We made a simple recipe for Mango Shrikhand from India using yogurt, a little milk, mangoes, sugar, cardamon/nutmeg. It's pretty simple, you just strain the yogurt in cheesecloth for 6 hours (I used a coffee filter) and then you mix in the other ingredients. It was ok, but was wondering if...

my friend gave me some duck fat that comes in a fancy package so I can make something for our next card game night. She says that a lot of restaurants fry french fries in such, also suggested making potato pancakes with it. What else do you suggest that I make?

I am referring to the indian dessert, I think it's full name is gajar halva. This is where you cook down the shredded carrots with condensed milk and add cardamon and almonds and such. Can I subsitute like hemp milk or soy milk for that condensed milk? Or will it not work? I might add some...

I'm a little confused. I was going to bbq shrimp in the shell but at the last minute decided to simply place it in the broiler in the oven. I cooked it about 4 minutes on one side and then about 2 or 3 on the other. It was certainly fully cooked. But the shells reallly did not peel off very...

Hey does anybody know if these can be frozen? They seem to be on sale at the local shopper's food and thinking of putting some in my freezer. ANy special technique for doing this?

Hi everyone: I am making dessert for a friend of mine and she is very careful what she eats. I am going to try to avoid any eggs and will try to minimize on creme. I made a sweet potato pie that she ate and it had a little creme but not sure if she just tolerated for my sake. She does keep honey...

My dad's old girlfriend was pretty smart and knew alot about food and she told me one tip she learned when buying like chicken and pork was to tilt the package and see if the juices (watery red stuff) flowed downward, a lot of liquid like that was a bad sign. I asked some meat guy about it and...

I am a bit confused. I went into Shoppers yesterday looking for pumpkin pie filling and the guy tells me that they havent had a supply since last christmas although they might get some any day now for the fall. I went to Safeway and the guy tells me the same story there was a problem at the...

I had this bottle I just opened and left on the shelf for like maybe a month, not really a long time. But when I opened the lid, it came off with a loud pop and I wondered if that indicated a build up of something bad or just maybe the way it came off. I think I had opened it up previously. I...

I had an irritating experience the other day. I bought fresh rosemary and fresh Bay leaves you know those kind that come in plastic rectangular things. I was thinking that like the Bay leave I get in the little jars these herbs would keep w/o further ado. Like the rosemary in jars seems to be...

I am going through a period of making breads: zuccinni bread; carrot cake and banana bread. they all use basically the same recipe including using 2 tps baking powder and 1 tsp of baking soda. the other day i was wondering what would happen if I left out the baking soda as I have seen other...

Sometimes I use sweetened condensed milk when the recipe calls for sugar and I am out of sugar. How do I convert one cup of sugar say into how much sweet condensed milk? Tx.

what exactly is the difference here? The guy at the butcher shop said that you can do spare ribs via par boiling and then grill or broiled but not the country ribs. This seems to be true as my father would always do his spare ribs with sauer kraut, potatoes etc in a simmering pot. I tried this...

got some extra pineapple and some pear juice. I wanted to make somethign w/o the fruit chunks but with the juice alone. Using sugar, flour, milk etc of course. You know I thought there was like broken glass cake or something like that out there but I didnt find it in a quick search. Can you make...

I think it's called PUnjab Spinach sauce and I think the TJ's label is on the bottle. I used the entire bottle to make a casserole out of chicken breast and squash, onions and red peppers and some garlic. Trouble is this sauce is almost tasteless I really felt nothing of the spinach and no real...

This is a pretty nice bottle of Kame brand. If I recall correctly, refrigeration seemed to separate the oils from the water or something. However I found an unopened bottle in my friends fridge that they didnt want. It did not appear to be in any danger of separating like that So what the...

Got about a quart left over after making red velvet cake. What can I do with it? Other than coat food and fry it...

I made the mistake of getting the slow cooking oatmeal, not the ones that cook up in 3 minutes. Anyhow, they seem to boil over all the time. I put them in the microwave and it made a mess; I tried using a bigger tub so I used a 2 quart plastic and they still climbed over the side and spilled...

Picked up about 7 or 8 of these on sale. They are the typical consumer brand, I think they are hormel in 12 oz sizes. MIght be easier to store in the freezer but would this mess up the texture? Thx.

Got some leftover garlic sauce from papa john's pizza. Has anyone made thjis into anything? I guess I can put it on bread and make garlic toast..What about with vegetables? Thx.

I had a bunch of this so I am stir frying most of it for my dad and wife but I am also pounding out some of it for my six year old to soften it. I intend to broil it. Her teeth are not quite in and she doesnt like real chewy things. YOu'd think stir fry would be great for her situation but she...

I dont want to sound like a TJ's basher because I like their curry sauces and the seasoned fish and some of the asian stuff like the soyaki sauce. But has anyone tried these Lagostino shrimp guys? They come in a frozen package and the package as well as the guy at the store said to serve them...

I picked up some of this stuff on sale at Giant. it is pretty good, almond is not overpowering but subtle; we use it for making hot sandwiches in one of those griddle/sandwichmakers. Anyhow the can is open and in the fridge. How long will it keep like that?

My friend Dav wants to know if he can cook a steak in his microwave/convention oven. Despite the efforts of friends to convince him otherwise he wants to try this. Here is the gist of his question and he can join in later if he joins our site: "It's a microwave/convection oven, and it came...

I made these the other day and they came out very nice although very messy in the fryer.... I coated long rectangular mozzarella sticks with: flour then beaten egg and heavy cream mix finally bread crumbs. My grandma used to add a little milk to the egg mixture and sometimes this helps to...
