    Bleached Flour; Why?

    The bleaching process softens the flour. foods made with bleached flour tend to have a softer texture, more volume and brighter color. It's best for making cookies pie crusts quick breads muffins and pancakes.

    Yes I can understand those that prefer the simpler food presentations would not care for it but for those of us who like a lot of art in our presentation...I think this is very clever.

    Best way to peel a peach?

    Got some amazing peaches from a local farm today and will be canning tomorrow. I always have issues peeling peaches. I put them in boiling water for a minute and then in ice water. Sometimes it works like a charm, sometimes not...anyone have any suggestions?

    Going MIA

    Thanks Addie, it's not really a question of stamina, I was in so much pain before surgery that any discomfort I have now is minor and kids stuff in comparison. I'm getting 8 hours sleep a night and a 2 hour nap each afternoon. I don't do the exercises everyday as I found that working the same...

    Low-Carbing with the Keto-Team

She dropped 50 pounds in 6 weeks, normalized her blood sugar and has kept her DM reversed ever since. We have a lot of patients on...

    Is it just me, or does Costco seem overpriced?

    I also have a Sams and a Costco membership and feel the same way. Costco tends to have lower prices on food and cleaning supplies...not always, but more often than not. I just check the unit prices. I like Sams cause the one by me has a gas pump with great prices, supposedly so does Costco but...

    Going MIA

    I'm BAAAACK! I was discharged this morning on post op day 3 which amazed everyone. I chose to use the medical marijuana post op for pain, which freaked everyone in the hospital out until they saw how great it worked. I used the vicoden at bedtime only and the combo worked out great...no...

    Salsa

    For years I hated cilantro...it left a tinny taste on my tongue. Then I ordered a dish that had cilantro in it (I didn't know), and I loved it. I spoke with chef and he explained to me that there is a fine line with cilantro...it must be chopped very fine and to be careful not to use too much...

    Well...there are pressure cookers that can be used as pressure canners, it they have settings for the appropriate pressures needed. I have a small unit that I can use if I have just a few jars...that way I don't have to break out the All American.

    What are you doing?

    Not allowed to take any motrin or medical marijuana this close to surgery, so I am making and herbal medicine in hopes it will take the edge off the pain for the next few days. Lots of cooking today...no kosher food available in the hospital, so I will make my own. Shepards pie, beef stew...

    English Muffins

    I agree it can be really frustrating. My friend Lou (also my surgeon for next week) had a mom from the black forest of Germany who made the best german potato salad I've ever tasted (and I don't like german potato salad). When I asked her for the recipe, she talked about pinches and...
