Thanks to both of you. These help. :)

I bought a little box kit to make "Malay Chicken Biryani" It calls for 1 cup Tamarind pulp. I found Tamarind paste, can I use that and if so how much? Thanks.

My boyfriends boss gave out meat bundles as Christmas gifts. One item is called Bread and Butter steak. I googled but only found Bread and butter roast. So how should I cook it? and should I marinate it? Thank you.

My boy friend found a large container of Arrowroot powder at the grocery store. Since he knows I love to try cooking things I've never tried before he brought it home. I know it is a thickener like corn starch but is it better all around or better for different recipes? Does it leave a taste...

Kayelle is closest, but mine had cream and broth not canned soup, also had green chilis. But I'm going to try the one you posted and just add the chilis. I still would like the original though, if anybody has it or close. Thanks

I lost a recipe. I don't remember what it was called but it had Cream, chicken, chicken broth, green chilies, and then you cut flour tortillas into strips and dropped them in for a few minutes till they puffed up. I have been all over the net and cant find it. They all call for tomatoes and...

I'm making a home made Ceaser salad with home made garlic croutons. The croutons call for "Thick country bread" What do I use, as I have never seen a package called "Thick country bread" Thank You. :)

Thanks everybody. I actually just went back to the store and got Rib eye for my parents. My sis took the round home. I'll have to ask her what she did with it. :smile:

My parents are in a care center. Sometimes we bring them a home cooked meal. Mom wants a steak dinner. Medium and not tough, also corn on the cob, and a baked potato. My sister bought the food and I'm cooking it. The package says "Beef round eye of round". They are not quite 1/2 a pound each...

Thanks Thanks everybody!

My sisters friend worked at a restaurant that just went out of business. She brought over a lot of food including a 1 gallon jug of Katy's kitchen shrimp and seafood sauce. What can I do with it? I thought I might measure it out in 1 or 2 cup servings and freeze it for starters. Is that OK...

Thank you Thank you everybody. :yum: I just looked for another recipe, but now I know I can use sherry next time.

My Mom just got home from the hospital and wants me to make her Wonton soup. My little liquor store here does not have Rice wine. What are some other options? Please and thank you. :smile:

I do this to. Mine has hamburger, potatoes, onions, and scrambled eggs. Sometimes we add some cheddar cheese. I'm gonna try all these ideas now to.

Thank you, these are all good ideas! Never thought of the precooked seasoned meat. That's brilliant! :)

Thanks everybody. :)

I have a chili recipe that calls for 2 Tbls unsweetened cocoa powder. Can I just use a bit of a plain chocolate bar? If so how much? Thanks. :smile:

I need some recipes or a web site for low cost recipes for 2. Nothing to fancy, my 17 year old daughter isn't exactly picky but she doesn't care for fancy. She likes casseroles, rice and pasta dishes, and chicken. Thank you. :smile:

Thanks everybody. :)

I have a 16 yr old daughter who has been "acting out" to put it mildly :) Anyway she has started showing an interest in cooking. I am hoping this can be something I can direct her wondering mind on. Does any body have any tips or ideas on how to teach a teenager to cook with out "hopefully"...

Thanks all Thanks everybody. I decided not to brine. Glad I didn't because they were very moist with out it. I followed Got Garlics idea and put seasonings under the skin and brushed them all over with soy sauce, then somebody else said cook them on a rack which I did. I also put a pan with...

Hello all. I'm making a couple Cornish hens tonight. I want them juicy inside with crispy skin outside. Should I brine or marinate them? Or just use a rub maybe? Also should I cook them covered in a pan, uncovered on a rack, in a paper bag? etc. I would appreciate any tips or recipes. Thanks...

I don't care for hominy, but I Love butter beans and have had a can (also w/ butter, salt, and pepper) for lunch or dinner. I also do this with black eyed peas, and black beans. Yum!
