Crispy Eggplant

Posted by Lvs2Cook  

This was wonderful. I really like that it is baked and not fried. Followed the recipe with the exception of sweating the eggplant first to pull out some of the bitterness (sliced eggplant, sprinkled with salt and let sit 5-10 minutes, then wash... — ala-kat Aug 18, 2009

Homemade Stock

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

The ONLY downside to this (outside of your friends thinking you are bonkers for freezing your garbage) is it will never be the same - and that really isn't a down side is it? The ingredients will most always vary in selection, but amount also... — ala-kat Mar 17, 2009

I followed this recipe almost as close as I could. I didn't soak my beans overnight, never do. Used Rotel tomatos (yum), substituted jalapeno (had no green pepper) and chicken broth (had no vegatable). Also didn't have any cajun seasoning so I... — ala-kat Feb 9, 2009

Garlic Roasted Potatoes

Posted by Kim127  

The true secret to this is slicing the fresh garlic. OMG. I've had this with 'garlic in a jar', pressed garlic, etc. This is the way it should be done. The flavor is awesome, and those crunchy slices of garlic, heaven. — ala-kat Feb 6, 2009

Looking for vanilla beans a while back to make some Kaluha, I found a site that got me seven Madagascar beans (no shipping!!) at a VERY reasonable price. As it was more than I needed I started looking for other things to use them for. While I do... — ala-kat Jan 19, 2009

Uncle Bill's Caesar - Canadian Style

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin  

Once I was introduced to the Caesar, I have never gone back. I no longer will order a bloody out as places around here don't stock Clamato juice. It is readily available in the stores so when I'm in the mood, I make my own. I do pepper my own... — ala-kat Jan 19, 2009

Rustic Flower Pot Bread Loaves or Bread Rolls

Posted by French Tart  

You don't use 'used' flower pots, you use new, 'seasoned' pots, or old 'seasoned' pots. Common sense. As for the flour, try 'all-poupose'. — ala-kat Jan 7, 2009
