Can someone please point me to a thread about it? It should be easily avalilable to see on both the old and new layouts. I haven't been here in a long time, and tbe BEST of us died. I can find nothing but a friend's message.

I've been planning on making a few dishes that require chili powder (one is African, one is American), and while I've made my own from certain dried chilis, I was wondering if anyone else has a standard mix of dried peppers, or maybe different mixes for different regional cuisines. Whaddya...

I've recently purchased some fresh criminis and white button mushrooms, and I have some dried shiitakes and dried wood ears. I've been thinking of making a mushroom soup with the 4, but it seems that all of the recipes I've researched are either a pretty basic European creamy style, or an Asian...

I got out of work early today, so I stopped by a Korean market on the way home for "bbq". The thinly sliced spicy pork shoulder- Jeyuk Bokkeum - was delicious, along with the ban chan sides. The pork is so tricky to cook just right. It goes from under cooked to burnt in no time because of the...

What are all of you love bugs making for dinner for your sweetie, family, or just loving being you today? I stopped off in our old neighborhood to pick up some V-Day gifts for my fragrant wife. We can't easily keep flowers in the house (many are poisonous to cats), and she didn't want...

My son has become good friends with a kid from his school who is Ethiopian. He has come over to our house to work out with my son (lift weights, bike, eliptical, speed and weight bag, etc.) in the basement after school. However, his mom always picks him up before dinner. I was home - and awake-...

Is anyone planning their Super Bowl menu yet? I've been gathering a few ideas for something new this year. I will be making my usual broiled Buffalo wings, and my mango salsa to go with some Calidad brand corn tortilla chips (our fave). But for something new, I'm going to replace the loaded...

I bought a chuck roast with which I plan to make into a pot roast later this week. I want to use my pressure cooker, but the meat isn't the right shape. That is that the pressure cooker is sort of a vertical cylinder (an electric Cuisinart model), and the roast is long and thick, sort of...

Since we're socked in with snow in the mid and northern Atlantic coast, I figure someone should get this thread goin. I'm sure many of us will be cooking until we can get outside to dig out. I was planning on soup, but my family shot that idea down. So to start today, I have a bunch of ripe...

We had a real family dinner tonight. I made a spice blend from one of my son's camping cookbooks, which then my wife used while browning a pound of 93% lean ground beef. Then my boy stepped in and added rice. Then he made guacamole to serve on top of the seasoned meat and rice mix along with...

Anyone hungry tonight? I made a family fave, shellfish in andouille cream. Shrimp, mussels, scallops, and calamari in a sauce of andouille, shallots, tomatoes, wine, and cream. Good stuff.

Here's a soup that I came up with after my wife swore that she hated kale and would never eat it. Now it's part of our regular rotation, especially in the cold weather. This can easily be made vegetarian by eliminating the salt pork and using vegetable oil, and sustituting soy sauce for the...

My wife bought a Cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven/grill doohickey a few months ago, but we have yet to use it. It's the TOA-70 model. Does anyone have experience with this unit, or can offer help in general in using electric air fryers. I really want to make fried chicken, and french fries...

Here's my version of a Thai-style cucummber salad. It's good when freshly made, but the flavors intensify after a day or two. Ingredients: 3 English cucumbers 2 large scallions 1 Tbsp Himalayan pink salt 1/4 cup white sugar 2 Tbsps dark brown sugar 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar 1/2 Tsp toasted...

Is anyone eating today? After the power outage, I was able to make the Moroccan fish tagine that I had planned for yesterday. I used cod today, and upped the hot spicy level a bit. A good,solid dish that I’ll make again. The recipe is from ATK.

I was looking for a category for TV cooking shows. I hope that this is it. Has anyone checked out the cooking shows on www.pluto.tv? It's a free streaming "channel" from the Paramount/ViacomCBS network with currently 4 channels dedicated to cooking shows. Channels 601. 603, 605, and 609...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a really large (like 14" across or bigger) and preferrably somewhat deep saute pan. Not like a wok, but a large pan with sides. I looked into the All Clad 14", but they have some reviews about warping. Cast iron isn't an option due to it's weight, but...

Have you ever purchased food from QVC? We've bought Mrs. Prindables chocolate and confection covered apples from QVC to give to my son's teachers as gifts before. The whole "apple for the teacher" idea. They were inexpensive and very tasty. The teachers always seemed to appreciate them...

Is anyone experiencing an error where you try to give someone a "Thanks" message, but it doesn't go through? I've tried from both a desktop and a cell phone.

In keeping with my culinary resolutions (to cook things that are already in my freezer) I defrosted some tuna steaks, then gave them a coa of black and white sesame seeds and seared them today for lunch. My boy made a peanut, garlic, and soy dipping sauce while DW made coconut rice for lunch...

Is anyone working on their Christmas eve or day menu plans? We just found out that we're going to one of my niece's houses, so we're only bringing a few things. Dw will be making a casserole of 4 kielbasis, sauerkraut, onions, and potatoes. She will probably also make an apple pie. I will stop...

Ain'ta nobody eatin' this Friday? DW went out shopping and to dinner with her girlfriends, and I have the night off, so I'm making dinner for the boy and I. There was a sale on small eye round roasts; a 2 fer 1, so I'm roasting 2 laid end to end, crusted in sel gris and cracked Telicherry...

I have no idea. That usually means yes. LOl. But it's all in good fun.

Just kidding, Kleenex. I didn't see your review on this major new flavor of Doritos brand tortilla chip. However, Hi, I'm Tom. I'm a Doritos addict. But seriously, I loooove Doritos. Always have since their inception when I was just a little kid. Being a purist when it comes to certain...

This is a recipe for Teryaki Sauce that I've made a few times now, and this is my best effort to date. It works well on grilled chicken or beef, either cut into cubes and tossed in the sauce, or brushed on skewers. It's almost too easy to call it a recipe. Ingredients: 1 Tsp sesame oil 1-1/2...
