Food & Drink - 13 July 2007

I'm a vegetarian in a meat-and-potatoes community. Is it okay to cook meat free meals for my friends, or would that be considered forcing my principles upon them? I wouldn't go all out with some weird veggie-tofu lasagna (I don't eat things like that anyway) but am thinking more along the lines of cheese enchiladas.

I chose to go meat-free a number of years ago because I oppose the animal cruelty that is found in meat farms and slaughter houses.

Since we've all established that it comes from a dead cow's stomach...

People don't consider cheese top have meart in it but would it nessessarily be considered meat that they are putting in cheese since it is kind of body type part of the cow or just a disgusting thing they put in cheese?

Are they still okay to eat? I'd like to serve them as hor'derves at a little get together but don't want people to get sick. Also, I was thinking to serve them on Triskets with maybe mustard?
Any suggestions?

I get an over abundance of apples in the fall and was thinking about perhaps using a food dehydrator for the excess to dole out to the wildlife in the winter....has anyone done this? Do you think the wildlife would eat dehydrated apples? BTW: I've never dehydrated food before, but am willing to invest in one if this idea seems feasible.

I usually go for the wine spritzers or Rum mixed drinks. But I want to try something new. Maybe with pomegranate juice or something exotic.

A neighbor of mine brought back a jar of salmon from her home in Alaska. I have had it for maybe 5 years? Is it still good? And if so, how do I know if it is cooked or not? And do I cook it?

Our family usually doesn't always eat a whole pie of pizza and we leave it in the oven. If I eat it the next day the crust and pizza is harder when cold or when heated up again. Why is this? Can you please give my a detailed answer.

My mother-in-law gave me her TOP SECRET recipe for the best carrot cake ever, but she didn't want me to share it with anyone else. (Why do people do this? I'm quite certain she didn't develop the recipe herself.) It's too good not to share. So take it if you'd like, and leave one if you want to!

2 c. all purpose flour
2 c. sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
4 eggs
1 c. cooking oil
4 c. (1 lb.) grated carrots, raw
1/2-1 c. chopped pecans
3/4 - 1 c. raisins
1 recipe cream cheese frosting (your choice)

Thoroughly stir together flour, sugar, soda, salt, and cinnamon. In large mixing bowl, beat eggs till frothy. Slowly beat in oil. Gradually add flour mixture, beating till smooth. Mix in carrots, nuts, and raisins. Pour into 3 greased and floured 8" round pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 min. or till done. Cool in pans 10 min., remove from pans and cool completely on racks. Fill and frost with cream cheese frosting. Decorate top with pecan halves.

Yum!

I have heard you can for cake so I was wondering if this would be the same. If so, do you add the same amount as you would oil? Thanks!

Okay, so my friend sent me this email, and it had step by step photos of rats being prepared for chinese food. (Just thinking of this turns my tummy!) I am/was a HUGE fan of shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice....yeah, not so much after viewing the email. Given, this wasn't the rice combo, but, ehhhhhh. I LOVED chinese food, our favorite restaurant is just right down the street, well, it use to be our favorite restaurant. I can't even look over there anymore. I just keep picturing them in the kitchen with the really pale white body of the rat....ick!!!!! My husband thinks that this is hilarious, but, not me! I am so grossed out by this, I really want to know, does anyone know for sure if they do this in the US? Either way, I don't think that I can EVER stomach any chinese food again! But, that doesn't mean that I'm not curious. (Would be happy to share the email with you if you really want to see it. As for me, yeah, I don't want to ever see it again!)

My son isnt a "sweets" kinda kid. He enjoys all kinds of fruit however. I have seen how you can carve a basket out of a watermelon and think something similar would be a cute alternative like a car or truck or something "boyish". Any ideas how to do it websites would be great! Thanks!
