Congrats on a great decision! I'm actually going to start school again next fall to get my RN as well. One thing I would suggest, though, would be to search around for a college that offers a 2-year RN program. They're a lot more scarce now than they used to be, but I found one and it's...

Can anyone share their Naan recipe? My family loves this stuff, but my dad and I both have been unsuccessful every time we have attempted to make it.

Chicken Alfredo is such a favorite of everyone- I imagine that it was very difficult for you to make this particular dish your own. If you want to alter your method just a little more, I would say to follow your plan exactly, only use the same pan you cooked your chicken in to make you sauce...

Yeah, washing chicken is more likely to spread bacteria, IMO.

If you can get ahold of a drip coffee maker with a good sized pot you're in excellent shape. Ramen noodles and those flavored rice packages are a breeze to maker in your coffee pot, and you can also cook frozen vegetables in there. Make use of your meal plan, if you have one- and use what you...

If you want to do something a little more edgy, I can give you a recipe for strawberry-balsamic cheesecake.

Anyone ever have to make this at home? I decided that i wanted to run ethernet line throughout my home, and decided to make my own cable as well. What an experience- network cable has got to be the most finicky stuff I have ever worked with- but here I am, 4 hours later, and I've finally got...

Cool thread- For those having trouble with tortillas, are you using manteca? For those with rice trouble, man I wish I could help. Basmati is almost the only rice I eat anymore and I have to admit, no matter what method I use to cook it has always turned out great. Smoke King- If you ever...

Secret ingredient- watermelon. It's more of a pico recipe than your average salsa recipe- but it's pretty much just watermelon, red onion, cilantro, lime, bottled hot banana pepper, a little mint, S+P. It's a great summer salsa because the watermelon just oozes freshness, and the flavor is...

If you're bored of basic cream sauce, try a jazzed up cream sauce. Lots of ways to introduce great flavors into reduced cream, including but not limited to: sun dried tomatoes, scallions, butter, stock/glace, butter, truffle butter, truffle oil, capers, lemon, olives, mushrooms, fish stock...

I'm not nuts about it, but yes, it's edible. May as well use it if you have it.

If you have enough, make mole.

I dunno what I'll be eating, but I'll definitely be cooking! There were some absolutely incredible deals at the store last night, and I ended up coming home with around 40 pounds of whole chickens and pork products- all of which I'll be breaking down soon. I'll start with the chicken, so I can...

I'm with uncle bob on this one- also, try scoring the fillet lightly. This can help with the curly. Not only will many fresh fish do this, but there are some species that just do this.
