Not having your water hot enough has been linked to Legionnaire's disease (sits in the tank at too low a temp). If the water is nice and hot, It's safe but it is true it can taste bad.

My wife's favourite food is Mexican. I do alot of tacos, enchiladas and whatnot but am looking to expand. I am looking to get into other more interesting Mexican dishes, Possibly with cream sauces. Interested in Tex-Mex also. I have to avoid seafood (no one here but me will eat it) Can you...

My wife is from Chicago and loves to have Italian Beef (especially Portillos) whenever we go back. I admit Portillos ROCKS. While I lived in Chicago, they were the one place I really liked to eat that sandwich. Does anyone know how to make great Italian beef at home?

Ahh, yeah I have heard of those, just misread it. Great idea

Thanks Love the gravy idea. What sort of pastries do you make with beef fat?

I just hand-trimmed 25 pounds of ball tip sirloin.... Now I have 4 pounds of beef fat. Anyone know of a good use for it?

Hi All, I am a stay-at-home dad with 3 kids. I am also an avid cook. I cook for 5 daily. I am big into buying in bulk and food budgeting. Love doing stocks and soups from scratch. I have a slight aversion to buying anything prepared that I could do my self, Like convenience (microwave foods)...

I knew someone who used to fry their eggs in it, splashing the hot oil over the top. I always questioned the health aspects of it. It was sorta tasty... In a greasy kinda way.
