Just someone who likes to cook. I enjoy experimenting with canning and bread making, and trying all kinds of (vegetarian) cuisine. Currently into learning cheese making.

What's the difference between jam, jelly, and preserves? thanks! but i give credit to Ball. i tried to come up with an answer relying only on my memory, and that didn't work, so i had to haul out my book and check. : ) |

How do I separate egg white? yep - i used to use the shell-to-shell method, but now i do like my grandmother, and just use my hands. it works so much better. |

Are these coffee beans unroasted? that's a great tip, Michael! i have resorted to roasting in my garage, but it takes a long time when it's cold for my poppers (yes, i have two i use, actually) to warm up to the roasting temperature. this might help, though -- i'll have to remember to try it. |

Good breads for evening cooking? sure - you mix together the flour, salt, yeast and water in a large container, and let it sit for a couple hours on your counter until it's risen to about double its original size. then, you can either use some dough right away, or (since it's easier to handle when its cold), put it in your fridge for at a day. then, on baking day, you cut off a grapefruit sized hunk, dust it with flour, quickly shape it, and let it sit while the oven preheats. then, you slash the top & bake! easy as pie. or, uh, bread. |

Good breads for evening cooking? yep -- came here to say that very same thing. the AB5 book changed my bread-bakin' life, lol. you can make enough dough for 4 loaves at a time. you just lop off a hunk when you need it, shape it, let it rise for about 20 mins, and bake. you can keep the dough in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, i think. it's awesome. |
