    Coconut Milk

    While spelunking in the pantry I found a can of "Lite Coconut Milk" I bought for a recipe I can't remember and obviously never made. What can I do with it besides tossing it? I've never used it before and am interested in any ideas you good folk can suggest. Maybe I can use it in a batch...

    My new toy, what to cook first?

    It's Farberware and made in China but it was free. (Anyone remember S&H Greenstamps? And nothing is free.)   I usually pass on the freebies offered but this one looked like something I could use and didn't have.   Yeah it wasn't exactly free because I had to spend x amount to earn the...

    Sewing for old farts

    Anyone have suggestions for threading the needle? I used to be able to do it with ease. Now it seems I need to use a needle with a larger size eye. Oh well. Age has it's advantages and disadvantages. :smile:

    Picture Help

    Somehow I managed to post some pic's in line with my post. This post shows what I mean. http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f18/sauteeing-cabbage-96460-2.html#post1479955 I have no idea how I did it but usually the pic's show up at the end as a thumb nail. It had something to do with...

    When is a deal not a deal?

    It's when the new fridge you got from a renovation dies a few months after you got it. :sad: My old fridge died and I thought I'd found a replacement in the nick of time. It was the same size and color. Essentially it was the same fridge just a different brand name stuck on it. Well it's...

    Lawry's Seasoned Salt

    I've always seen it praised as wonderful. I finally broke down and bought some. Wish I'd read the label first. :sad: #1 ingredient. Salt #2 ingredient. Sugar #3 spices (including paprika and turmeric) onion, cornstarch, garlic. A quick taste sure proved it contained salt and sugar. I...

    Broccoli Stems and Leaves.

    I love the floret's in many different ways. :yum: But haven't really found a good use for the stems and leaves except to add them to stock. :neutral: Been thinking maybe deep fried stems might be interesting and might have to give it a try some day. After all they seem to deep fry anything at...

    Are you lurking Uncle Bob?

    If you are do you have a method for preparing fiddleheads? I'll take your words over the urbanites any day. Seems this year I have an abundance of them and I've never fixed them before.

    Skim the Foam

    I'm making ham stock today. It's time to clear out the freezer of all those bit's and pieces a cheap/frugal person like me has saved. :wink: But most stock/broth recipe's advise to skim the foam developed while bringing the pot up to temp. If I'm feeling energetic then I do. When I'm feeling...

    Question About Ice for Ice Sculptures

    Tossed it here in General Cooking because I didn't know where else to put it. :ermm: How do they get such clear ice? When I freeze water it always has bubbles and/or a haze to it. True I really only make ice cubes but I wonder what makes the glass perfect ice used in sculptures? Do they...
