    ISO recipe/help with authentic hot and sour soup

    I made this soup last night and it was fabulous! When I make this again, I will wait to add the tomatoes with the pineapple. The tomatoes cooked away. I cooked the onions for a few minutes in the oil to get them going before adding the broth. I will be making this soup again in the very near...

    White Rice - How do the Chinese do it??

    Not a complete minority. I believe that jasmine rice (which I suggested) is a long grain rice. Charlie - have you been to United Noodle? That is my favorite asian market. I can spend a lot of time and money there

    White Rice - How do the Chinese do it??

    My rice comes out so much better now that I have a rice cooker even though I thought I made great rice on the stove top. Personally, I use jasmine rice that I buy at the oriental market.

    Need an easy menu suggestion.

    It seems as though I am busy running my daughter to activities every night. It is difficult when she has soccer from 5:45 - 7:15. She can't eat dinner before practice or she will get ill so she has fruit, bagel or yogurt before practice. After practice, she will have some cheese and crackers...

    Mmmmm....I LOVE Penzey's! I have one just a few miles from my house. There are very few spices in my cupboard that aren't from Penzey's. It is amazing to go there and actually smell the spices. Let me tell you that cinammon from there smells 100 times more fragrant than cinammon from the...

    Advantium Owners

    I wish that I could have gotten the 220. I only have the 120. This was my solution to not having the proper electrical to get a dual fuel oven. I made the scalloped potatoes out of the book and they were pretty good.
