Ooh, thanks for the tip spork. I'm no chef or anything -- will I know when the consistency is right? A lot of the reviews for that recipe say the burgers fell apart on the grill so I was just going to add a whole egg in there. I'll start with maybe a quarter or an eigth of an egg instead and...

Ahh thanks for the info. I got lucky by looking deeper into my pantry and finding regular breadcrumbs. I'll forego the panko this time around =]. As for the burger recipe...I think I'm going to add an egg in there to make sure they don't fall apart. Sure, it pretty much becomes a meatloaf at...

Tonight's one of those simple nights. I'll just saute up some chicken tenderloins (marinaded in salt, pepper, olive oil and lime juice), and eat them in a wrap with cheese and veggies.

I'm planning on trying these sour cream burgers for a bbq this weekend: Sour Cream Burgers Recipe - Allrecipes.com Can I use panko breadcrumbs instead of the dry breadcrumbs listed in the recipe? If so, what would be my ratio of dry breadcrumbs to panko for the substitution? Also, has anyone...

I ended up using about 1.5 times the jalapenos (seeds and all) as I would green chilies and it turned out great. Jalapenos have their own unique taste as well, so that worked nicely in the chicken curry. Nice chart, I like how they have both sauces and peppers on there to compare. Thanks for...

Went to my local indo pak grocery store and much to my dismay, there were no green chilies left. I do have a great jalapeno plant out on the patio, though. I'm not familiar with the exact heat levels of the two peppers -- are they similar? If so, what's the ratio of jalapenos to green chilies...

Thanks for all the input on the yogurt marinades. I couldn't wait -- I ended up making the chicken today =]. It turned out really flavorful. I made a few small changes based on what was available and how much I wanted to cook: -I used about 10 chicken thighs -I used a 7 oz tub of greek yogurt...

Homemade pizzas -- just finished kneading the dough for a good bit and it's rising as we speak =] This was last night's dinner for myself and a few friends. So good. Had it with some simple roasted potatoes.

The recipe looks great -- I'll up the spice levels as you said, since I think I could enjoy almost any level of chili powder, cumin and coriander in a dish. I'll also add a bit of ginger to the garlic-chili paste. Looking forward to using whole milk yogurt as well. I'll try it in the next week...

Thanks Andy -- appreciate the response. Would you be able share your tandoori chicken recipe? I'd love to try it. Also, do you recommend using full fat plain yogurt, fat free (I buy fat free normally), or maybe greek yogurt that has a lot of the liquid taken out? Maybe my fat free yogurt is...

When marinading with yogurt (like in a chicken tikka/tandoori chicken), do you guys wipe off the yogurt marinade before grilling it? Everytime I've done a yogurt marinade, I've had less than stellar results. My best results are always with an oil/citrus juice based marinade or a water based...

My fridge always has some combination of raw vegetables: broccoli florets, a bag of baby spinach, sliced red cabbage, bell pepper slices and celery. I keep them in zip-loc bags. Everytime I open the fridge, I take a handful of one or two vegetables and just stuff it in my mouth. It's horrible...

Haha yeah, I know the recipe looks like an epic fail. It just might be. I have what I consider to be a really tasty no-bake cheesecake recipe but I guess I was looking for something I could do very fast and for cheaper. I love graham cracker crusts and berry toppings and coconut milk so I...

Has anyone here ever heard of powdered cream cheese? If it exists, surely someone on this board has heard of it. I was watching this video on YouTube and this lady made a simple "cheesecake" using graham crackers/butter for the crust and simply coconut milk and "powdered cream cheese" for the...

I usually deep fry in this horrible electric wok that barely gets the oil to 350 degrees. When you finally put the product into the oil it has a hard time even keeping at 300 degrees. Today, I decided to change it up and deep fry in my iron cast skillet. Needless to say, it was the most amazing...

Thanks so much for the info. I'm going to play it safe and just prep all my ingredients and line things up in the fridge so I'll be able to work as quickly as efficiently as possible on Saturday morning. Callie, your mashed potato recipe is almost exactly like mine. Mine are actually sour...

Hi all, I'm throwing my first rather large party this Saturday afternoon and we'll be doing a deep-fried turkey with traditional thanksgiving sides. I want to be able to prepare at least some of the side dishes I am making (stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and green bean...

Mmmm, many excellent suggestions here =]

I agree that ice cream is great softened. I guess frozen desserts I like softened and room temperature desserts I like frozen. Candy is another really good one, I like it frozen as well =] Haha! I think this might have been where my taste for them came too. My mom has always loved baking, and...

Kind of a weird question I know -- but I especially love cookies, brownies and cake frozen before I eat it, instead of being refrigerator chilled or at room temperature.

Looking back on the Safeway tuna, it wasn't too great. It had a slightly mealy consistency and was definitely nowhere near the quality of Whole Foods. I won't be buying it again. I'll keep trying different places. TJ's and HT's next (I found out my Costco doesn't have the frozen vacuum sealed...

Will do! I think there's another HT downtown, closer to work/school as well. I should probably check that one out instead. Thanks again for the help, tuna is the best eva.

Thanks for the info about gassing. You're right, I should have thought about my science. They expose tuna to carbon monoxide in order to keep the iron atoms in red-colored myoglobin from oxidizing and turning brown. Same principle as with ground beef or steaks in the store. Some websites...

LOL! I like it :D The taco bell tortellini and popeye's sushi are genius

I love tuna steaks, but purchasing them from a place that keeps high quality tuna is quite expensive. At Whole Foods, I know I will get a good ahi tuna steak and so I go ahead and pay the crazy $20/pound for it. I can make four nice meals out of a pound, so to me, it is worth it. With this tuna...
