    Water Removal from Honey

    Merry Christmas everybody! I have a question that google has not provided me an answer with: how do you remove water from honey? I had a quart of honey that (long story) while decrystallizing it mixed with the water in the pot and now I have some very weak honey... How can I get the water...

    Attempting a good chili

    My wife entered me into a chili cook-off and I am going to play around with your recipe, it sounds great! However, where do you get off calling it chili when there's no beans??? :-) Just kidding, it sounds like you put a lot of work/time into perfecting your chili and I am more than willing to...

    Tamale Pie

    How are you making your masa? I don't know if this will help but when making tamales you need to mix the masa until it is light enough that, when a tablespoon is dropped into a bowl of water, it will float. If it does not float then you haven't "whipped" the masa enough to allow a good amount...

    Favorite Cabbage Recipes

    So I have a head of regular old cabbage that I need to use soon. After going through 20-some-odd pages of threads I couldn't really find anything that caught my interest so I was hoping that some of you could help a brother out and post your favorite cabbage recipes!

    What did you eat at your wedding?

    My wife and I did not want to have a stuffy wedding, we wanted people to feel comfortable to come to the reception in shorts and t-shirts (since that's what we were going to be wearing) so we had a luncheon in my parent's backyard. The night before I prepped/burried the pig and potatoes (and...

    Magazine Subscriptions

    I really don't know if I'm posting this in the right spot, so if I'm not please move me (Mods)! Anyway, I just came across a site for magazine subscriptions that has unreal prices. They might not seem that great at first but then look at the price for 2-4 year subscriptions... The site is...

    Yet another cast iron question (refinishing)...

    Hey everybody, I have a cast iron skillet that we inherited recently and i was so excited to get it! I seasoned it and noticed that the finish on the bottom (inside) of pan was quite uneven. The season didn't "hold" at all and part of the skillet is well seasoned while part of it is bare iron...

    ironchef - Thanks for the reply! I've heard of the oyster bar but never checked it out myself, we might have to give that a try! It's kindof funny that you mention beer and wine, neither my wife or I drink ;-) Anyway, I do appreciate your response and we'll have to check out Dan and Louis...

    Need help lowering Cholesterol

    I know this sounds wrong to a lot of people but eating eggs is a great way to lower your cholesterol. Not only are they fairly low in calories but they have shown to help lower blood cholesterol in many patients. Yes, eggs are high in cholesterol but they are also very high in nutrients. One...

    OR - Portland or coast between Lincoln City and Astoria - suggestions?

    So I grew up in Oregon but my parents didn't like the beach so we never really went too much. Now I'm married and my wife and I are going to Oregon for a friend's wedding and I would like her to get to experience good northwest seafood. She's never been to the ocean before and I'm trying to...
