    Need some ideas for the menu...

    Hmm, there's an idea. As per charring, you'd be amazed what a good propane torch can do in the kitchen. Yes, I keep a propane torch from Home Depot in the kitchen... It does present some awesome possibilities as use in making edible sculptures... could combine with previous ideas and make a...

    Need some ideas for the menu...

    Serving 8-10 ANY difficulty (there's not much I can't do in a kitchen) As over-the-top presentation as I can muster (high presentation is key) As per date, would like to do it this weekend, but that's easily moved around. Now, I do have access to dry ice, but not liquid nitrogen. If I pull some...

    Need some ideas for the menu...

    The reason I want to do an 'above and beyond' dinner for them... My nieces both just hosted two different family get-togethers (with only a minimal amount of help from their parents, mostly just to get ingredients). One made broiled baby back ribs, a lo mein style noodle salad, hand made...

    Need some ideas for the menu...

    I am planning on doing a special dinner for my nieces. Problem is, the technical expertise of high end foods are generally lost on them. They are 9 and 12. If I'm looking to do a dinner with the primary purpose of trying to impress, what would be some good items for the menu. Appetizer...

    Happy Freaking 30th

    Thanks for the support, I hate no longer being able to not lie when I say I'm 20 something. Was intoxicated and upset at turning 30 last night. Regarding the pan, its a quite-expensive skillet that I received a year ago, actually (to the day, to be exact). Its not a 'walmart super saver'...

    Happy Freaking 30th

    I know, haven't posted in a while, no better place than this sub-forum here though. I'm highly intoxicated and 30 years old as of 3.5 hours ago. That said, to remain on topic to the general forum progression, anyone got any good ideas on how to remove carbon deposits from a teflon pan? Baking...

    Kahlua/Coffee Liquor Recipes?

    Ok, payday finally came (big delay in payments, at least I got 3 checks at once) and I just figured something out.... If you're insisting on brewed and not instant coffee like I am (I did a very small 1 cup batch of 8 different recipes, taste tested on day 2 of aging), and you go to make a...

    IN - Pulaski/Starke County

    This also applies to Star City, Rochester, Knox, etc areas. Since its my hometown, and one of those very out of the way places with limited food options, in the extreme event you do visit the area, I have 2 places to suggest... 1. This is the home of Pizza King. Its right on 35 on the north...

    Iron Chef Challenger: Citrus

    My input is just that, input. Sometimes things that don't go together can still be mixed in new and exciting ways. I used to work in a coffee house and I live in Florida. My family always has a pot of coffee brewed except the wee hours of the night, and we have a grapefruit, orange, lemon, and...

    Who Likes Beer?

    If someone came in and asked to swap you seats, pointing their name out, and told you about the way they do their 'around the world' for board and seat, you'd never come back? The place is very infrequently full, usually only during dart league nights (and then the visitors like to drag bar...

    Who Likes Beer?

    There's a place here in Tampa that does 'Drink 99 different beers in 90 nights to go around the world."... finishing in time (90 days) and you get your name added to their board. Do this 9 times, and you get your name engraved on a bar stool, and bar rules are you own that stool. This means if...

    Anyone like meads?

    I guess it belongs in wine, since its made like wine only using a honey mash in place of fruit juice. Personally, I love meads... my drink of choice. I like the ones where they are very smooth, but still have the flavor of the honey come through. I especially like good meads that are mulled...

    Iron Chef Challenger: Citrus

    I got started when I was 5... my grandmother had tried teaching my mother (oldest girl daughter) and then tried teaching the rest of her kids... none wanted to learn how to really cook. I was the kid that liked helping, and turned out I had a knack for it... at age 7 I came up with my own...

    Who Likes Beer?

    A reason to drink cheap, light beers that aren't particularly good, that need lime, orange, salt, or other additives to make them drinkable... Going to spend 12 hours in a pool hall, you know the manager, and he gives you a 50% discount on the pitchers if you get rid of some of the poor selling...

    Who Likes Beer?

    Because cold beer doesn't quite dissolve the salt all the way. Two on the first generally keep a little at the bottom when the beer is finished, when you refill off the pitcher, adding 2 more each time accumulates and if the beer gets warm at any point, more will dissolve, taking it from...

    Coffee gardening question

    Used coffee grounds are generally better straight on the plants, without composting. I've started several rose bushes off in nothing but pure grounds in place of soil. (Though I did add a dash of plant food.) If you make toddy, you'll know where how I got that much! Recipe for Toddy...

    Who Likes Beer?

    Might as well chime in.. When out at the pool hall for hours, I'll do two pitchers of Coors Light. I'll put two salt packets in the first pint out of the pitcher, and add a salt packet every time I refill. When hanging out with friends, I'll either drink whatever is available, or get a 'make...

    What brand of tequila do you like?

    Personally, since I live in Tampa, which has a very high amount of latin community, I get bottles of tequila that come straight from Mexico. Going to the produce market (30th and Hillsborough Ave), which is run by 90% mexicans, you can usually ask around and find someone that knows someone whom...

    Kahlua/Coffee Liquor Recipes?

    I didn't mean to sound upset, was trying to make it obvious the responses went the wrong way to hopefully stimulate the answers I was looking for (before it hit more than a page in, since most people read the first page only before replying). As per my recipe, haven't tried it yet (waiting on...

    Kahlua/Coffee Liquor Recipes?

    Sigh, three responses that read the title but not the post, and if they did, they skimmed it. I'm looking for recipes to MAKE kahlua not that include kahlua. . As a response to the three that offered advice on what to do when I make it, white russians, or mix it into brownies or chocolate cake.

    Kahlua/Coffee Liquor Recipes?

    Ok, I received for Xmas this year a bottle of home-made "Kahlua" from a friend. I decided to search the 'net to see how easy it is (since my best friend's favorite drink is a white russian), and found its REALLY REALLY easy to make kahlua-like liquor, for a fraction of the cost. Now, with the...
