The Illusionist.

I remember being younger, around ten, and me my mother and my sister took our yearly trip down to Daytona Beach. My grandparents had a habit of taking us out every night of the week. This one night we went out to a fairly busy seafood joint. I remember getting the mud pie, and it being the best...

I guess there are alot of theories on why this is happening. I think it has to do alot with laziness. America has (in general) become a very lazy country. Of course the horrible food is not helping either. People dont want to cook big meals anymore, they want to get home and eat. It weird...

Read if you can. You can always go back and read it again if you missed something. A good place to start would be the book, On Food and Cooking by Harold Mcgee. If you would rather watch tv, then id say just watch and find out what you like.

Put it this way, you cant do jack without a sharp knife.

I would honestly just spend the extra buck on a decent chefs knife and a standard food processor. They will last a **** of a lot longer. Products like the magic bullet are usually not made very well at all.

I don't use mine a whole lot. But when I do its usually for a beef stew. I know that there also pretty good for making broths if your to lazy to do it the old fashioned way. I usually throw in a turkey or chicken carcass after its been carved with some water and mire poix. Great after...

I dont know alot about swordfish myself, but I googled it and found alot of recipes with mango salsas, and mango marinades. It seems like a reasonable accompaniment.

Haha, I remember seeing that method used on Glutton for Punishment. Whats it called again...?

A few mornings ago I was having some bacon with my breakfast and noticed it tasted a little off. It reminded me of a few other times when Ive had bacon and noticed it to taste kind... well... unmellowed and very sharp (not physically sharp, just prominently untasty). Anyway I wanted to know if...

First of all I want to make sure that I understand the situation completely. Are they banning absolutley all sources of trans fat products in certain states of the United States? Secondly, I would like to say that a ban on all trans fat foods would be a step in the wrong direction. I think...

Well thankyou guys for posting recipes and such on this thread. The raman noodles sound good, but I've never used them before. Are they already made the the chinese noodles, or are they more like pasta (cook them in boiling water). Well anyways, thanks again.:smile:

I'm thinking about writing a little article on the ultimate mashed potatoes. But first I need something to test. It would be amazing if you could include below how you prepare your mashed potatoes, including; What kind of potatoes you use: I have heard multiple answers for this one, but most...

Whenever my mind is spinning from thinking of complicated dishes, I jsut make mashed potatoes. So simple and easy to make. All you need is some cooked potatoes (boiled or steamed usually), butter, salt and milk. Mash 'em all up and voila, mashed potatoes.
