I just purchased "How to cook everything...". I'm excited to get cooking but I'm overwhelmed. I've looked through the entire book several times but can't figure out where to start or what to try. My friend suggested I start at the beginning and try everything once. Any suggestions? Ideas for a meal? Help!
I'm so excited about my new ice cream maker! I'm looking for the perfect recipe for my first batch. Any ideas? I open to anything (particularly a good base).
I'm having friends over for dinner on New Year's Eve. I'm thinking global here! I want to plan a menu of traditional New Year's foods. I'm thinking of noodles, donuts, eggs benedict... and of course champagne. I was thinking of doing individually made pizzas.
Keeping in mind that I am vegetarian but my guests are not. There will 4 people eating total.
Any ideas or even what you've had before or are planning to make.
I would be so sad if I suddenly became allergic to mangos. Maybe they make a shot for that?
I do not like PB&J or J or PB or bread with anything but butter (if it is toasted otherwise plain). The combination of textures and flavors just grosses me out...
I also don't like cake and ice cream together.
I was recently invited to a Taiwanese friend's house for cooking lessons. It was one of the most enlightening days of my life! She gave us tips and tricks for cooking many dishes. Like the boiling/cold water broth "trick".
Often when making a "stir-fry" I cut the vegetables in different sizes to make it have a nice appearance. My friend told me the veggies and meat should be the same size to cook at the same time and look nice. She also said my cutting was that of a 5 star chef...
I love learning new techniques and the reasoning behind them!
I'm not Jewish but I've attended many seders at a friend's house over the years.
I enjoy sparkling mineral water. I add lemon and lime. It quenches my thirst!
This takes about half and hour... http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2008/03/smoky-refried-bean-soup.html
Its a cross between chili and black bean soup. It is SERIOUSLY delicious.
My little sister wouldn't eat any meat that wasn't chicken. My mom would tell her the pork chops, fish, etc. were all chicken. My sister happily ate them. My sister is now 20, I think my mom secretly provided this information to my sister's boyfriend. Long life, it takes like chicken!
i'd miss broccoli the most!
Huh, wierd. I found out if i'm cutting/prepping mangos and i pick the rind up to eat the mango off it, I break out in a rash around my mouth. Almost feels burned (high acid?). If i skip the knawing it off the rind bit and use a fork to eat just the flesh, I'm fine.
Cast iron are too heavy for the common home user. It takes longer to heat, it's difficult to maneuver, their is a danger of rust etc. I can recommend the German brand Woll Cookware. Since I bought one in Germany 2 years ago, I was very happy with my titanium coated frying pan that performs with first rate cooking results, and it's also PFOA free. I can say that this is one of the best frying pans available. Heavy duty titanium based coating, practically can be used without oil, easy handling and cleaning. I couldn't find them in the US, maybe someone knows were they can be found? more information can be found at http://www.woll-cookware.com/mediathek/defaultScripts/PHP/index.php?lang=4&sn=noNav&sel=1&c=/export/English/doc/90.html or http://www.woll-cookware.co.il
I keep tellin you guys...Jif, Hellman's, Romaine lettuce on rye. Someone once dared me to try it and I've never been the same.
I miss Fluffernutters! It was a college staple of mine.
Crunchy PB (preferably all-natural with no hydrogenated oils), sliced banana and honey between slices of seven-grain or whole wheat bread.
Has anyone ever tried/made/know where to purchase peanut butter-banana ice cream?
Peanut butter and butter is good.
Peanut butter and honey is best with a sprinkle of wheat germ, especially when toasted in a skillet like grilled cheese.
Peanut butter and cream cheese is good too.
Peanut butter and Nutella...oooohhhh...
Even with "scientific ratios", we all have our favorite ways of doing PBJ! To toast or not to toast? ... depends on my mood. Rye bread is my favorite with apricot preserves. Ooohhhh! I had forgotten all about using marshmallow fluff. Yum. I never understood the use of butter with peanut butter. For those of you who did, or still do, eat PB accompanied by butter, I hope there is a cardiologist in your family!
I'm shocked no one has mentioned peanut butter and fluff! What could be better than cheap-o wonder bread, crunchy Skippy, and an equally thick layer of marshmallow fluff? My favorite!
