Words to live by; words of wisdom. We had two days in a row last week of 114 F. - Michael in Phoenix - 9:52pm on 07/06/10

You know, this is probably sacrilige in my part of the country, but I am not a huge cornbread fan - Melissa Dallas - 11:02pm on 07/07/10

I'd never tasted the thick sweet cornbread until I grew up. Ours was about 1 inch high, dense, - cheezz - 2:35am on 07/08/10

18551. Any preference/ recommendations on preparing beets? I have 6 med/small - barb_b - 3:19pm on 07/07/10 (13)

There is not a non-messy way. I believe I remember that Julia preferred boiled to roasted. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 3:49pm on 07/07/10
they're actually really good grated raw into salads... - Richard in Cincy - 3:56pm on 07/07/10

In my freezer, I keep containers of rendered beef, bacon and chicken fat. Comes in handy. [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 3:38am on 07/08/10

What do you use the rendered beef fat in? I'll bet I cut off and threw away five pounds off - Melissa Dallas - 9:10pm on 07/08/10

I used it (very occasionally) to saute potatoes on the stove or in the oven. Adds a terrific flavor. - Steve2 in LA - 11:28pm on 07/09/10

Wasn't that the secret to McD.'s French fries before they stopped using it? Great mouth feel. [NT] - Curious1 - 1:40pm on 07/11/10

I stopped & picked up cole slaw since I forgot the apples to make Pat's Red Cabbage/Craisin one. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:05am on 07/08/10
Did the recipe call for Fage? I bet it assumed regular yogurt, which is much sweeter. [NT] - Traca - 4:47am on 07/08/10

it called for over a cup of sugar and some milk added too. turning it into berry yogurt will saveit [NT] - AngAk - 5:20pm on 07/08/10
I left some Fage's yogurt in the refrigerator at a friend's (more) - daricem - 8:22pm on 07/08/10

I drizzle it with honey too. Fage is definitely less sweet than standard American yogurt. [NT] - Traca - 1:40am on 07/09/10
I drizzle with honey, mix in a little cottage cheese, add blueberries, raspberries, whatever berries - Pat-NoCal - 5:52am on 07/09/10

It might be easier to make two cakes rather than trying to adjust recipes/pans - Melissa Dallas - 7:48pm on 07/08/10

That was my thought as well. [NT] - Sylvia - 7:50pm on 07/08/10

Richard...any trick to cooking quinoa? I've only used it raw so far... [NT] - Glennis_NoCA - 4:29pm on 07/13/10

The first step I do when cooking any grain or legume, is to soak. [LINK] - Richard in Cincy - 4:47pm on 07/13/10

I've read a lot of recipes where they toast it first. Do you do that also? [NT] - Meryl - 8:44pm on 07/13/10

I think it really boosts the flavor.... here's my fave recipe: Quinoa Pilaf, Cook's Illustrated [NT] [LINK] - cheezz - 9:05pm on 07/13/10

I've been wanting to try quinoa-but what really turns me off is the appearance, though the red looks - Meryl - 9:09pm on 07/13/10

with the little curly 'tails' quinoa has, you just have to go for it and judge it on it's taste *g* [NT] - cheezz - 4:37am on 07/14/10

Wow, does that look great! I love quinoa, just haven't tried the red yet. [NT] - MoNJ - 4:55pm on 07/13/10

does the red taste different? [NT] - cheezz - 7:43pm on 07/13/10

I think it has a deeper flavor and it holds up better in salads, doesn't get mushy. [NT] - Richard in Cincy - 8:35pm on 07/13/10

Thanks, good to know! [NT] - cheezz - 9:04pm on 07/13/10
