    Boring salmon cakes needs a kick in flavor!

    I've been making salmon cakes for the past three years which has been a great meal option for my weightlifting diet. I love to eat them with loads of Tabasco sauce on the side because I'm such a hothead. But lately I've been wondering if there's any way I could add more flavor to my salmon cakes...

    Salmon, onion and tomato soup

    Any idea how to make this? I came across this Flickr photo when I Googled salmon recipes. Looks sooooo good. :rofl: Is it as simple as it looks - pieces of baked salmon thrown into a onion and tomato soup?

    What is a hard-anodized skillet?

    I just bought one at Bed Bath Beyond since it was the only skillet with in my price range. How does it compare to stainless steel and regular non-stick pans?

    Problem with browning potatoes

    Lately, I've been having a problem browning some packaged breakfast potatoes. I use plenty of oil (unless there's something as using too much oil) and I'm cooking on high heat. Maybe it's something to do with my pan?

    Ground beef turned brown in the freezer

    And I didn't even cook it. Is this normal? I just separated a pound of ground beef in half, cooked one half, and froze the other. Also, how long is frozen beef good for? I think I left mine in for 2-3 weeks.

    What type of white wine do you recommend for cooking?

    I rarely drink so my alcohol knowledge is limited. I was using the cheap cooking white wine until I started realizing the aftertaste as well as the amount salt in it. I'm also looking to keep it relatively cheap. Any particular brand you care for? Thanks for your help.

    How long are potatoes good for?

    I bought a bag of red potatoes about a week and a half ago since I eat it so often. I assumed that it didn't need any refrigeration so I just left them out on the counter. How much longer do they have?

    Frozen chicken - how long is it good for?

    I immediately froze up some chicken cutlets about three weeks ago. I'm sure it's still OK to eat, but would you rather throw it out?

    ISO Spicy tomato sauce for pastas

    Not sure if this is generally the same as an arrabbiata sauce that was posted in an earlier thread. I've been to a number of Italian restaurants as well as one Portuguese restaurant that have used a spicy tomatoey sauce for their pasta, usually with clams and mussels. The weird thing is, I...

    Name this dish

    I had this amazing dish at a restaurant in North Carolina called Bonefish Grill. I didn't realize it was a franchise restaurant until I Googled it. For some reason, I wasn't able to locate the particular dish on their menu. Not sure if it's their own speciality, but this dish was sort of like...

    How to properly cook sausages

    Cooking meats is something I still haven't caught on since I started cooking, and sausages are usually a hit or miss. I'm aware that pork has to be cooked thoroughly so I do cook them for some time, and end up coming out dry or tough. What I usually do is cook up a couple of links of sausage...

    Need help finding food for temporary dog

    So, my brother was supposed to take care of the dog at the owner's home but because of personal issues he's left the responsibility with me. The dog is a small terrier of some sort. My brother brought with him a container of small kibbles with a few liver treats in them which are supposed to...

    Tell me you're drooling...

    I ran into this blog after I Googled "English grilled tomatoes" at 5:30 this morning. I got so removed asterisks hungry I just grabbed some crackers I had at my side just to fulfill my temptations. :mad: I especially recommend to scroll a quarters way down where you'll notice muscles in a red...

    Froze chicken twice

    I bought some chicken a couple of weeks ago but I only used about a third of it and put it in the freezer. I defrosted it a few days later but then I changed my mind and refroze it again. Is the chicken still good? I also don't think I'll use all of it the next time around so I'll still have a...

    I can't make salmon anymore

    Simple, simple stuff but somehow I've forgotten how to prepare baked salmon correctly. I don't do anything except placing a few lemon slices on the salmon and then I just throw in the oven. Usually, at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes is all I need but the last two times it wasn't cooked all the...

    No eggs or dairy

    I have a certain digestive condition called IBS that's prevented me from eating eggs and dairy. I have no problem avoiding these two things when it's lunch or dinner, but I can't think of many options for breakfast. Also, I gave up lactose-free milk the past week and I think my symptoms have...

    Hard Shrimp

    I made pasta with shrimp and pesto sauce last night but the shrimp turned out to be pretty tough and chewy when I finished the dish. Might I have cooked the shrimp for too long? There's also a possibility that I cooked them not long enough (or rather not properly) because with all the lemon...

    Would I be able to get by with an "efficiency kitchenette"?

    I'm looking for an apartment in Boston and one of the places I came across was an "efficiency kitchenette" that featured a microwave, fridge, hotplate, and a toaster oven. So there's no regular stove/oven. You think I could make some simple meals like baked salmon in the toaster oven? FYI, the...

    What's all this white stuff on my salmon?

    I don't remember this happening the first few times I made salmon, but I've been noticing some white goo on the sides of my salmon. Is it fat? Does it usually appear when I've overcooked the fish?

    What goes with Chili?

    Some of you might feel satisfied after a bowl of chili, but I don't find it that filling. What do you usually eat it with? I'm not looking for anything too fancy. I can think of just laying it over some rice or eat with some bread.

    Afraid to eat self-cooked chicken

    I must have a phobia or something but I can't seem to get myself to eat any dish I've made myself that contains chicken. I'm sure if anybody looked at it it's cooked just right, but I can't calm down about it. Not even if I disguised it with tons of sauces or whatever do I think I could bare...

    How do you cut down on the number of pots to use?

    I have two pots boiling up water right now, one's smaller than the other. The small one's for my frozen vegetables and the bigger one is I'm using first for potatoes and then for 1-minute rice. Then I'm using either a pan or the oven to cook up some salmon. This probably doesn't seem that...

    How long is salmon in the fridge good for?

    I got a couple half pound slamon fillets a couple of days ago, ate about three quarters and saved the rest of it in the fridge. How long is it good for? I just had salmon two times in three days so I want to give it a rest.

    Dishwasher caused a sink clog

    I left the dishwasher on overnight and woke up this morning to find the adjacent sink filled with water. There's definitely nothing in the sink that's clogging it so it must be caused by the dishwasher from accumulating food scraps. Before just a few months ago, I've never had or used a...
