm a lot like you guys because I don't usually use packets of "mix" when I'm cooking, and am a firm believer in a hand full of this and a dash of whatever is on hand Grin

I did a quick search on Amazon.com and they have several different Sloppy-Joe mixes listed:
