    Tofu - good or bad?

    I bought some tofu yesterday for the first time in my life. The only time I've ever eaten it was in Miso Soup, that I know of. It was a spur of the moment purchase and I thought I'd find a recipe to use it with the sprouts, pea pods, bamboo shoots etc that I have. Looking up recipes on the...

    Squid help, please.

    I bought squid tubes yesterday and have some questions. I've fried quite a bit of rings in the past but I'm trying to eat healthier. Last year I grilled a few pieces according to directions (1.5 min on each side - hot fire) and my squid was still almost raw. When I popped them back on the...

    Pre-packaged marinated pork tenderloin.

    My Kroger had those marinated pork tenderloins on sale - 2 for the price of 1, so I picked up 2. I cooked it for the 40 minutes that was suggested (I have an oven thermometer to make sure I have the correct temp) and it was still raw so I used my meat thermometer that you stick in and it beeps...

    Gardening sites?

    Can someone suggest a gardening site where they hold the beginner's hand? This is my 3rd year of planting. 1st year was just tomatos. 2nd year was tomatos and some beans. The tomatos ran over the rest of the garden but the romaine managed to survive on the end. I have very basic questions...

    Where do the flies come from?

    How can the bugs survive a cold night??? Whenever we have a nice day, a few flies, butterflies and bees buzz around. Then it gets to freezing overnight (well 34*-37*) and they manage to survive that. Today it's in the 70s and the backyard has butterflies, bees and flies. Where do they keep...

    Bulk chorizo

    I had always bought links but one day at the International Mkt, I found chorizo in bulk packaging, like sausage. I thought it would be great to fry up and sprinkle on different foods from omlettes ---> salads. When I squeezed it out of the container, it had the consistency of refried beans...

    B-a-t-h

    I finally have proof that my dogs just toy with me. I work on obedience training with them but I have been lazy since we have a big fenced in back yard. Everyonce in awhile, I go out and run them through the routine and sometimes when I give a command, they look at me like I have 3 eyes and...

    Why do people think they can outrun the police?

    LOL, in this day and age, why do people try to drive and hide from the police? :lol: I just saw the chase in Miami. A woman stole a U-Haul and was trying to get away from about 1000 police cars and helicopters. I didn't think a U-Haul could outrun a fast bike. In fact, with all the...

    Squirrels in the attic

    It sounds like the Rockettes up there. I used to put my cat (named Fido since he acted like a dog) in the attic when I noticed them. There'd be a huge ruckus but he'd chase them out with a warning NOT to return. I don't want to kill them and have a dead squirrel in the attic. Anyone have...
