    ISO Help - Risotto Serving Size

    My package says "1/4 C. dry" for the Nutritional Facts then the recipe on the package (not the one I use though) says to use 1 C and you get 3 C's of cooked rice. Does that help?

    Looking for TNT chicken tika masala recipe

    I think he had a thermometer for the grill, I'll look tonight. I don't know! Bone-in just sounds way harder than a plain old breast or thigh. Then again, just grilling is way harder than I thought it would be. Much easier when I was just responsible for refreshing cocktails on the deck...

    Looking for TNT chicken tika masala recipe

    I'm happy I know how to light the grill Andy! Bone-in chicken? Eeeek! I might screw up enough courage this weekend to try it. We'll see. :rolleyes:

    Dahl and other Indian side dish recipes

    Sadly, no Indian stores. Lots of Asian and Hispanic but no Indian ... I'll skip the coconut milk in this and just make more curry :) I'll stop today and see what they actually have for fenugreek leaves vs. seeds and then will check out Penzy's probably. Thank you for the feedback (and the recipe)!

    Looking for TNT chicken tika masala recipe

    The Serious Eats recipe looks very good. One question ... can I use boneless breasts or thighs? I am getting more comfortable on the grill without DH but bone in chicken scares me just a little. Thoughts?

    Dahl and other Indian side dish recipes

    And another question ... I don't think I can find fenugreek leaf, rather, it's like a seed. ???

    Dahl and other Indian side dish recipes

    Andy, is your recipe one that I could use coconut milk in rather than the milk and cream? After buying many frozen and packet meals, I'm just starting to experiment with cooking Indian cuisine and am finding that many use coconut milk but never (or rarely) the whole can. If I can have multiple...

    Calculating Sodium Question

    I make my own stock and that's what I use most of the time. But everything has natural sodium. Vegetable stock would be the lowest but even veggies have natural sodium. I needed to actually track how much sodium he was taking in so my own made it even harder. If I had to follow a low sodium...

    Calculating Sodium Question

    MadC ... I had actually found several very good salt substitutes and used them with seasoning meat or veggies I was cooking. The problem I ran into was when I wanted to make a roast or needed braising liquid. It's hard to make just water taste good even with seasoning. I found that by...

    Calculating Sodium Question

    And I did :smile: but didn't get a real firm answer. She recommended that I still calculate what the original liquid contained and record that as different meats and foods absorb differently. It wasn't long after my original post, though, that the situation changed. Still good information though.

    Calculating Sodium Question

    Salt / Sodium isn't bad unless in excess or if your body can't process / absorb it properly.

    Bread With Your Meal

    My grandparents had bread with every meal, regardless of the meal. My mom served bread with most meals and now, I find I do to. I think, in part, it becomes a utensil. My grandfather mopped up sauces and gravies with his bread. My mom taught us how to use it as a way to push food onto our...

    LP's Baked Salmon

    Looks yummy! I have lots of salmon in the freezer from the last time Monte went fishing on Lake Michigan and am terrified to cook it! He was the official fish cooker ... You have inspired me Laurie!

    Two Ingredient Cupcakes

    I agree! But this is a fun idea ... Would be fun with kids as a science experiment so show solid to liquid back to a variation of the solid.

    Clarified Brown Butter? Anyone?

    This is where I'm getting confused too GB. I've never tasted ghee ... does it taste like brown butter? I never thought about straining it and keeping it because it's so easy to make BUT I have burnt my fair share of butter getting the right shade of brown so ...

    How do you like your cheese?

    PF, I'm happy to send out our nice, creamy cheeses. I wish curds would make it to people still squeaky. They lose it after a day though ... Addie, if you have Sam's by you, they carry several Tillamook lines (at least by us). It could be because they are actually packaged here in Wisconsin...

    How do you like your cheese?

    I agree PF! Their aged cheddars are very good. So a funny cheese story ... our favorite route to take on the motorcycle was starting in Red Lodge, Montana and riding the Beartooth and Chief Joseph Highways into Cody, Wyoming. On one of these trips, we frequented the bowling alley in Red Lodge...

    How do you like your cheese?

    Most fresh cheese curds around here are Colby. Squeaky and yummy! When we lived in Oregon, I would haul cheese back every year. People thought I was crazy because there are some good artisan cheeses there. It's the creaminess though that they are missing. I did not know this, I just knew it...

    How do you like your cheese?

    I haven't met a cheese I didn't like except for Headcheese and Limburger. It just depends what I'm doing with it ... My absolute favorites, though, are the sharp cheddar and colby cheeses made by local creameries. Our cows have a higher butter fat content so tends to be creamier. And did you...

    Steak Tartare/Carpaccio/ Ceviche

    I was going to say what Steve said ... Ribeye has the fat which may throw off your texture a bit. I know when we make wildcat, we use very lean ground beef for that reason. The fat is cold and gets weird. And yes to just the yolk. Let us know how it turns out! I'm not weighing in on the...

    How do I remove blackberry seeds?

    Chief, I do have a juicer but was hesitant to use it since I want some pulp. Maybe I'll try both ways.

    Ice Cubes.

    Like Whiska, I freeze extra coffee to use in iced coffee. My sister likes flavored hot and iced coffee so she stirs a little syrup into the coffee before she freezes it.
