Food & Drink - 29 March 2007

When you bake a cake, the ingredients almost always include flour, eggs, sugar, butter, but when you cook with cake mix, you're almost always instructed to add vegetable oil. What does the oil do in the mix? (And I know there are some made-from-scratch cakes that use oil, like Hummingbird Cake, but certainly not the majority.)

So I bought this ground beef Monday afternoon, and today is Thursday. It's been in the fridge, except most of it has turned grey already. The FDA website says that MAY mean it's already begun to spoil-- so what does that mean? Honestly, would it be so terrible to cook it and eat it?

I have a recipe that calls for Feta cheese with basil and sun dried tomatoes, do they even sell this?

I can find the feta cheese, but just plain.

What can I substitute with?

I want something simple, affordable, but really delicious. My husband's a meat and potato kind of guy. I'm thinking maybe pasta or something. I'd like to hear other's ideas and opinions. Also- what for dessert?

Technically it's just an insanley strong alchohol. It is 100% so about 3 times stronger then vodka. But is it possible to actually drink it and not die?

I HATE Concord grape jelly, but that's all the major jellymakers(Smucker's included!) make...

What's wrong w/ Thompson's Seedless grapes(or any other grape for that matter!)???...

We need to teach the folks at Smucker's and Welch's that NOBODY loves Concord grape jelly/jam!...
