I don't watch them - ever. In my opinion, they are usually a bunch of folks who don't want to get real jobs, trying to make a living off the internet. Most times, these wanna-be 'influencers' don't have any real cooking skills or training. Just looking for a way to make an easy buck on ad...

If they are kept frozen, they won't actually spoil. But the quality will deteriorate. "Freezer Burn" doesn't make something unsafe, it dries out the flesh and messes up the texture. So while they won't harm you, the shrimp may seem dry and/or tough. Vacuum packaging or other airtight method...

I LOVE calf's liver. Although I don't usually cook it with onions. I prefer a fruity gastrique, especially cherries and almonds.

I just had my second eye done last week (the first one was 3 weeks earlier). At the surgery center, 2 different people each made a mark with magic marker over the correct eye (both the nurse and the surgeon). It was extremely difficult to wash off later, especially since I couldn't get water...

I study wine. I used to knit, sew, crochet, needlepoint, etc. My fingers no longer work like they once did. Years ago, I took piano and organ lessons. Now that I'm retired, I hope to take up the keyboards again. I used to play golf, but its been many years....

What is in it? Please explain.

No. A super taster often is seen as a “picky eater”. They have many more taste buds per sq inch in their tongue, and they are usually extremely sensitive to heat, sweet, sour, etc. they often prefer their food on the bland side. They rarely make good sommeliers. Super in this case is not...

Over ground - over mixed - over baked. And always use fresh nuts. Any nut will do, but the flavor will be different for each nut. I usually use almonds or walnuts. We all have our favorites. What nut was used in the ones you had at the market? Don't pulverize the nuts. You are not...

I have a Bamix . Before that, I burned through 2 different immersion blenders. The Bamix has never failed me. I’ve had it about 10 or 15 years. I would never buy anything else

For the style of cooking i do, I could probably do most things with a good skillet and a mid size saucepan, and those are the two I use most. Like everyone else here, I have quite an accumulation of pots and pans. But these days, cooking for only 2, I frequently just sear the protein, a...

WOW! Renowned! (how come google has never heard of you?) Over a decade! (most of us here have 5,6, or 7 decades of experience.) Another wanna-be "influencer" looking for clicks. Sorry, but I've gotten rather cynical of all these folks trying to make money on social media instead of...

In the US, the terms are interchangeable. We also call it confectioner's sugar. In other countries, that may be different.
