Vegetable Stock 2007-08-31 11:02:00 With the exception of cabbages (which include broccoli and cauliflower), which can overpower the flavor of vegetable stock, you can use all kinds of vegetables for this stock. The flavor will vary slightly, depending on the mix you use. Tomatoes can also overwhelm stock flavor, so while I do use them, I keep the amount small (unless of course, you want a strong tomato flavor). Some people feel that asparagus also overwhelms the stock. I personally don't agree, and find that asparagus adds a depth and richness to vegetable stock. Making vegetable stock is a great way to clean out the refrigerator of food that is less than fresh, don't limit your stock making ingredients to whole vegetables. Start saving peels (well washed, of course) and trimmings while you cook. Your stock will be strained before being used, and all those unattractive peels will be gone, but they will have imparted a lovely flavor to your stock. Some excellent vegetables (and vegetable scraps) to use are: onions, gar Read more:Vegetable

Using Spices for Cooking Asian Food 2007-08-31 10:34:00 One of the simplest ways to boost flavor and improve your cooking is to toss out stale jars of dried ground spices and to buy whole spices to grind yourself. Heating a spices, whether toasting it dry or frying it in a bit of oil, further enhances its flavor, giving the spice a fuller character.Toasting spices gives them a deeper, nuttier flavor. Cooking them on the stove lets you keep an eye on them and enjoy their fragrance.Grind whole spices for freshness and flavor. Whole spices have four times the shelf life of ground spices because their seed coatings and barks protect their flavors, which aren't released until they are ground or heated. A coffee grinder devoted to spices makes grinding a snap, though you can also grind spices, especially small quantities, in a mortar and pestle.Try toasting spices for an even deeper flavor. Whole spices work best for toasting because ground spices can burn easily. Some people like to roast their spices in the oven, but I like the control I get b Read more:Spices

Why Asian Food Saves You Money 2007-08-26 14:12:00
Even though the economy
is fairly strong, you still may want to save money and both Asian
markets and Thai food can help.
For a number of reasons, Asian markets are one of the cheapest places to buy groceries, even many of those
groceries you normally buy in western supermarkets. Then, when you get home, you will find an average Thai
meal with rice is significantly less expensive than a meat-centric western meal.Asian Markets Are Almost Always Cheaper Most Asian markets
(except Japanese and Korean) are far less expensive item for item than western supermarkets, primarily because
of a lack of branding or promotion and great economies of scale.
Unsophisticated Retail Tactics Almost no Asian marketowners
spend money or time on such consumer spending optimizers as fliers,advertising, competitive pricing strategies,
market research, information systems, shelf-space positioning strategies, frequent shopper club memberships,or
interior decorating.Western supermarket chains do not do these n Read more:Saves

Ingredients : Thai Food 2007-08-25 09:37:00 The ingredient found in almost all Thai dishes and every region of the country is nam pla (Thai น้ำปลา), a very aromatic and strong tasting fish sauce. Shrimp paste, a combination of ground shrimp and salt, is also extensively used.Thai dishes in the Central and Southern regions use a wide variety of leaves rarely found in the West, such as kaffir lime leaves (Thai ใบมะกรูด). The characteristic flavour of kaffir lime leaves' appears in nearly every Thai soup (e.g., the hot and sour Tom yam) or curry from those areas. It is frequently combined with garlic, galangal, lemon grass, turmeric and/or fingerroot, blended together with liberal amounts of various chillies to make curry paste. Fresh Thai basil is also used to add fragrance in certain dishes such as Green curry. Other typical ingredients include the small green Thai eggplants, tamarind, palm and coconut sugars, lime juice, and coconut milk. A variety of chilies and spicy elements are found in most Thai Read more:Ingredients
Serving : Thai Food 2007-08-25 09:23:00 Instead of a single main course with side dishes found in Western cuisine, a Thai full meal typically consists of either a single dish or rice khao (Thai: ข้าว) with many complementary dishes served concurrently.
Rice is a staple component of Thai cuisine, as it is of most Asian cuisines. The highly prized, sweet-smelling jasmine rice is indigenous to Thailand. This naturally aromatic long-grained rice grows in abundance in the verdant patchwork of paddy fields that blanket Thailand's central plains. Steamed rice is accompanied by highly aromatic curries, stir-frys and other dishes, incorporating sometimes large quantities of chillies, lime juice and lemon grass. Curries, stir-frys and others may be poured onto the rice creating a single dish called khao rad gang (Thai: ข้าวราดแกง), a popular meal when time is limited. Sticky rice khao neow (Thai: ข้าวเหนียว) is a unique variety of rice that contains an unusual balance of the starches pr Read more:Serving

How to prepare turkey menu before Thanksgiving dinner 2007-11-14 11:02:00 Early November
Choose a menu (we have four great ones to suggest).
If you're ordering a fresh turkey, do it now; if you're buying a frozen turkey, you still have time, but don't wait until the last minute. Remember: It's best to allow four to five days for it to thaw. (For advice on buying, defrosting, and cooking your turkey, see How Big a Bird, and Other Turkey Tips.)
Floral centerpieces finish off a well-set table. Florists are busy this time of year, so order flowers now. Four Days Before Thanksgiving
Start defrosting the frozen turkey in the back of the refrigerator, where it is coldest.
Compose a shopping list, and purchase all non-perishables. Wait until the day before Thanksgiving to buy salad greens, fresh bread, or seafood.
If you're baking pies for dessert, make the dough for the crust, roll it out, lay it into pie plates, and freeze.
Two Days Before Thanksgiving
Prepare the serving pieces, plates, flatware, glasses, etc.
