Love cheese so much, so bad a cooking it! I'm trying to make baked macaroni and cheese, but the bechamel with cheese separated into curds when I added it to the bechamel, and it's watery-lumpy, not creamy smooth. Does it have to do with type of cheese? Temperature of sauce? Help! (Thanks!)

I'm making mini meatloaf and my recipe makes 6 but I only need 3 now. Should I cook all 6 and freeze the meatloaf cooked or should I freeze them without cooking first.

I have various of pots and pans that I inherited from my grandmother and most of them have ...what i could call "baked on grease"., though everything I cook in them taste great. I don't feel comfortable bringing them out when company visit. I know everyone is going to say "just throw them out"..i can't cause they make me such a great cook and there is too much sentimental reasons behind them. I tried a soap tablet called "Bullet", but that sucked, I've tried oven cleaner but to no avail. Can someone really give me a cleaning solution as to how to get rid of caked on grease on a cooking pan?..Thank you.

I'm having a "debate" if you will, with a few people so I'd like to get your opinion.

When you see a commercial/billboard/ advertisement with meat on it (raw or cooked), talking about how juicy and delicious it is, do you get offended? or feel slightly sickened?

Also, when a place that sells mostly chicken, uses a chicken as their mascot, or a place that sells mostly pork or beef, uses a happy, smiling pig, or cow, does that offend you?

I dont eat meat, and I find pictures of meat kind of gross, and it irritates me when people use a cartoon image of whatever kind of meat they specialize in, alive and happy. (Im sorry but if I did eat meat, I wouldnt want to see a happy pig right before Im about to sit down and eat pork, that'd gross me out).

Am I just being overly sensitive about it? How do you feel about those issues?

The recipe that I'm using requires a 4lb chicken...Well i need to feed more people so I'm using an 8lb chicken. For the 4lb I would have to cook at 425 for 20 minutes then at 325 for 1 hr and 10 minutes. How should I go about the timing for the 8lb?

Here is my argument--Refute it, Im not trying to insult anyone:

Meat tastes good, good protein, and it is extremely natural. --I mean its better than drinking milk. That is so unnatural: Think about it--Drinking another species milk that is made for their offspring and we only drink their milk because they produce alot of it and its there. It would make more sense to drink dog milk, breast milk, or monkey milk because atleast they are more related to us.

We love the rice they serve with fajitas, tacos, etc. I can figure out the veggies that they add in, but there is some seasoning that we can't figure out. Thanks for any help.

I've been a vegetarian for two months, and I've had no problems. However, members of my family, friends, as well as articles I've read, claim that I should be careful with my vegetarian diet. Should I be taking certain vitamins? I've heard both good and bad things about soy, so what is the general consensus; should I be eating it? I'm fairly new at this lifestyle, so any help would be much appreciated.

Everytime I cook a meatloaf, wheather it be in a loaf pan or on a cookie sheet, the bottom of the loaf is always so greasy. No one in my family will eat the bottom of the loaf because it's so nasty. Any tips on how I can cook it without it being greasy on the bottom?

I used to work at a local restaurant called "The Hungry Fisherman" ( owned by Shoney's). They had a wonderful soup on the buffet made with ground beef, cabbage, kidney beans & other ingredients......Does anyone know the recipe for this or a similar soup?

I have to be honest, I'm not a cabbage fan - but this one is top notch!!

Thanks for your help

I have found many questions and answers in this forum accusing non-vegetarians of committing sins by eating dead animals and making their bodies impure and graveyards by consuming meat,etc etc...

My question is "Don't Plants have life?" Its been scientifically proven tht plants do have life.They experience growth as well as pain,just as animals do.The only difference is tht they don't bleed or cry out loud while dying.They just die a silent death.But tht doesn't mean they don't experience pain while they are being uprooted(for acquiring veg like potatoes,carrots..)while fruits and vegetables are hacked off them,etc. They are not lifeless.

So,aren't you too doing the same thing as non-vegetarians by consuming plants and vegetables? You are eating dead bodies too.Your body too is bcuming a vegetarian graveyard.So,no vegetarian in my opinion,has a right to accuse a non-vegetarian for his/her eating habits.
What arguements wud you like to put forward for this query of mine??
