Good point, Juan...sorry about that! I took a (grass-fed) beef shoulder roast the other night and poked it with a boning knife, and then inserted pieces of cut up garlic into the incisions. I then used a small food blender (Magic Bullet) to liquefy more garlic, onions, salt, and some serrano...

Is that the one called "Afternoon Delight?" 8-)

Hi VI...I did a poor job of copying and pasting this list...you can probably find a much better one by Googling "Scoville Unit chart" or something like that. The one I put isn't too clear but the 2 chilies you asked about are there...here we go again: Sweet Bells; Sweet Banana; and...

Yeah, that figure is a bit extreme, eh? Actually, the capsicum in chilies is pretty healthy stuff - I eat habaneros all the time (well over 100,000 S/units), and have for many years. Mind you, I don't eat a bowl of raw ones every day...yikes! But, using them in conjunction with other...

VanIsle - Here's a handy little chart on chiles peppers and their heat levels. Serrano chiles should be a bit hotter than jalapenos, but I think it depends on "the batch." Anyway, it's one version of the "Scoville Scale"...there are a few more kicking around. (I like the habaneros, but one has...

Talloola...you might want to check out this site: www.eatwild.com It has Canadian sources of "where to buy" the good beef on that site...good luck!

My 92 year old aunt in Manitoba recently told me that in the winter of 1939-40, it wasn't very cold and didn't snow at all in southern Manitoba until they had a "skiff" in mid-March of '40. I was born well after that, but don't recall a winter like that in the years I lived there...it was more...

We all have some favourite things we like to eat...could be that special snack, sandwich, lunch dish, or full-bore dinner with all the trimmings. (I have more than one as I've always been a bit of a foodie) Care to share that special food thing or things that you just love? It might be a lot...

Here's an article that appears to be factual, and it claims "Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccine shots." Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccine shots

Oh no, I wouldn't give up the Pudding! I'm just thinking that if I can get the flour fermented while maintaining the right texture and rise, it would be a fun thing to do. (Self-confessed foodie and food fiddler-arounder)... :lol: If it works, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, it'll fade...

Thanks Juan. Yes, I see it's a fairly "delicate" thing to play with, something like a cake rise. I like sourdough bread for the flavour, but also it's a fermented food and a healthy one at that. I might play around with it a bit and see if I can make a sourdough version of YP. Would surely...

Does anyone know of a sourdough version of Yorkshire pudding?

The subject of a high-speed rail system for Canada has popped up in another thread. I think it started during a discussion of current airport security issues. It's an interesting thought. Other parts of the world have had good and safe high-speed rail systems for a long time. The one in...

Yes, I can see that! Looks like that monster was in the bread pan before it was baked. Went through the slicer nice and neat. I think I just remembered why I like to bake my own bread!

1. I wonder if sand/grit qualifies as extra fibre? 2. Almost 3 dozen eggs per 8 oz. - although I guess Drosophila isn't a chicken, is it? :lol:

Oh, and no. 5: Immune systems were much stronger back in the 50s!

Whoo, I can learn at least 4 lessons from that one... 1. Keep the raisin pie filling barrel tightly sealed at all times 2. Always carry a handy pocket knife 3. Check food for mouse turds before eating 4. The 50s were still better in many (other) ways :lol::lol::lol:

Will do that, but it reminds me of the numbers I read once on the "acceptable levels" of rodent droppings for packaged raisins. Gee, I would have thought that some kind of "zero tolerance" policy would be the best way to go. Raising one's own food is starting to sound better all the time...

Like their meats, seppuku is pretty rare! I think the last case of it was in the 80s or somewhere around that time. :lol: Their version of KFC is called Chicken Karaage...but it's good! (and cooked too!) I ate pretty much exclusively Japanese food for 6 years straight...nice experience. I...
