A friend of mine believes she read that the human body gets more nutrition from oatmeal made from steel-cut oats than from oatmeal made from rolled oats or, for that matter, rolled oats eaten in other ways. She was specifically referring to the cholesterol benefits. All the information I have been able to find suggests that nutritional differences are negligible. But that information doesn't seem to address any studies that may have been done about how the human body absorbs or uses those nutrients and any specific effects on cholesterol. I know there are a few nutrition hounds on SE. Anyone have information?
In another thread, someone's question of where to buy Thanksgiving supplies in Paris seemed way too easily answered: a store called "Thanksgiving." I remember the days when being an American abroad at Thanksgiving meant hunkering down with fellow Americans and cobbling together a Thanksgiving meal. Does anyone have any good stories? Plans for this year?
Because they looked good and I had never experimented with them, I bought a package of fresh (not dried) rice noodles. Shrimp noodles to be exact. They come in a package stuck together in one near-solid mass. How do I get them to separate? I tried simply putting the whole mass in a pot of boiling water, but they don't separate. And no matter how gently I prodded them to try to coax them into separating, they just broke apart into bits rather than separating.

"No beef" was specified, so "Boognese" is out.
Okay, I'LL take one for the team and drink the leftover two cups.
