    Chocolate in Chili

    I usually throw in an ounce of semi-sweet baking chocolate in my chili. It adds a depth of flavor that I really like. You can't taste it as chocolate, but it gives it a certain bit of richness that works for me. It's more of a flavor enhancer than a flavor unto itself.

    What is this?

    I doubt it's a medical object... simply because the cone comes together. Any biological instrument as suggested would need both ends open - this does not have that. I don't know if it's a cooking object, but if it is I think it would either be a mold or a carrier.

    How do you butter your corn on the cob?

    Usually I cut the corn off the cob. I had braces on my teeth when I was younger and because of that I hate corn in my teeth. Before that I used a fork.

    Deep Fried Thoughts

    These are very good. I tried making them once at home and I was very pleased with the results. Being from the PNW, sweet potatoes aren't a regular item in the pantry. However once I moved 'down south' so to speak, I have experimented more with them. You can do either sweet potato fries or...

    ISO a Potato Masher

    I actually use my hand mixer. If I'm making a big batch I'll use my stand mixer. I used to use ricers for ages but got tired of them. Beat the heck out of them long enough with a mixer and you'll get a good product. Riced potatoes are good for absolutely lumpless potatoes, but one thing I've...

    Oatmeal Cookies are the bane of my existence!

    A good alternative to raisins are raisined cranberries. I'm not a big fan of raisins so the dried cranberries are extra good to me. :smile:

    Butter or Margarine

    LOL.... cool. I think I've learned more about margarine and butter than I thought possible. The "rendered animal carcass fats" is enough to keep me away from margarine if nothing else. Eugh. :lol: And now I know I can keep calling it butter spread. :chef:

    Butter or Margarine

    Yes I know, but it tastes more 'buttery' than any of the others I've tried. Plus at least it does say 'butter' on it. :wink:

    Butter or Margarine

    I grew up with stick butter. I use stick butter for my baking typically - especially pastry, can't do that with margarine. However for every day eating I use "Land O Lakes light butter" in the little plastic tub. I used to use margarine until I found out the issue with trans fat being far...

    Butter or Margarine

    Butter. More versatile and useful. Plus with the transfats in margarine you may as well use shortening.

    So what exactly are "processed foods"?

    I was surprised to see wine listed in the same sentence as chicken nuggets. But then the grape is nothing like it was off the vine once it comes out of the bottle... kinda like the chicken. :biggrin:

    Tilapia... Whats Your Opinion?

    I did some tilapia last night. Did it in a pasta primavera with some onions, mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes in a light cream sauce over linguine on a bed of fresh spinach. To me its uses are almost endless. It's nice because it's a lot like chicken in that it's almost a blank palette to...
