Food & Drink - 24 January 2007

I am trying to make a "healthier" version of my favorite sugar cookies. I've managed to cut the amount of sugar and used a mix of real eggs and egg substitute, but how can I cut the amount of butter? The recipie calls for 1.25 cups. Is there anything else I can use?

Also, does anyone have a good low-fat cookie recipie that they would share?

Thanks.

Went to Prague last year (highly reccomend) and had pork, cabbage and dumplings. Found excellent recipies for pork and cabbage but not the dumplings. The ones i have found usually have vague measurements.
I would appreciate any recipies in pounds/ounces or metric, nothing vague please like "cup" etc.
Thanks in advance

Well, i'm planning a surprise romantic evening for my boyfriend. We will be celebrating out 1 year anniversary. We'll be staying in a beautiful Jacuzzi Suite with a fireplace and i am going to decorate it with candles and rose petals everywhere. I've got all the details planned.

Now, i just need help choosing a good, but not too expensive Champagne. I've never drank Champagne before so I don't know anything about it. I just want it to be a special and romantic night. I've heard of Dom Perignon, Cristal, and Moet. I would really like to try one of these just because i heard alot about it. But are they very expensive??? Around how much. Oh, by the way I will have chocolate covered strawberries and peaches and cream as a sweet treat :)

Any help or advice would be really appreciated. I just want to thank everyone in advance for your help. Thank you :)

I want to do something different with my chicken tonight. I don't want to do a casserole... maybe a marinate or sauce? Also, does anyone know if red wine vinegar can be cleverly used? I don't remember why I even bought the bottle in the first place and don't know how it can be used? Thanks!

I am a vegetarian-have been for about 11/2 years. It works fine, I never feel malnourished or anything. But recently I have been trying to be way more halth-concious-really make sure I am getting balanced nutrients in my diet. I am also trying to lose about 7 lbs. Recently, I started incorporating alot of soy products into my diet- soy milk, tofu. But I just read an article "Is soy bad for you?" It said that soy is known to mess w/ your hormone levels, something I have been observing lately,my mood swings are alot more unexpected, and my menstruation cycle is coming more frequently. The article also said that soy conatins toxins and antinutrients. Another thing it pointed out was that it can mess w/ your thyroid, which is maybe why I can't seem to lose weight (altho it has always been a little tough for me).
I am so worried now. I need protein in my diet, and meat scares me. I don't want to be working hard just to be messing myself up. There is bad in eveyrthing. Am I overreacting?

Or did you find a brand that will stay together and hold the contents? What a waste of money, purchasing a package, only to find they pop open or are thin and have a hole where it's supposed to form the seam. Do you know a good name brand for me to try?

Keep it clean!!!

How come the mr whippy syrup tastes nice but the shop bought ice cream sauces taste disgusting?

My sister in law bought a bottle off the ice cream man when she was pregnant because she couldnt get enough of the stuff! Now I can't (I'm not pregnant though!).
