Gee Gals; Better your arteries than mine. Boy oh boy! You’re all aboard the Cardiac express! Geraldine Duncann The Questing Feast

Since everyone appears to have used different equations, then I assume it isn’t that crucial. I have always used 1 teaspoon baking soda for one tablespoon baking powder and it has always worked just fine. In addition to the acid, baking powder also has a non-clumping agent, like cornstarch...

Buttermilk-sour milk: You will usually find that when a recipe calls for buttermilk or sour milk, it also uses baking soda instead of baking powder. Baking soda needs acid to acitivate it, that's why buttermilk or sour milk was used. Baking powder is just baking soda with the acid already...

I am one of those strange people who loves buttermilk to drink. And hey, did you know that buttermilk is not milk that has butter added to it. Traditionally, buttermilk was what was left in the churn after making butter, therefore, buttermilk is basically, non fat milk. When I was a kid, you...

Hey; great question and has always been a bit of a quandary for me. I find that most people are not of any help in my kitchen and even worse when it comes to cleaning up. Helping before the meal I have solved by supplying an array of appetizers on coffee tables in the living room, and having a...

Bacon Fat: If you value your heart and arteries, you will put that bacon fat in a tin can and put it in the garbage. I have sometimes, mixed wild birdseed with it, frozen it and then put it out for the wild birds. They can use the fat to keep warm. Geraldine Duncann The Questing Feast

Cottage Pie is of course the English answer to good, cheep and quick: your leftover chopped up meat and vegetables, gravy and a mashed potato crust. Put in the oven until the potatoes begin to brown a bit. Yum. Cottage Pie if made with beef or pork, Shepherds Pie if made with lamb or mutton...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a Renaissance" person? The word Renaissance, means re-birth. The Renaissance period in European history was called the rennaissance because it was a time of discovery, expansion of thought and a sort of "human re-birth," from the narrow mindedness of the...

Leftovers usually work most admerably with: Pasta rice cous-cous as cottage pie or as a traditional meat pie but then my family never had any problem with leftovers. If it was good once it was good again and then again. I almost never had a leftover problem. They just got eaten.

Hi, I've been away for a long time. Unfortunatelly, some of the information you were given is incorrect. Masa Harina is a fine flour made from prepared dry corn. It is used to make the dough from which tortillas, tamales, sopes, gorditas and other such things are made. You can sometimes...

One morning a number of years ago, being tired of all the whole egg, (my mothers recipe always used whole egg) egg yolk, room temp, chilled, blender, mixer, beater, whisk, conflict and controversy over mayonaise, I made over a dozen batches, some whole egg, some egg yolk only, some egg white...

Of course I know that the mayo will emulsify with or without the mustard. My point was, that it wasn't the mustard that was keeping it from emulsfying. I use mustard, dry or prepaired in almost all my dressings, vinegretts etc.

My advise would be not to use a blender. A blender can cause the part of the dressing in the bottom to get far to hot and this can retard emulsifying. Dry mustard keeping things from emulsfying. Not hardley. I have been making my own mayonaise all my adult life and my mother before me and...

Dear Norma, I handle the special occasion but there's going to be little ones problem by, (and it makes it easier if there are more than one of them) setting the wee ones at their own special little table. I have always had juvinial furnature in the house, so, first I lay down a spill proof or...

Dear David, All that makes sence, and also perhaps this: Most of the cultures who do lamb or kid are medeterrarian, therefore by The end of march or early April, when Easter usually falls, it is lovely spring weather and of course lamb and kid would be available. However, in the Christian...

Dear K-elf, I'm wioth you! A special occasion should be a special occasion!!! And part of special is taking the time to celebrate your guests with the best you can offer within your means. If you are too busy or find this a pain in the butt, then let someone else do it. Too many people in...
