Are you going to believe second and third hand stories and myths, or someone who has lived that life and has firsthand knowledge of what I'm talking about. I'm through with you muttonheads...

Wrong sources That's your trouble, you believe people like CNN - :rofl:

If it were me, I would use Greet yogurt.

Is your mother's second language English and first language Cajun? Was your grandmother the official Cajun interpreter at the largest hospital in New Orleans? Do you have a branch of your family who, even though they were born in the Louisiana Bayou, never learned to speak English and still hold...

Miso soup, lightly sauteed shrimp, steamed carrots and broccoli.

I don't care what Anson Mills has to say. I challenge anyone to go to any restaurant in North America that has grits on their menu, or go to any market and ask the manager to show you where the grits are. I dare say that 99.9% will refer to hominy grits. What >1% call grits vs what 99%+ say they...

Fried beef liver, butter sauteed onions, liver-fond gravy and mashed potatoes.

Plastic molds and silicone molds both work well. I have plastic molds in shapes for use at Christmas I've used for more than a dozen years. The trick I use is to always successfully remove the chocolate candies from the mold is first freezing them for a day. Many come loose of the mold...

Steaks continue to cook from residual heat for about 6-7 minutes after removed from direct heat, so when you serve what you consider a medium rare steak, it will will continue to get more done and turn into a medium or medium well. Taking this into consideration is important to some.

WalMart carries cardboard cake base blanks for a minimal price. Use two 1"x2" boards placed on either side of a baked and cool cake layer, to use as a guide to rest a long knife (preferably a bread knife) and trim the domed top of the layer into a flat disk.

Eat it quick... before it gets away!

I use HimalaSalt (Primordial Himalayan Sea Salt) most likely from the same company as your chunk, only mine is already ground and in a shaker. Even if it is expensive, I like it! It does taste different. The chunks are meant to be used to heat in the oven and food placed on top or beneath during...

Parmigiano Reggiano, extra sharp cheddar and my own, home made Farmer's Cheese.
