Merry Christmas everybody! I have a question that google has not provided me an answer with: how do you remove water from honey? I had a quart of honey that (long story) while decrystallizing it mixed with the water in the pot and now I have some very weak honey... How can I get the water...

I agree with QSis, where's the recipe?!? Congrats!

Gonna try your white-hot chili for a cook-off my wife decided to enter me into... I want to try a couple of test batches but it's just the 2 of us, I need to figure out how to greatly reduce this one... Thanks Goodweed, always a pleasure trying out things you post...

My wife entered me into a chili cook-off and I am going to play around with your recipe, it sounds great! However, where do you get off calling it chili when there's no beans??? :-) Just kidding, it sounds like you put a lot of work/time into perfecting your chili and I am more than willing to...

How are you making your masa? I don't know if this will help but when making tamales you need to mix the masa until it is light enough that, when a tablespoon is dropped into a bowl of water, it will float. If it does not float then you haven't "whipped" the masa enough to allow a good amount...

The Chocolate Euphoria Cookies sound great! I somehow missed this recipe but will be making them tonight...

So I have a head of regular old cabbage that I need to use soon. After going through 20-some-odd pages of threads I couldn't really find anything that caught my interest so I was hoping that some of you could help a brother out and post your favorite cabbage recipes!

My wife and I did not want to have a stuffy wedding, we wanted people to feel comfortable to come to the reception in shorts and t-shirts (since that's what we were going to be wearing) so we had a luncheon in my parent's backyard. The night before I prepped/burried the pig and potatoes (and...

X-Men 3 all the way! I'm also very excited for Pirates 2 but I'm already antsy for X3!

I can't believe how popular this thread is! I get constant emails on the updates of additions to this thread! I think I've learned more from this thread than any bread book I've used, thanks for everybody's efforts and participation!

I really don't know if I'm posting this in the right spot, so if I'm not please move me (Mods)! Anyway, I just came across a site for magazine subscriptions that has unreal prices. They might not seem that great at first but then look at the price for 2-4 year subscriptions... The site is...

Hey everybody, I have a cast iron skillet that we inherited recently and i was so excited to get it! I seasoned it and noticed that the finish on the bottom (inside) of pan was quite uneven. The season didn't "hold" at all and part of the skillet is well seasoned while part of it is bare iron...

ironchef - Thanks for the reply! I've heard of the oyster bar but never checked it out myself, we might have to give that a try! It's kindof funny that you mention beer and wine, neither my wife or I drink ;-) Anyway, I do appreciate your response and we'll have to check out Dan and Louis...

I know this sounds wrong to a lot of people but eating eggs is a great way to lower your cholesterol. Not only are they fairly low in calories but they have shown to help lower blood cholesterol in many patients. Yes, eggs are high in cholesterol but they are also very high in nutrients. One...

So I grew up in Oregon but my parents didn't like the beach so we never really went too much. Now I'm married and my wife and I are going to Oregon for a friend's wedding and I would like her to get to experience good northwest seafood. She's never been to the ocean before and I'm trying to...

Ha ha! I seriously love this place... The other day a group from our church came caroling and had a plate of goodies and had these toffee bar things that I told my wife I thought it was a saltine cracker in the middle and she didn't believe me, so I come in here and search for saltine and find...

Great! Our local butcher had a great sale on brisket and I've never cooked it before but absolutely love it, gonna try this tonight!

Depending on my crust, I'll use up to 5 lbs of granny smiths in a pie. If I'm doing a lattice top I will only use around 3.5-4lbs, if I'm doing a solid top I'll use 5lbs. I've heard of the pre-cooking, but never tried it out. I grew up on an orchard in Oregon (mostly pears and apples) and my Dad...

Okay, I am pretty new at making pies (always hated making my own crusts till somebody told me to try it in a food processor, brilliant!) and I have some really good recipes and my favorite is just a simple apple-cinnamon pie with a lattice crust. So, I always follow the recipe and pile on the...

I've heard of manifold cooking, but never tried it... I used to road trip a lot with college buddies and this was the list of our staples: 3-4 boxes frosted mini-wheats (to this day I can't go on a road trip without them), a couple pounds of swedish fish, beef jerky, 1-2 boxes saltine crackers...

Same here! I'm excited to see where this goes... My sister did our wedding cake last may and since then I've repeated her recipe 3 or 4 times with not-so-great results... Wouldn't mind some experts giving thier 2 cents worth!

Andy and PA have it right. With infants it can cause botulism. And it's not just that they shouldn't have it in their first year, but not until they have a healthy immune system, usually closer to 3 years old. The botulism wouldn't be transmitted to the fetus, but like PA said, pregnant women...

I tried finding your cream sugar icing recipe with no luck, feel like reposting?

I get my honey from a farmer up by Seattle, WA. I believe the the honey in the pacific northwest is the best from all the different types of fruit and berries that are grown there. If you are interested I can give you his email address, he ships for free and is very reasonably priced for raw...

The Teton House in Rexburg, ID. I called them to see if by chance I could get the recipe and they pretty much laughed at me, which was what I expected...
