i am a recipe person i am puerto rican and can't even make rice and beans without looking at a recipe. It is a generic recipe then i add to it and make it my own but i am so stict about measuring liquids and stuff like that. Spices i go to my taste. I can't do like my gradmother "that looks like enough water for the rice'
So how do you cook from the book or the heart or a combination

The chicken, bacon, and lamb legs cooked fine, but the pork chops just won't cook! I am thinking my oven might be broken. How can I fix this?

I am looking for recipes for german food. My family is German, my great grand parent came over from Germany and my Great Grandmother used to make delicious German food but unfortunately she passed away and she never wrote down her recipes. I have 10 month old twin and I desperately want them to be familiar with the cultures of their ancestors. Not to mention I would love to eat some of the same food I grew up with and i'd like my husband to experience it, hes hispanic and grew up on mexican. So I would greatly appreciate ANY german recipes you have. Thanks so much in advance!!!

I hate them. I would say they are my least favorite fruit. However they are always packaged so nicely and expensive and everyone treasures their tree in their backyard. Does anyone actually like Asian Pears, what do you like about them.

Is there something I'm missing here? I've been a wine drinker for 3 decades. I spent thousands a year searching and buying, then cosuming fine wines from around the world. Many have been wonderful.

Now the Gallo wine I am sipping tonight is probably the first time in 15 plus years I've drank anything under a $20 bottle. This one happen to be $6. (long story how I got stuck with it) The bottle to be specific is Gallo Twin Family Merlot. So my point is, the wine is noty half bad. In fact it is a little on the "good" side. If I were drinking this wine blind and did not know I would have rated it a C+, perhaps even a B-, something less then 10% of the wines I taste achieve. So why do wine drinker laugh and joke about Gallo? Is it just pure snubbery? Ya sure I kjnow, it's not the best stuff in the world, but if you're in a pinch it will do, trust me. Am I the only serious wine drinker who feels this way?

I have the sugar and salt, but no vinegar. Also, I have no money. I realize you don't strictly need the sugar and salt, but will those ingredients without the vinegar change how sticky it is?

Thanks. :>

I've been a vegan for about 5 months and I'm having some problems. I have severe OCD (I get treatment) and my life is miserable freaking out about every single possible animal byproduct. I have this eyeliner that I only use because I'm also OCD about money (not wanting to spend) and because it would be a waste. I don't know if it contained animal products, but it's remove.
My family uses animal products all the time and I'm freaked out and have to keep washing my hands.
Sometimes I have to tell myself to stop worrying so much and I'll stop washing my hands or freaking out, but then I wonder if the situation I'm panicking about is OCD or not. I don't know any other vegans so I can't ask them what they would do.
I can't stop being a vegan because I'm very passionate about what I believe it, but I really need some help from other vegans on how to not be OCD about the whole thing.
Please don't be mean.
And I might post other questions about situat
