With a heart patient at home I don't do a lot of cooking with oil, but I have taken the time to study the pros and cons a little bit. In my opinion no oil is better, but the next best is a natural food like peanut oil or olive oil. I prefer peanut for frying as it does not dilute the natural...

I cheat There will be some in your family that will not settle for anything less than pure 100% real whipping cream. For the others who are looking for a 'pop' or surprise I prepare Dream Whip according to the directions. It whips like cream and it looks like cream. Where I would normally add...

This is what I did. I had a similar problem with carrying a trukey dinner 75 miles. I bought a cooler .. the kind you fill with ice and beer and soda pop - that was large enough to hold my turkey in the covered baking pan. Instead of ice, I put a baking rack bottom and filled it just to the...

I did a lot of commercial cooking. This is what I think: With "almost no experience cokking inside" . . . If I were you instead of attempting to cook in a kitchen I am not familiar with that is stocked with equipment I am not familiar with I WOULD RUN. I would run because looks are deceiving...

I would do this Anaphylacatic reaction can kill. If it was my child I would immediately replace the store bought cereaos with a certified all-natural rice or oat cereal that has no additives or stabilizers, and I would not buy cows milk. I would probably buy goat's milk until I found the root...

I think it is hard to share your thoughts in a short post as we live in two different areas of the worlds. Youfi are lucky that you have an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Give me avacado, dates, raspberries and tomatoes and I am happy. One of the things I created for the summer is...

Some of the things I learned to do is out of necessity. I don't entirely trust food commercials, commercial processing, or most fast food chains. I am not convinced the stabilizers that give food an extended shelf life is healthy. If sea salt does not contain stabilizers why should it be in the...

One of the more simple and healthy foods is chicken. I skin chicken and defat, add sliced carrits and celery, whole peeled onion and cover with water. I add a little sea salt and a touch of pepper and start the soup. Then I either scrub potatoes, cut them up into chunks to the pot, or, when the...

You can make hamburger, meatballs and stew meat healthier by making your own. Removing chicken skin and fat is healthier. I make chicken strips from skinless chicken breast. fry in peanut oil and drain well. I use sea salt. Kids need a little fat and sodium, too, but they don't need to be...

I like peanut oil as it does not appreciatbly alter the taste of the finished product. I tried to eat a fried egg I prepared using an olive oil based margrine. After that day I naver again used olive oil for anything except salads. That was 8 years ago. I still don't.

You are extrememly lucky Locally I have two grocers. One is tied to ABC and the other XYZ. If their suppliers do not carry what I want I cannot get it unless I drive 35 miles. I am willing to do it for certain products, but not very often. It is easier to forgo the food than make the trip...

I understand I haven't been excited over seach engines for years, but you make a good point. The next time you head to midwest you might look at War Eagle Mill in Arkansas. They grind on on a 200-year old stone they imported from Europe. It's off 1-71 at Rogers. You will pass Pea Rige, a...

If lived in Chicago or NYC or LA, I would not encounter the problems. However, If I would be trading simple rural life for one I could not afford. If I owned a restaurant and if I offered fine dining. I would be where I had easy access to the products I needed. Those dreams passed by long...

I wish ... :lol: It is not that easy ... too many complications.

Good idea! I have not used knives in a long time.

It is good advise, and appreicated, but it does not particularly apply in my situation. I do not drive 100 miles for one item or one store, for that is a waste of time and money. On the occassona I do go, I also buy wholesale bulk across the city. I do not return for another 6-9 months -...

The purpose is to avoid spending too much time on Googld. There is a lot of city chefs who do not understand the cook in rural America does not have access to the same foods or products. For instance, if I can find Scallion the cost is six dollars each. If I want a chef's tool. I drive 100 miles...

No. you do not need a cutter - if - you don't mind mixing room temperature lard and flour with your hands; I've done it both ways. I prefer hands, but not everyone likes the feel of sticky, greasy dough oozing through their fingers. Cook it on a hot cast iron skillet or griddle. . IF you work...

I see cooks that swear by this product or that product - and it is always from someone out of my area. It would be nice if we had regional site where we could check if XYZ product is available. Availability is a real challenge in rural America.

No, no, no Buy a pastry cutter. It looks like this: Amazon.com: Oxo Good Grips Dough Blender: Kitchen & Dining Use Any big bowl with sloped sides. Cut your room temperature - but not too warm lard - into butter patty size pieces. The lard must be solid enough to cut with a table knife. Put...

I follow the receipe. If it says kneed 4 minutes and rest 30 that is exactly what I do. Don't blame yourself ... More times that not, a cooking failure is the fault of the recipe author and the palate of those who judge it - rather than the cook. American Grocers say our white flour is...

"Scattered Dough" reminds me of not enough liquid.

I found this recipe that includes tips. I would definately use lard, and cut it in with a fork or a pastry cutter. I would not use milk. I would use the luke-warm water. I don't know wheat poweder does to the ingredients. Flour Tortilla Recipe Here is wheat tortilla recipe, too Whole Wheat...

Actually, I was alone. It was Chinese take-out for three. Don't misunderstand, Californis knows how to cook, but I could have bought the same thing at home for $30 with tax. The only food I ate in California I thought was outstanding was a Cobb Salad. It was devine and $8. .
