    Safe long-term garlic storage

    Similar to onions, garlic needs to be stored in a dry and dark place once it has been dried, as moisture speeds up the spoilage process. My grandparents would store their homegrown vegetables in the basement from year to year, and although some of them would eventually spoil, overall, their...

    Is it better to grill eggplants on the coals or on the net above it?

    Idk, probably to remove the burnt peel easier? I mean what reason would a person have to rinse an eggplant if not for that?

    Is it better to grill eggplants on the coals or on the net above it?

    On the net. At least around here this is the norm. The only thing that can go directly on the coals when barbecuing are the potatoes. Plus, a huge improvement in taste for barbecued eggplants is to peel them off as soon as possible (burning hot) and not letting them stay cooked in their peel too...

    Thank you for the ideas and for both of the recipes. I also make the tiramisu only with yolks, so I will definitely have egg whites to play.

    LOL. This is funny, you showed this coffee flavored desert when I decided to make something coffee related. I'm gonna make some tiramisu too, we all are coffee junkies so, I can never go wrong with coffee. Very nice flowers, and I bet they are delicious too, do you have a recipe for them?

    Yeah. I decided to make lemon bars, so I got that covered. I am still short with 3 sweets. I was thinking to make some baklava but idk, I'm not sure if it's working, it's too sweet, the whole combo. Pavlova, lemon bars, baklava, it doesn't feel right, idk why. Or maybe I'll make a cheesecake...

    What are some things that are main stream, everyone likes except for you?

    1. Alcohol. I despise the smell, the taste, everything. If I get a good sniff of I don't a, jack daniels or whatever, those hard drinks, I have an instant puking sensation. 2. Coleslaw. No, just no. I love shredded cabbage only with salt, vinegar and oil, adding sauces and mayonnaise is a big no...

    The best pancake recipe

    Now I'm on a mission. I will try everything you guys said to test them all out. I have no problem separating the eggs, I will try the buttermilk version and the sour cream too.

While the double acting baking powder is very fine and smooth like flour, baking soda, is a bit more granulated and not as smooth as...
