    Dorito bread crumbs?

    I don't know for sure, but a couple of people I know have used Doritoes of various flavors as some kind of coating for chicken and it worked. I think it's probably best to make sure the chips are finely crushed and the idea to add cayenne pepper toward the end like Margaux said would help with...

    Joy Of Cooking vs. Good Housekeeping Cookbook

    That irritates me too, for example, cookbooks put out by food companies like Kraft that call for ingredients like "Velveeta cheese" in their recipies. They're pushing their products when all I want to do is to cook something. On the OT, this is a very hard choice, again, pick both. "Joy of...

    The Professional Chef Book. Is it worth the $$$?

    The link was down for me. I've seen the earlier edition, too, it's supposed to be some kind of bible for chefs. Hope it has the serving sizes adjusted according to the number of people, I will start looking for it at WalMart.

    CocaCola Float

    Vodka suggesstions are usually good suggesstions. I'd heard of the cocoa powder and milk, but I'd never heard that thwe milk should be hot, and that's probably why my coke floats seem off compared to ones I've had in restaraunts. Thanks, I'll definitely give that a try.

    Eisbein

    Okay, I'll admit that I had no idea what the **** eisben was until I read the title post. Sounds as though it'd be very good, like a classic German dish. Hmmm...a clay cooker and Chilean wine, that'll work.

    My Pyrex exploded

    Hey, the same thing happened to me when I was cooking some chicken in one of those blue Pyrex cookware. The only was only at 325 and it had beeb cooking for maybe thirty minutes. I opened the oven door to turn it, then about five minutes after that, it just broke right in the oven. It...

    Easy Crab-shrimp Casserole

    Hey, I've put sherry in seafood casseroles before, too (as well as in scrambled eggs). This recipie sounds wonderful, I'll give it a try soon, I've been looking for one without mayo, thanks.

    Is Chili A Soup?

    Same same, to me, chili has to have the red kidney beans. And be at least a little spicy. I don't have a cat right now, but my two Mastiff's love the chili. To the OP, another unoriginal answer: yeah, chili can be a soup that works as a main dish.

    Fund Raiser Cookbooks

    I don't think state sales tax has to be collected by a non-progfit organization, but my only real experience in this area has been back when I lived in Oregon. I do like these community cookbooks. Some of the recipies are somewhat simplistic and dated, but most of the authors of the recipies...

    Canned venison?

    I have absolutely no advice to give on this matter, just wanted to say that this is a question I'd never thought of before this thread. But, upon reflection, I don't see why you couldn't can venison, seems like an efficient way to preserve the meat.

    Martini Time Again!!!

    Not a traditional martini, but your invention really sounds good. I have to remember to check back in here to see how it went over for you all. Classic martinis for me have to be vodka rather than gin with the vermouth, your friend's lucky you're this thoughtful.

    Favorite thing to cook?

    ^Can't miss with green beans. As most of you, I like to cook just about anything. Holiday meals are fun because they're uncommon, but I'd say I like to cook Italian dishes the best, the blending of spices with pasta just intrigues me.

    Chicken Fried Steak

    The way you make chicken-fried steak is very similar to my method, auntdot. I always season it with white pepper, and you're spot-on about giving the coat of flour time to set. I've never used egg in this dish, but I can see how it'd work. I make the milk gravy with it because that's the way...

    Leftover coffee uses?

    I've never heard of most of these ways to reuse coffee grounds, thanks for all the info. The only uses I've ever tried for them was for fertilzer for house plants and to divine the future.:chef:

    Should I Refrigerate Salad Dressing?

    Ya, in agreeance with the other posters, refridgerate until an hour before use. Can't tell where you live, but I live pretty far north, and the temperature's cracked 95 for four days in a row.

    New section for Chocolate

    Not a bad idea, actually, there could be sub-forums for "milk chocolate", "dark chocolate", "white chocolate", it's a common ingredient in cooking. Reminds me I've been wanting to do a search for chocolate soup recipies, someone asked me about them, and I had absolutely no clue.

    Dogs in restaurants?

    I would have to say NO, no dogs (except guide dogs) should be allowed in restaraunts, this is coming from a breeder of Great Danes. They are technically a"working class" dog breed, and are fairly easy to train, but I don't think other patrons in the restaraunt would appreciated an enormous dog...

    Good cajun and/or blackening mixture

    Ya, self-made rubs are the best. I never know exactly what I'm getting when I use packaged seasonings. Good blackening seasoning mix there, I have made almost the exact blend, but used a little less thyme. I'll try adding more next time.

    Argentinian drink - Yerba Mate

    Thanks for the health tip, daisy. So it's a central nervous system stimulant, sounds like a morning thing then. I've never had it, either, think I'd heard of it but had no idea what it was. Interesting....

    Cooking in Friends' Kitchens

    Another here who's very territorial about the kitchen. I can not stand anyone to use my kitchen, and here people don't think twice about asking to use it. Once someone invited me to dinner and showed up at my front door with groceries, I was getting ready to go to their house. I let a couple...

    Salmonella infection from produce on the rise

    How to counter it, then? Wash the vegetables in very hot water? I had this infection once, and it was awful, I was hospitilized for five days. I got it from chicken in a school cafeteria. I knew you could get it by foods other than poultry and eggs, but I didn't think it was quite this...

    Lasagne mistake

    LOL, yeah, I'm interested in how this turn out, too. Trial and error, a proven method. Swiss cheese is often served melted, the texture might be a little off, but seems like the taste would be okay. Awaiting results....

    ISO Side Dish idea for steak & lobster

    Glad the dinner went well for you, bet it was delicious. Steak and lobster, yummmmmy...the side dishes are an afterthought IMO.

    Cookbooks

    It's good to know that this confuses other people as well. I never understood why they weren't interchangable, good thing they don't have that sort of attitude on foreign currency markets. But I have noticed that it's prevalent in cookbooks that have to be translated from, say, French to...
