Food & Drink - 26 October 2006

I am 22 and was taught that alcohol/drugs/smoking/sex etc... is bad for you so I have completely avoided doing all of those things. Would it help me become more sociable and less anxious if I started drinking because I've been having some severe anxiety problems lately. I'm not talking about getting completely wasted or anything but I was wondering if I'm missing out? Or should I be glad I haven't started because it isn't worth it? I want to have fun and enjoy life but I don't want to be stupid and do anything I wil later regret.

I would vote for M&M's. They're more chocolatey, and that's what I like. Smarties are more hard candy shell which can be nice for a change, but not on a regular basis.

My grandmother was from St. Louis MO. and she used to make a bundt-like bread we called monkey bread(not the sweet kind) does any one know the recipe. It was kind of like a break away buttery kind of bread.

My family and I lived in Japan for 7 years. While living there, the first course of many meals was a delicous corn soup. The soup was creamy, very smooth without any whole kernals in it. It was similar to a corn chowder, but not so heavy on the cream. I have tried several of the "instant" brands from Asian markets, but they are not nearly as good. If anyone has a recipe for something like it, I am dying to make it for the holidays!!

I want a cheese dip. I'm giving allrecipes.com a chance. I'm now looking at a pile of horribly written recipes that want me to use things like Velveeta, and cream of mushroom soup, instead of actual cheese.

It even has a recipe for baby food made with Campbell's cream-of-sodium. And 16 'Tater Tot' recipes. 645 with cream of mushroom, never mind other cream-of. 14 'Spam.' 128 recipes with frozen hash browns as an ingredient. 60 using potato chips. 55 'Miracle Whip.' Etc.

The recipes are often poorly written; when an ingredient does not come from a box in the freezer or a tin, it's ambiguous junk like '18 small potatoes' in lieu of the weight. 'Garlic salt' in lieu of fresh garlic -- the emphasis is on convenience/junk food. It's an amateur, un-edited mess.

It's mostly stuff like this:

Disgusting.

I'm sure there are a few good recipes on the site, but it's not worth wading through the garbage. What's the appeal??

I need a recipe that can provide a serving total...example: "Serves eight people". That way I can double or triple the recipe to make enough for everyone, or a recipe that makes ALOT of flan!

We took a bunch of chicken breasts out of the freezer, thawed them for 2 days, poked holes with a fork, then put them into a bag with italian dressing into the refrigerator... they have been in there for several days now.

We want to grill this but a friend told us you cant leave it in there that long, something about the dressing it makes it go bad...

Can anyone please help, dont want to get sick or anything.. should it still be good and how can we tell?

THANKS.
