Hey PaddyD15, Sounds like a great idea. I'd go to the local book store and see who is doing what and at what price they are selling it for. I have no idea where you live, but the bigger the city you are in the easier it will be to target a price. I'd also do a search on the internet for...

Yes

That's what happened, I imagine. Perhaps it was too loosely wrapped in my bag and when warm air hit it, condensation occurred. That's a possibility too. It was not frozen for very long. A couple of days max. That's why I think you need to pack a sandwich air tight as possible. One is not going...

First I can find no info on LaCruse' are you sure it's not a Le Creuset ? If it is a Le Creuset there should be no problem using the baking vessel again. Wash it thoroughly with regular kitchen soap and hot water before it's next use. Le Creuset are built like old fashioned bath tubs and can...

The best way to tell if it's a good idea is to make one sandwich freeze it, thaw it and eat it. You will be the best judge of the results. Otherwise: Real mayonnaise does not freeze well. Use a mayonnaise substitute. The spicy mustard, meat and cheese shouldn't be a problem freezing. Pack...

Chili on a bun was standard fare as a kid. I like my hot chili with french fries. Cold leftover chili on whole wheat sliced bread with mustard.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for taking all those great photos, it does make it so much easier to understand. I can't wait to try it your technique. I will call the bread a "Valencic Loaf" :smile::smile:

Not to be a pain in the neck or anything but, I actually did mention within normal range here is what I said: I understand your point about your mother or boyfriends behavior. You are correct that educating "you" will not change "them". In the case of younger diabetics it is "them" that need...

Sorry about that Ms. Elf Yes I read the posting and the OP states: "now with the blood sugar effecting her thinking" This is utter nonsense! A diabetic is exactly the same as anyone else when their blood sugar is within the normal range. If the sugar levels are so off that the persons...

Thanks for your take on that. #1 The OP states "she is on a strict diet" I wanted to highlight some techniques to lessen the rigidity of her menu. The senior citizen in question does not like what she's being given to eat. Under appropriate supervision, the ability to be a little more...

Two of the many facets of maintaining good health as a diabetic are: one- what you take in (eat) two- how you treat what you take in (insulin required) Appropriately monitoring both should result in little or no risk. Speak to the treating endocrinologist about a sliding insulin scale and/or...

Well I guess I should ask the same question; where do you live? Here is a quote from The Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture: "How Much Do Americans Pay For Fruits And Vegetables?- One argument for not consuming fruits and vegetables is that they are too...

Just to get back to the beginning of this thread and add my 2 cents.... Really "poor" people ain't never overweight. Foods aren't unhealthy, it's how you eat 'em is. America is a power house of provisions. All the "good for you" staple items in America are as cheap and as plentiful as can be...

I see 3 links to spice blend recipes in this thread. 2 of the recipes contain garlic powder. This is probably what is causing your mix to "cake up" Garlic powder is a magnet for moisture which causes the caking. Swap the garlic powder for granulated garlic. The two items are virtually...

This Kobe-Wagyu stuff looks like a chunk of fat with some meat in it. No wonder it tastes good and is so easy to cut. How hard is it to slice through cooked beef fat? No Laguiole required here, looks like a plastic picnic knife will do the trick :smile: Do they send these cows to a...

Thanks for the answer. I honestly never heard of that technique, to oil the food (wings) before. I sometimes cook with charcoal as well, it's great and I do agree very different from the gas grill.

I have made this dish a couple of times and it is delicious. I have used bone in chicken thighs which I skinned and de-fatted as much as possible before cooking. My kids love this with sliced black olives in it. Go figure?? Sometimes I will toss in a handful of stemmed mushroom right at the...

Best tip I can contribute is to "read this forum" :smile: The better you know how to cook the less gets wasted and every possible dollar goes into feeding you and your family and not into the garbage. There is a cooking contest I have heard about where every chef is given a basket of food and...

When I grill eggplant I just put it whole on the grill. I poke a couple of holes in it so it does not explode. I cook it until the skin is charred and the holes in it being to seep eggplant jus. The eggplant will also being to deflate a bit by this point. I remove it from the grill when done...

If your just starting out you need to read this book: The Thrill of The Grill By Christopher Schlesinger ISBN: 9780688088323 Absolutely the best book on the grill you can get. Also some great tips here from the members :smile:

Why would you brush or spray oil on the wings? The wings contain sufficient fat on their own. If you really feel you need to add oil to the mix, pre-heat your grill, scrape it to make sure it's free of cooking debris, then turn off the gas and wipe down the grill with some cooking oil. You...

Sounds like a real interesting bit of Gazpacho. So here is my 2 cents: The tomatoes should be peeled and seeded before going into the blender. Pop the tomatoes into a pot of boiling water for two seconds and they peel like a snap. Cut the tomatoes in half along their "equator" and give each...

I have used pickling spices, minus the bay leaf, as a rub for my turkey. I throw a handful into the brine as well. I grind the pickling spices in a reserved coffee grinder and then rub them on a wet bird making more of a paste of it. Then the bird can be smoked, baked, or roasted.

Buy a bottle and try breaking it down into its component parts. Use strainers and sieves of differing mesh sizes and shake the spice through these filters, separating out each of the ingredients. You would be surprised how easy it easy to figure out what they are using. Even if you don't come up...

Purslane is good for you too! It has more omega-3 fatty acids than all other leafy plants. This is the same omega-3 found mostly in fish. If it's a weed, well it's a good one.
