Hi people, I have been away for a while, but back in the kitchen again. Good to see you. Questions... What is going on with the price of Lemons? Out here is Utah, which is not all that far from California by the way... Lemons are in the $0.79-to $0.89 range. 90 cents for a lemon... get real...

Looking for your favorite, tried and true Feta cheese Marinades... a little spicy is good. thanks

Hi Guys/Gals... I'm back... long time no post because I was considerably diverted, as they say, I was overtaken by events. Among my recent travels I ran across a braised tri-tip dish. I thought it was great. I have barbecued Tri-Tip frequently using a marinade and lots of garlic. It turns out...

I need some ideas for fantastic Tuna Steak... whats your best?

Wife somehow got 20 seconds to be 20 minutes in the microwave, on a plastic tray of au gratin potatoes. Once the flames were out, and the smoke gone... we were left with a "smokey" smelling microwave. We have cleaned up the unit and all around the kitchen, but there remains a pretty powerful...

I like to think of myself as a good, adventuresome, creative cook, maybe even gourmet/gourmand, at least my friends call me that. But... I do not like Offal, Sweetbreads, Haggis, Organ Meat, Game, Small birds like pigeon and quail, Sushi, Sashimi, or even Caviar... does this disqualify me a a...

I have a confession, of sorts. I have never tasted Rainbow or German Brown Trout. I would appreciate someone's attempt to profile the flavor. Since they are both salmonids I was wondering if they bear a resemblence to the Salmon we are familiar with? I realize it would be easy to just buy some...

OK, I think I know what you are going to say, but just let me put it on the table for discussion. Say you look in the fridge and pull out the tupperware container with a block of cheddar cheese in it. There is a spot or two of the familiar green and beige mold. Ummm. Do you cut it off and...

I have some nice pork ribs, trimmed St. Lois style, and am thinking crock pot. Web search reveals several recipes, some with broil first, some with brown in skillet, then into crock pot with onions and other fixins cover with BBQ sauce. Anyone have other suggestions, variations, refinements...

I like making bread in the bread machine. I dislike buying the boxes of mix even though they are good and successful. Any great scratch recipes for the machine? OBTW mine is the smaller 1 pound size.

The other night Alton Brown was doing a show on deep frying a turkey. After the cooknig was done he said you could just pour the peanut oil in your yard- after all, he said, it is biodegradeable. I was wondering if olive oil- being also a vevetable product is also biodegradeable. I have a very...

I love pickles- heck, I like just about all things in vinegar- like olives etc. I have been trying for several years to make home made dill pickles. I have tried several recipes from sources that ought to be reliable. The results are never what I wanted. I have thought they were way too...

I like El Pollo Loco's chicken. But, alas, we do not have them where I live. I have looked on the web and found two recipes, repeating across many different site- each acting like they invented it... go figure... But has anyone actually made a roasted or grilled chicken somewhat like theirs?

Just returned from the grocery. It is a nice place too. Fun, friendly and well stocked... of course they sell water there by the pound. They spray those veggies more than regularly- call it frequently... and the wetter it is, the more we pay. It might be Bok Choy, Spinach, Lettuce, peppers...

This is a really off-the-wall subject and request... My wife and I had a restaurant back in the late 70's. It was a fun place, casual gourmet- we played lots of jazz and had a good time. When it was clean up time we played a tape of an album by the Roaches, and there was a song... I think the...

We found this very fresh roadkill at the bottom of the canyon today... Medium sized doe... likely 100 pounds or so of fresh venison there. Anyone have any clues about cleaning this beast and recipes? As you can tell I am not too familiar with wild game, but hey, lets give it a try...:smile:

I have houseguests and yesterday I made a pot roast in the crockpot. We all thought it was pretty good. They said they were going to get one too. I was looking at some recipes for them to use and I ran across one that said I could cook a pork shoulder in the crock pot- dry. This seem right to...

Hello all. I am living in a house that has a septic tank. So far- no problems. I have been advised not to put too much into my garbage disposall. Also not to put too much grease down there. On the web it says the biggest problem with a septic system is too much laundry, actually the man-made...

I put up some pickle spears a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I opened the jar ans tasted them. Great flavor, but wow! these things are sour and way too salty. I was using "standard" recipes, regular white vinegar, and non-iodized salt. the ratios were, water= 1.5 cup vinegar= 0.5 cup salt=...

Looks like I will have a bumber crop of jalapeno peppers this year. Anyone with experience in pickling these little jewels?:lol:

I just made a batch of Pickle Spears as per the directions at McCormak spices. Pretty straight forward except that they do not say how long after putting them up they have to age on the shelf. Any of you pickle expers out there have a tip for me?:huh:

I save jars... can't seem to help it. When I empty a pickle jar or olives, or just about anything, I wash it and put it in a safe place. Am I alone? What do you do with your empty jars? I use mine to mix and store salad dressing. I put unused portions from a can of black olives in them- keep...

OK, I admit it... I was born in the Mid-South, and lived there and in the East all my life. Back there the beef cattle do not have tri tips. I moved to the west and apparently out here they do. What is a tri tip, and how do you cook it?

We are beginning to start, to think about a relocation from Utah to possibly Denver area. I would enjoy hearing the positives and negatives about the smaller cities north and south of Denver proper. I hear a lot of talk that Denver is way too crowded. Since I am retired, except for a few...

Have you ever cooked a pork loin roast... one of those big boys, that are very lean- looks like the inside of a pork chop but without the bone? In a crock pot? I am wondering if it would get all tender and pull apart-y. Since there is so little fat maybe it would not get tender- what do you...
