    Prep/cooking question

    The latest in my series of “Who Thinks of That?” questions: Let’s say you’re making, oh…idk…, French onion soup, and you’ve topped, tailed, and peeled your onions using a paring knife, and sliced with a mandoline. It’s now time to start caramelizing the onions, which means a couple of...

    Cooking/Kitchen Quirks

    Today, I was doing the usual “baker’s wash” of cleaning a bowl I’d used to mix up some dough with a bit of flour, and rubbing it over the areas of stuck-on dough to pull them away from the bowl. MrsT came in the kitchen for something, then noted, “You do that a lot, you know…” “Do what? Clean...

    Eggs Benedict question

    I have never made this before and I'm gonna take a stab at it later tonight. My question is, is that I've seen 2 different methods of doing this, a double boiler and the tempering method. Has anyone made this before that knows which one is more "Puggle-proof" so I don't screw it up?

    Seared Tuna Pairing Question

    My son and I take turns hosting brunch for each other. I am wanting to do something a little different. Keep in mind, we "LOVE" eggs. Seared, blackened Tuna Tostada's, layered with smashed avocado, seared tuna, and pico de gallo. How do you think these Seared Tuna Tostada's would taste with...

    meatloaf question

    I'm going to be doing meatloaf tonight and one thing I've always noticed is that after it's done cooking, there is a lot of fat. The meatloaf is basically almost submerged in it. I use typical 80/20 (I've even done it with 90/10) but I get the same results. When I search for meatloaf recipes...

    Crockpot Pot Roast Question

    This is strange...Have been looking on-line for a recipe. I have found that half the recipes call for the meat on the bottom and the veggies on top. The other half calls for the veggies on the bottom and the meat on top. So for half the recipes, the meat will cook in a cooking liquid for 8...

    A question for iOS users

    My brother has asked me if there is an app he can buy for his iPhone 14 to access more manual settings to use his phone to photograph the Milky Way better. He's seen some pictures that are apparently taken on an iPhone but the settings he can access give a maximum exposure of 10 seconds. If he...

    Question About Canning

    One of my Neighborhood Gal Pals gave me 2 dozen fresh Peaches yesterday. I wanted to make simple canned peaches today for my Mother. I wasn't quite sure as to how many jars I would use and I usually sterilize and heat 1-2 extra mason jars and 2 part sealing lids. I wound up with three jars...

    Hi! I have kind of a weird novice question- i'd like to make this dish that involves broiling sardines for 5 minutes. My sardines however are canned in extra virgin olive oil and I'm worried that could be a potential fire hazard. Is it enough to rinse off the sardines before broiling them or am...

    Question about pork

    I'm making beer brats tonight and I'm currently marinading the brats in beer and sliced some onions and put them in the container as well. I would like to use the onions as a topping. Would it be worth cooking the onions down a bit to kill the raw pork bacteria on them, or should I just use...

    Question about peppercorns

    I have always used whole peppercorns. Sometimes I get this kind, sometimes I get that kind. I fit as many as the thing will hold on the peppermill and toast them in a pan, let them cool, and put them in the pepper grinder. That has always been my go-to. I see many recipes call for black...

    Please can anyone help? I have just spent three days cleaning my mothers oven. My mother has very little pride in keeping the kitchen clean. Whenever I visit I do the best I can to help out. It crossed my mind that the oven must be getting oil splatters when she roasts potatoes or a chicken in...

This is in no way medical advice, just opinion based on my 20 plus years of research as a person who finds the subject quite fascinating. I'll do my best and of course others will have...

    How would you "American-ize" a dish?

    I'm making a YouTube video this week on Oyakodon (oya = parent, ko= child, don=rice bowl) or Chicken and Egg over rice. I made (and ate) five today. As I was doing it, I wondered how I could change it to make it "American" but still keep the concept: Boiling/Poaching meat with egg and serving it...

    A question to those who have websites

    Does anyone like to tell me their hosting experience? Value for money, down times, and customer support etc.? I'm trying to decide on a new hosting provider for a friend. Still undecided. Every service has some downside. :roflmao: May be my expectations are too high. lol.
