If you make a vegetable product, it's not smart to exclude 10-15% of
potential buyers by adding animal products. Companies generally care a
lot about 10-15% more or less profit.

Lots of canned products only contain the essential ingredient(s). This

Of course. They're always released a few months early. I know my
cars and vans! <snork>. I could very well be the first person to
have sex in a Dodge Caravan.

Your version of delicious food is extremely dull. Repetition only means
you keep trying the same thing over and over. It doesn't mean you got
it right.
 
You'd like people to believe you invented garlic mashed potatoes. No,
you're just the person who thinks it's special to eat them every single
day. With beans and rice. Ugh.
 
You seem to lack the ability to try different foods. What's wrong, did
your housemates disappear? Aren't they helping out with food in the
kitchen? No more mangos? Where'd they go?
 
You can talk all you want about your VSTD meal. I'll continue to be
thrilled that I'm not stuck in a RUT eating the same thing every day.

Thanks, Leo! As I mentioned in another post, I have retired from a
professional lifetime of marketing my qualifications etc. and don't
relish the thought of starting again - but it seems that I must:-(

You are very talented, your work is of a high standard, quite attractive...the same for your baking skills...I mean that sincerely...
 
Anyways, graham, would you trade one of your lovely bowls for a copy of a Margaret Thatcher bio I am currently reading...???

Not professional bakers. Home bakers. Many home bakers learn to bake
from a cookbook.

This is what I am learning. Still a beginner but making fantastic pizza and bagels. Bagels boiled using malted barley in both dough and water boil
Before baking.
Keeping a journal for successe and failures.

I should think "Fake" pretty much covers the situation. I don't
need to call them much of anything except, "Oh, hey. Let's do
_this_ for lunch."
 
Breaded and fried chicken breast strips are sometimes called
"boneless wings" in restaurants, which is simply incorrect.

A long, long time ago... I made some excellent buffalo-style wings in
the oven. Okay, actually under the broiler in my electric oven. I used
a slotted broiler pan and set the oven shelf very low. I lined the
broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup. I cut the wings, separated the
"drummie" from the wing. Discarded the tips, they aren't worth the
time, no not even for stock. I tossed the wings and drummies in a
mixture of melted butter with Tabasco Sauce then dredged in seasoned
flour. Let them set on waxed paper. I arranged them on the slotted
broiler pan and put them under the broiler. Brushed with the butter and
Tobasco sauce. I do think the dredging in flour helped with the
crisping when I cooked them under the broiler. I don't recall the exact
time but I'm thinking 25 minutes and constant basting. They came out
nicely crispy, delicious, and no deep frying.
 
I wouldn't bother with it again because chicken wings are way too much
work for what little meat you get.

I do the frequently in my toaster oven. On little rach that fits in the provided pan.
Turn after 20 min.
Sauce at the end. Crispy as fried.

You may have paid cash for two years ago but don't lie about not
having to mortgage it to pay for the roof. You're out of money for
those of us keeping track.

But overcooked and not worth my time or money. Canned mushrooms are
leathery and metallic-tasting. Other canned vegetables are mushy
and bland. Canned tomatoes are ok, and oddly enough canned corn.
 
No, thank you.

Demand for whole turkey peaks around Thanksgiving and Christmas and
is nearly nonexistent in the summer. There's one grocery store here
that has any at all right now, and they're all huge 20+ pound toms,
probably left over from last Christmas.
