    How thick do you like your lentil soup?

    Im up late (or early) and looking at a bunch of crap on the internet. I came across a Shortt video recipe for lentil soup, so I figured I'd take a look. Everything looked good, but the finished product looked more like a bean side dish than a soup. The beans were literally mounding way above...

    Why are the sides of my baked bread loaf imploding?

    I made a loaf of bread today. Whole wheat/ low carb. All was going well. I took it out of the oven, after the required baking time. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes ( as instructed). Then I removed it from the loaf pan to allow it to finish cooling on the wire rack. I noticed all 4...

    Filet and Loin Ideas

    Yeah, I know sounds strange coming from me, But I came across a company that sells a plant based Filet and Loin. I've never tried it before, so I although I don't have high hopes, I'm kind of excited to play around with them. My question is, what do you guys make with these cuts of real beef...

    Homemade Kimchi

    They only were selling huge nappa cabbages. I needed one for a chow main I made, and had a significant amount of left over. Not wanting it to go to waste, I decided to make kimchi. I'm not a big fan of kimchi. It's one of those things that became so main stream in recent years, and I just...

    London Broil Marinade

    Lion's Mane Mushrooms

    My Lion's Mane shrooms have been harvested. In the past I've pan fried them basted with BBQ sauce. I also made Lion's Mane ' Crab Cakes' ( which I'm actually in the process of making again since I have so many), but the other day I tried something else. I put them on a lightly oiled panini...

    Looking for a Refried Bean Recipe that you have tried and liked

    I made refried beans today. I used a recipe from Bon Appetite which wasn't bad, but I had to do a lot of tweaking ( which I dont mind). The end result wasn't bad, but just curious which is your go-to refried bean recipe. Don't worry about the vegetarian thing, I'll figure that part of it out...

    Question about Mark-up for an instant hot water heater.

    We redid our kitchen about 12 years ago. We had an instant hot faucet ( with tank) included for convenience since we drink a lot of tea and other things that require hot water. My wife loves it. 2 years ago, the tank went bad and actually created a non identifiable smell ( we didnt know it...

    Has anyone ever dehydrated citrus slices in a microwave?

    My son asked me this because his apartment (In China) doesnt have a stove, and he doesn't have a dehydrator. I've seen a few methods online, just wondering if anyone ever tried it personally? Their technique? Tips and tricks? Was it worth the effort? Thanks

    Can someone explain to me why this is funny?

    I came across this Far Side comic, and I just don't get it. I'm not sure if I'm stupid, ignorant or it's just referencing something I know nothing about. Normally I wouldn't care, but it's the type of thing that is racing through my mind, so I just want to put it to bed so I can go to bed...

    This is a new one on me. My Sons Fiancé (Chinese) peeled and marinated the rind of a pomelo in a pepper sauce. I've candied citrus rinds before, but never pickled / marinated them. That's the only description he gave me.

    My daughter is in Italy and paid me a compliment

    My daughter and her soon to be fiancé ( I assume) are in Italy for 10 days. Anytime she ( or my son) text me, it almost always has to do with food, how to cook something, Identifying and ingredient or just showing me what they had. Needless to say, I have been getting a bunch of food pics this...

    Green Olives

    I've probably posted this years ago, but it's that time of year again for me to go through the process of making nasty, bitter, unripe green olives edible. (Keep in mind, I didn't say good, just edible). Years ago an old Italian acquaintance and I were discussing olive, and he explained the...

    I have an overload of potatoes and some left over pesto, so I decided to be creative. - I took about 4 cups of the really tiny potatoes that I usually dont have much used for, and build them until fork tender.
