Can you make dressings in advance and keep it refrigerated for long? This one takes too much time to make each time.... :glare: Ingredients: 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 2...

So I notice on alot of food network shows, alot of the different chefs like to use olive oil, and they have it in a clear glass jar. And alot of times when they use it, they keep pouring and pouring and pouring and almost half the jar is gone... i mean...isn't that kinda costly if you do that...

whoa!! thats a pretty informative looking site you have there on fishes. Bookmark!! =D

oh, I'm not too crazy about raw beef...I do like them rare done though with blood juicing out of it =D If you freeze the salmon, wouldn't it kill some of its flavor?

Is there a way to find out if the salmon you buy is safe to eat raw? Cuz there's all that risk of food poisoning or whatever from eating raw meat. I've had raw beef before too, is this stuff you just wanna do at restaurants or is it possible to do this at home too?

Man...this stuff is pretty strong. I didn't know how much half a teaspoon was, I only had a 1/4 tablespoon. I used a full spoon of that, and it looked like it was really little, so I sprayed more into the mixture. I guess now I know when they say it use so little cuz its strong I should stick...

lol. OK, thanks guys. Just had to make sure =D Problem solved! :cool:

I need heavy cream and whole milk. So...I couldn't find them in the grocery store. But I do have vitamin D milk at home that I use for cereal...is that the same thing? And for the heavy cream, I found heavy "whipping" cream. Is that the same as heavy cream?

****! Looks like I got ripped off. lol! :sad:

I saw a few links on google about making your own rose water, but I thought it would end up really lacking. And I didn't know how rose water is supposed to taste or look like. I'll definitely try making my own next time to see! It costed me 5.75 for 4 oz =o I don't even know how often I'll be...

I just found this! A local health store carries this but it didn't have a discription so I went to a different website. The ingredients are just purified water and natural rose oil....but it doesn't mention anything about using it for food...are they all like this? or is this not one for food?

I wanna try to make "Raspberry Rose Pots de Creme" from food network and it says I need rose water with a * next to it saying "Can be found at specialty gourmet markets." I have no clue where to look :sad: Anyone know where to find rose water? hopefully in the bay area D:

Dang...I this got kinda long...I been busy studying and being lazy, sorry if I'm bumping this up from the dead. I just went through these posts real fast, but I'll definitely go back and reread when my eyes don't feel like closing on me D: I just bought "Cook with Jamie, my guide to making you...

lol! so many replies =D I haven't tried many different kinds of foods to be honest, thats one of the reasons I wanna learn how to cook too. I'm asian, my grandma cooks in the family and its like mostly empty carb stuff. There is really little vegies too and no fruits at all in my diet :sad...

Where do you start? Cooking is so confusing.... :sad: I look at some recipes online and there's a whole bunch of ingredients I never heard of. Can I really find everything at Lucky or Safeway? Imma be so screwed when I move out alone and don't know how to cook good food....SCREWED!!!!!! I can...
