Hello again everyone! I’ve been around here for a long time but have not posted in looooong time. I do check in everyday, that makes me a lurker I guess. My question is regarding using pineapple pulp in stead of pineapple juice in a Chinese recipe. The original recipe calls for 1 1/4 c...

I'm trying to duplicate this cookie for my daughter as she fell in love with them when she was Australia. Does anyone have a copycat recipe? I guess they are actually anzac biscuits but I have made three different anzac recipes and they are too flat and don't brown on the top. The flaky...

This is a rather strange question but I'm asking it anyway. My stepson just lost one of his twin babies. They were born prematurely, 1 pound 5 ounces. The little girl is still fighting and so far winning the battle. He was two days old and just not developed enough to survive. I've always...

I planted several hill of hubbard squash this year hoping to get one or two for my freezer. Most of the plants are thriving and I am at a loss as to when to harvest the gray beauties. Some are so large it will take two people to get them out of the garden. Do I go by size, color or wait until...

Just brought home three chinese sand pots of various sizes. I have cooked rice in them so far to "season" the pots. Last night I baked a chicken in the large one. My question is why did the chicken not brown? I had a Rommertoff(sp) baker years ago and the bird browned beautifully. These are...

I wanted to make a batch this Fall so I bought a jar of the concentrated juice by Cortas. Can I use that right out of the bottle or should it be diluted? I have always cooked and strained my own berries for the juice and store the juice in the freezer 'til I want to make the jelly. I'm getting...

Don't know exactly where to post this but I found this large female mantis munching on a cricket. Mantis is the size of a little finger and about 1/2 inch thick in the belly. I put her in a good sized bug box with her dinner. I'd love to keep her and have an egg casing to hatch next summer...

Drying Walnuts? Help needed here...just picked up a lot of english walnuts from our tree and decided to try and dry them for use later. Most of the hulls or green skins are off. Do I just let them air dry outside for a bit or what? I live in the country so we have lots and lots of night...

My neighbor gave us two elk roasts, thin like an English pot roast. I have never cooked elk b4 and was hoping that I could get some ideas regarding spices/herbs and cooking time from some of you wild game experts!
