This doesn't answser your question but still food for thought and it semi-relevent here: I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is "sponge-ruiner." Because I wanted to clean it, and now I have little bits of sponge that...

I'm jealous. I love the Shun knives... Knives are the area I really can use an update to my kitchen gear. When I first started cooking, a set of knives was the first thing I went out and bought and I knew nothing of quality kitchen gear at the time. Now I don't exactly regret my choice, for...

I got that for Christmas and it is what I wanted. I read it cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed it. I now want "I'm Just Here for More Food" by Alton Brown. Its his book on baking that takes the same approach as this book.

If one thing can get me turned off about a restaurant other than the obvious (bad food, dirty place etc) it would be over-friendly waiters. Here in Houston we supposedly have more restaurants per capita than any other city in the US. That creates a lot of competition here in the food business...

helped a lot! thanks.

I got an email here at the site and responded to it. As there was a submit button as opposed to a send button I checked the sentbox and the response I typed was not there. I checked the outbox and it was there as if it was queued to be sent but had not been sent. So I am trying to figure out if...

I agree it is a good topic. Your question interested me enough to look into it myself :wink:

Masa harina is hominy treated with lime and ground to a meal called masa. When dried, it is referred to as masa harina. It is traditionally used for making corn tortillas and is used sometimes as a thickener.

What is the gripe about Anolon? I use stainless steel for most of my stovetop cookware, with a couple of cast iron pieces, but I have been thinking about an Anolon Omelette pan. I currently use a cheapie can't even remember the brand name non-stick pan for my Omelette pan and love it, but it is...

organize??? :shock: :shock:

Undercooking is also a factor. "To avoid stomach aches and flatulence, never eat a crunchy bean. Cook beans thoroughly. This breaks down indigestible enzymes present in raw beans. Soaking is also vital to happy digestion, which removes much of the indigestible sugar, (ogliosaccharides), in...

marmalady, that sounds good! I agree though, that is more of a pudding, no eggs so its not a custard. I think I may try this soon.

My father has a grind and brew coffeemaker, not sure of the model. He loves it and swears by it. I still stand by and swear by my french press.

Soaking beans does not eliminate the sugars that cause gas from beans, but it will reduce them. However, it reduces flavor also. For gas problems use Beano. I do soak my beans, I get a more desireable texture from beans that were soaked overnight but I use the soak water to cook the beans to...

I too have found myself without anyone that *really* enjoys food. Watching my gf cook is so hard. If you ask her what she is making, its 'stuff'. Its not bad tastewise, its just not good either, but there isn't usually any rhyme or reason to the ingredients in anything she makes other than she...

OK, here is mine, its alot of work but it is worth it! French Silk Pie Pie Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham crackers 1/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter Pie Filling: 1 cup unsalted butter (chilled) 1 1/2 cups sugar 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled 2 teaspoons vanilla...

Here in Houston it sometimes seems like everything is out of the way because the city is so spread out so I have a few restaurants I will drive 30+ minutes each way to go eat at, most noteably: Thai Racha for Kee Mau Wing-n-More for buffalo wings Napoli's for Pizza for lasagna Pho 21 for Pho Pho...

Kee Mau (Thai Drunken Noodles) but I actually prefer it with rice instead of noodles.

:D I'll be around. Its always nice to meet and talk to other foodies :wink:

Wyborowa, Grey Goose, or Chopin
