There is simply no decent pizza place in my neck of the woods. When I lived in NY and north Jersey there was always a great Pizza place. Folks around here simply enjoy only the normal southern fare. I finally decided that Red Barron pizza is the best of the bunch. I add more decent sauce...

I mourn the loss of Kraft Extra Extra Sharp cheddar. One day it was part of my life and then Poof...Gone! People may poo poo a big company like Kraft being capable of producing a top quality cheese, but in this case they are wrong. I know what a good sharp cheddar should taste like and feel to...

Hello folks. Even though I don't show up her often I thing of this forum is a valuable resource, I can't seem to keep my wok seasoned. I have no problem with my cast iron pan, just the Wok. Supposedly the wok was pre-seasoned but I keep getting rust on mine. I re-seasoned it many times and...

Does anyone know where this guy went and why he is not still here? I've been browsing through his past threads. This guy new good food and could write a detailed recipe for folks like me who know good food but am just learning how to make it.

I made this magnificent reversed seared Chateaubriand new yeas's eve. I cooked it to perfection, but whatever was I thinking? The roast was over 3 lbs of solid meat and I'm just 1 little person. I will not tell you what the dang thing cost The roast came out beautiful and I browned it to...

I buy it. It's expensive. The bread is worth it. These folks know how to make a good loaf of bread. I responded to them when they asked for an evaluation in a email. I told them what I thought about the company and their product. I love how their company works (everybody has a voice) and I...

At the store yesterday I bought an entire pound of fine jumbo shrimp. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm just one small person and I eat very little. I breaded them all yesterday, fried up 6 for dinner and popped them all in the fridge, covered until this afternoon when I fried them all...

A guy on my fish forum kept taking about having creamsicles so often that I remembered them from my childhood and got the yearning for them. I bought some at the store. I'm eating them and liking them well enough, but I can do better. I saw this recipe Homemade Creamsicle Recipe ? Nourished...

...so I shall post this here rather that complain about not having a "junk food" forum. I have been wanting to review Zapp's potato chips but I keep not having the desire for potato chips. I look at the bag knowing that I want to review them, but don't have the craving so don't buy them. When...

I just put my tongue in the brine. It's supposed to soak in the brine for at least a week before I braise it. I might go 2 weeks. Good things come to those who wait.

My Victoriox chef knife was delivered to day. I can't believe how sharp it is. I imagine that the other two will be delivered tomorrow. I left work early and drove into Hattiesburg. I delivered 20 fish to the pet store. The culinary store for rich folks is right next door to them. Imagine...

I have these cheap crap knives. I have looked at everything but can't decide. There is a specialty store in Hattiesburg where I could hold the knives in my hand but I don't want to go there knowing in my heart that I will find the same thing on line for less. It's a lovely place but...

I meant to order 25 lbs of whole grain corn from Great River Organic Mill. I accidentally ordered 50 lbs. I've searched and searched. The only recipe I can find except for masa is Posole. Does anyone have any suggestions or do I just need to feed it to the squirrels?

I just spent $160. on Amazon for stuff I don't need but think I do. Except for the bubble bath from France it was all cooking related. I will soon have everything I need to make tortillas from scratch (that stuff cost a bundle). I also bought this pressure cooker cook book which I need and...

If y'all say no I may do it anyway. I make mine from scratch because it's so much better. I freeze it in pint containers. I only needed 1/2 cup for my recipe and by the time I got home the entire pint had defrosted. I put the rest back in the freezer.

I thought that what I used to eat and was my favorite meat as a kid was smoked tongue. I've looked around at some recipes for making it and I think I was mistaken. I think that what I loved was pickled tongue. It's was similar to corned beef but way better. I found this. I can do it...

I posted about getting two pressure cookers for the price of one from Macy's on the Crazy Cat Lady's thread. I told them that I'd be happy to send it back if they send pick up for it. They agreed and gave me a $20. gift code for my next order. Today I get this via email: we've received...

UPS just showed with my new pressure cooker. It's gorgeous and the price from Macy's was great. Tenspeed, the first thing I will make in it is your Chicken Masala.

My good things: I'm 65 but strong and resilient. I am loyal. I am optimistic, mostly. I am a good weight. I sleep well, mostly. I have empathy. I can do for myself. My bad things: I smoke cigars. I drink too much. I'm something of a recluse. I never forgive someone who purposely hurts my...

I am thinking of buying this one but would like opinions of folks who know more than I do. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DEQVS7G/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DEQVS7G&linkCode=as2&tag=bestprodtag50344-20

Since I haven't done it for so long I have to learn how all over again. I got a cheap little Smokey Joe a few days ago. I will do the prep work Sat. after work and the final cooking on the grill on Sunday. I decided to start with this because it seems easy for a grilling newbie and it looks...

I lived in Mexico for 4 years. Every afternoon I would go to the tortiarila and buy a half lb of freshly made tortillas. They were delicious. Nothing like the crap I find here in the supermarket. I have 'bout given up on Mexican food because I can't get decent tortillas. I was told once it...

I don't bake but I'd like to try in in place of other oils in some recipes. If you use it where do you buy it? My supermarket doesn't carry it, period. Besides I've read that the stuff available in most supermarkets is partially hydrogenated. I found some on line, It's $25. for a lb. Geeze...

...I will buy this. Not the best, I know but an excellent quality range for the price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DN6GUC/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005DN6GUC&linkCode=as2&tag=bestprodtag46632-20#Ask
