But then, the newest member to Whisk Wednesdays, Melissa of From Stovetop to Laptop, emailed everyone after making it earlier this week raving about how good it was: "OMGAWD. Holy cow. They were a FABULOUS brunch! So rich, decadent and well worth it!! We

There used to be an experiment in high school, where they would drop a frog into a pot of extremely hot water to test the frog’s nervous system, and see if the frog was smart enough to jump out. It always did.
Then they would drop the same frog into a pot of room temperature water where it inevitably just stayed and swam, unaware and seemingly unaffected by its surroundin
These are a southern treat I grew up on. The trick is being able to find them in the raw or green form. I usually make a huge batch and freeze some for later enjoyment. I prefer them cold but warm is great also. Most of my friends that did not grow up on them do not seem to like them. But to me they are heaven sent. This recipe is from the Food Network, but is basically the same recipe any good so

Sort of like scissors, a fun gadget that is used extensively in Europe for making 'oeuf a la coque' (soft boiled eggs, served in a special holder, with soldiers of toasted buttered bread, yum!). a neat little gadget, one we cannot imagine not having in the kitchen!
Hard-boiled eggs are annoying to peel. Here’s how to get the egg without peeling it at all!
The baking soda is optional, but if you choose not to use it, be sure to move the eggs to cold water (use ice) immediately after boiling.

www.foxnews.comBy DEANNA BELLANDI, Associated Press WriterFor lovers of boiled peanuts, there's some good news from the health front. A new study by a group of Huntsville researchers found that boiled peanuts bring out up to four times more chemicals that help protect against disease than raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts.Lloyd Walker, chair of Alabama A&M University's Department of Food and Animal Sciences who co-authored the study, said these phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease."Boiling is a better method of preparing peanuts in order to preserve these phytochemicals," Walker said.The study will appear in Wednesday's edition of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The other co-authors in the study are A&M researchers Yvonne Chukwumah and Martha Verghese, as well as University of Alabama in Huntsville researcher Bernhard Vogler.Walker

Saying this chicken is boiled is not the full story, it is first pan fried to get some flavour from the browning, then simmered slowly in a stock, and finally served up with a delicions spicy dark sauce. It’s healthy chicken but with an unhealthy taste!Ingredients# 500 gms Chicken Breast with Skin# 1-2 Coriander Root# 2-3 Garlic Cloves# 1/2 Teaspoon Peppercorns# 3 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce# 2 Tablespoons Butter# 500 ml Water# 1 Chicken Stock CubePreparation 1. Clean the chicken breast and add the light soy sauce. 2. Into a mortar, mix the garlic, coriander root, peppercorns and pound until ground up. Add this to the chicken, mix it well together so that the chicken is covered and leave to marinade for 30 minutes. 3. Put the butter into a pan, fry the chicken in this starting skin side down until the skin is browned, then turn it over and brown the other side. The aim is to just add some flavour, not to cook the chicken. 4. Place the chicken, water and stock cube in a saucepan,
This is called 雪梨炖川贝 in Chinese. It's very good to curb cough. But not for 'cold' cough though. For 'cold' cough, you have to use Dried Persimmon (柿饼) instead of Asian Pear.川贝 looks very much like barley but of course it's much more expensive. I had it grind into powder form so it's easily to cook/eaten. Yes, it can be eaten as it is without cooking.I feed my son with 川贝powder everyday and his condition improved. It just slipped my mind, I should have did this long ago for the kids. It's very effective.Ingredients:1 Asian Pear, cored5g Fritillariae (川贝) powder, I asked the Chinese medical hall I got my 川贝 from to grind it into powder300ml waterRock sugar to tasteHow to do it:Put the Fritillariae (川贝) powder into the pear and all other ingredients into a pot. Seal it with cling wrap so water will not get in.Steam it for 3 hours.Have it when it's cooled.Note:You drink the soup and eat the pear as well.Fritillariae (川贝) is slightly bitter so
by Mary SantiniWe use eggs all the time but have you ever wondered how long you can safely store them? How can you tell if they are fresh? What do the different sizes mean in relation to your recipe? How do you make the perfect hard boiled egg, fried egg or scrambled egg?Did you know that the bigger and older the chicken the bigger the egg? Eggs come in six sizes but only the largest four are sold in grocery stores: jumbo, extra-large, large, medium. Most recipes call for large eggs but what if you typically buy one of the other sizes—how does that effect your recipe? When your recipe calls for large quantities of eggs you can substitute a different size by taking into account the weight:Egg Size / Weight: Medium / 1.75 ounces; Large / 2.00 ounces; Extra-Large / 2.25 ounces; Jumbo / 2.50 ounces.So what does this mean? Well, 4 jumbo eggs (2.5 oz each) is equivalent to 5 large eggs (2 oz each).Storage:Eggs degrade faster from improper storage than from age. Don’t use the egg tray on

Just as all previous Easters, we have been cooking and eating a lot of eggs. And just as all previous Easters we have discussed the same thing; how to boil the perfect egg. We have tried a lot of ways over the years, but this year's best (and probably all-time best as well) is a method attributed to all-american housewife Martha Stewart. Here are Martha's egg boiling tip: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, and cover with one inch of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and pull the saucepan from the burner. Let the eggs rest for about 1.5 to 2 minutes for soft-boiled, 2 to 2.5 minutes for medium-boiled, and 12 to 13 minutes for hard-boiled. Then remove the eggs from the water. Soft- and medium-boiled eggs should be served immediately, while hard-boiled eggs should be plunged into a bowl of ice cold water, to prevent the yolk from discoloring. Why the hand boiled eggs should rest in the hot water for so much longer than the medium ones, we have no idea. But as lo
I saw a great coat in a very old catalog, it was made of boiled wool. It has a standup collar no pockets and setin sleeves. All the articles give only sketchy directions to say the least.
