    What makes sushi rice sweet?

    Yes. My gf used to make Cali rolls all the time and she would mix sweet rice vinegar to the rice. Sweet rice vinegar is actually a good compliment to any salad sauce.

    Avocado Question

    They are bad. Toss them. From my experience, don't buy avocado's by the bulk and cheap at a local store. They are likely from a bad crop. I usually buy mine from costco.

    Grilling fish - I give up

    Grill fish whole when possible. Or have the fillet thick enough so the fish doesn't crumble when flipping. Maybe its your seasoning that is sticking. Try to wrap the fish in foil but don't wrap it up tight so that the smoke can flavor the fish inside. If grilling straight on the rack, make...

    Ultimate Corned Beef Hash

    Yup, I always use onions when I do corn beef hash. It should be considered a crime without it lol jk. The sweetness of the onions counter balances the strong tasting corn beef. On a side note, I never got the combination of ruben and sauerkraut. Maybe its just me, but the combination of those...

    Why do you cook?

    When I was dieting I lost about 50 lbs. Putting your time in the gym is as important as what you consume. I did have my cheat meals, but overall I was good at what I ate.

I got fat during college because I was eating a diet that consisted of McDonalds and the chinese restaurant right next to my place, both cheap.

    Why do you cook with wine?

    I have an Italian friend who grew up in Italy that never puts red wine or any wine in his sauces. I've watched famous chefs make tomato sauce but didn't use red wine. I must be missing something from this depth of flavor you guys are mentioning. If you like that wine taste in your food, then...

    Why do you cook with wine?

    I was giving a suggestion of using butter instead of wine. Its a lot less on the pocket. I'd rather drink wine than use it in foods. But thats just me.

    Pork Rib Methods

    I spray half apple juice and half water on my ribs thru out the cooking faze. Then sauce a couple layers at the end. I'm going to try pineapple juice next time, pineapple actually is a good ingredient to tenderize meats.

    Why do you cook with wine?

    I've cooked with white wine when I've cooked seafood dishes like Cioppino since the recipe requires it. But I find the taste of wine still in the dish even when its been cooking for 30mins. I never got the reason to use wine as an ingredient. If your trying to give your dish an X-factor, do...
