Focaccia, the Easiest Homemade Bread
I made it with my friends on sunday - my first time baking bread! We topped the focaccia with fresh rosemary, dried mixed herbs, garlic cloves and olive oil. It was amazing! The thinner version (spread on a baking sheet) yielded better results though. :)

I just had a cup of hot tea with a teaspoon of condensed milk. bliss.
Gordon Ramsay Is Not a Jerk; He Just Plays One on American TV
How come the American talkshow hosts seem to enjoy being "funny" and talk all kind of nonsense and act stupid when they invite Ramsay over to their show? I just watched 2 different talkshows via SE and they were pretty unbearable - the hosts i mean. Gordon Ramsay was genuinely interested in the cooking and they weren't.

The Whole Wheat Big Mac
I would like to try how different it is with wholemeal buns, but normally I wouldn't order Big Mac as I find it hard to bite all at once. A cheeseburger would suffice for me.
Oh, and once I saw someone ordering a value meal with diet coke and no-salt fries!

Dinner Tonight: Broccoli Sautéed with Crisp Garlic
i grew up eating Chinese-style broccoli with oyster sauce at home.. so i was looking at ways to recreate broccoli - without oyster sauce - and my heart dropped when i read that the *star* was oyster sauce.
:(

My favorite recipe consists of a couple of spoonfulls of sugar, condensed milk and 7up.
Put the sugar in a tall glass add some condensed milk. Stir the mixture and then add the 7up or coca-cola.

I think Ramsey is a real jerk. I was watching an episode of "The F Word" on BBC America. During the opening he introduced the two new chefs in the kitchen. One he described as " ...a 22 year old American girl from Los Angeles". Then, right after saying that, one can hear Ramsey's voice overdubbed saying "Unfortunately". Like the jerk added the insult in the editing room!
I thought about if for a second and then deleted all his shows from my DVR, and all future recordings. If the Scottish twit wants to pick on American girls, he can kiss my ass. What a freakin' loser.

The Whole Wheat Big Mac
you know whole wheat or no whole wheat.......I would totally eat one of those if you could ever get one that looked like it came from the same planet as the one in that picture!?
and as for the diet vs. reg. cola, a supersize regular coke has the same amount of calories as the damn burger does....and its HFCS. so yeah, diet for me!

I second crisp, golden, burn-your-fingers-hot churros dipped in condensed milk!

cucumberpandan: Happy tasty trials, indeed! I see an avo shake with lashings of espresso and sweet, creamy condensed milk in my near future... probably this weekend =)
The Whole Wheat Big Mac
Why do I find this incredibly hilarious? I guess if I'm going to eat a Big Mac, I can at least feel better about the nutrition content of my bread....

The Whole Wheat Big Mac
Given that Kelloggs has had whole grain Cocoa Pops, Frosted Flakes, and so forth for several years, I'd say that McD's is actually behind the curve on this trend.
I've just never understood the Big Mac. I grew up eating McD's A LOT, and everyone that got the burgers got either the Quarter Pounders (with or without cheese) and the tiny burgers. Never Big Macs. Still don't get the idea of mayo on burgers....
The Whole Wheat Big Mac
So it's on "whole wheat", which in commercial bread means SWEET BROWN COLORED BREAD.
The Big Mac is already too sweet with all that sugary gloppy sauce.
And now they make it actually sweeter, but less salty? YUCK!
If they want to introduce a better bun, look at the Ciabatta buns they offer at Jack in the Box.

Actually no, Lisa, I didn't take chemistry in high school ;)

No Salt Fries = Fresh out of the Oil Fries. Add your own salt :)

You can make brigadeiros, Brazilian chocolate caramels, yum yum yum. Empty a can of condensed milk into a saucepan over low heat and stir in a tablespoonful of butter and 3 tablespoonsful of cocoa. Cook until thickened. Let cool until cool enough to handle. Butter your hands, roll into small balls, and then roll caramels in sprinkles, chocolate shot, or sweetened flaked coconut.
You can also dip your churros in sweetened condensed milk, too!

Just tried an avocado shake, had a ripe 'cado available and whipped it up with condensed milk and ice but needed to add some normal milk as it got too thick to blend. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar over it and it was like eating a green pudding - delicious. Next time I will try a dairy free version made with coconut milk.

@onedaylingers: the coffee-laced avocado shake (and don't forget lots of SCM, of course) is out of this world, IMHO :) Sadly many vendors here have taken to replacing the coffee with chocolate syrup -- it just adds to the sweetness without creating any depth or another 'dimension' of flavor. (Or maybe they just use cheap chocolate syrup ...)
So for the one fortified with coffee, it's always homemade. Since you're already making your own espresso, it's the perfect ingredient. Add the espresso (or strong brewed coffee) in small increments first, you don't want the coffee to overwhelm the avocado -- add just enough to create a mellow 'dark & smoky' balance to the sweet creaminess of the avocado and SCM. Happy tasty trials ahead!

Evaporating and condensing milk are both similar. In both you are removing water and other volatiles.
Remember your simple chemisty where you set something over a bunsun burner with a twisty, water-cooled condenser above to return the "steam" back into water phase ... that liquid was called condensate?
Anyway, obviously, the sweetened condensed also has added sugar. For some reason I don't know, they call the other concentrated milk without sugar 'evaporated' milk.
I don't think it has anything to do with adding sugar to make it denser or heavier, IMHO.

Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk are two completely different things, and you better make sure which one you need for your recipe!
Grocery Ninja: What to Do With Condensed Milk
I simmer 5 or 6 at a time in a big pot for 4 to 5 hours, make sure you keep it covered with water, when it cools you can keep them in the fridge for several months. You can use as caramel topping, or put a can in a graham crust and top with coolwhip, great fast dessert, very rich. For the people that keep saying condensed or sweetened condenced??? they said SWEETENED condensed several times in the article and they even put a picture. Wake up people!

There seems to be a bit of confusion over names and some of it may come from where you were introduced to the product and where a product was packaged.
Here's a good example: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/ConMilk.htm

cucumberpandan: The murtabak manis looks out of this world! We have something similar (but nowhere near as decadent) in Singapore with the same type of "honeycomb" pancake enveloping thick, rich peanut paste. Yums =) I now need to visit Jakarta so I can try tape singkong!

shozgirl: Your recipe sounds like it would make excellent an energy booster for long runs/hikes/biking and kayaking trips. Thanks!

cucumberpandan: Avo milkshake with lashings of coffee sounds intriguing—now I'm stuck at the office wondering how the bitterness of coffee would play up against the slightly vegetal creaminess of avocado!
