I am planning on making Italian Cream Soda, and it says that you need flavoured syrup. Where can I get it?

There is a Whole Foods Market not too far from where I live, but unfortunately, it doesn't have vegan or vegetarian substitutes for everything I used to eat when I was a meat eater. For example, it doesn't offer any vegan or vegetarian substitutes for fish or shrimp, so does anyone know where I can order such substitutes online?

I want it to be really romantic, something that go's good with a wine. I'd like it to be something no one's ever made him or maybe he's had it, but not like this.

In my Spanish class, we are having a fiesta. Everyone has to bring in a Mexican food for the party. It has to be authentic, pure Mexican, and easy enough for a 13 year old to make. Any ideas? Any sites?

Alright, I have tried many recipe's and all seem to end in the same disaster. I go through the dough making using the yeast and all of that. Go through about three ours of letting it sit, then punching it, and letting it sit some more. After that I roll it out, fold the ends, add the sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Then bake it. The problem is, that the dough is always, gross. The flavor is fine, but it is really dense and not thoroughly cooked. What are some things I should try, or even some recipe's. I was thinking maybe a lower temp, thinner crust, but nothing works. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I have no idea what these long names actually are. Does anyone know some offhand, which they could list? What, specifically, can a vegetarian/vegan definitely eat, which is processed?

and ...basically when I took it out of the oven , it looks pretty good but after I cut it and I saw that the dough is still raw, just a thin crust that's all, otherwise, between the topping and the crust it's the raw gooey dough...
What should I do about it?
If I put it back in to the oven, I think the toppings will go really dry or even burned .....
and can I still eat it like that?

i have been trying to eat healthy and i have some unsalted dry roasted peanuts, and they are so good and i can't stop eating them, i know they are high in fat, but it is the good fat, and also they are low carb, with on cholesterol or sodium, they are high in potassium and protein. i feel like such a pig, because i am only supposed to eat a hand full, but since i have cut out sweets high in fat and sugar and carbs, i need something to make up for that and i am tired of eating fruits and veggies all day. but really is this bad (i do plan on working out today also)

We were invited to a Halloween party that a friend of my husband and his girlfriend are having at their house. We never see or hang out with these people so I was kind of shocked we got an invite, but I digress. So,on the invite it tells me what type of alcohol I am supposed to bring...it says I am assigned to bring that. First of all, don't people get to rsvp? It sort of assumed we would be there and that we'd bring some expensive vodka. We don't even drink so what makes these wack-jobs think I'm going to buy a $30 bottle of vodka and come to their, obviously centered around drinking, party? I guess I should call and say we won't be making it? Is this weird or normal behavior for parties? and they know we are not drinkers by the way. We've known this guy since high school, my husband and I are 23 and have a 2 year old son...we married as high school sweethearts 3 years ago (for a little background).

Last year we had a stew inside a pumpkin, "finger" cookies, spider cupcakes, and chips/dip. I want to do something besides a stew for the main dish...then just some fun treats and snacks...any good ideas???
Also - we want to have chicken wings ("bat wings") can I dye the sauce black somehow? Is there black food coloring??

Ok, so I might be the only freak on the planet who does not own a George Foreman grill. I want to know from people who do: is it as great as they say, is it easy to clean, is there a variation on standard cooking times (slower, faster?) Would you recommend one? Please give me reason for "yes" and "no" answers... And thanks in advance!!!!

I am thinking about going to culinary school. I have been looking at Le Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas, Nevada and at Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California.

Le Cordon Bleu is 15 months and of course cheaper but a great location. CIA is 22 months and much more expensive but is a nicer looking school and actual college campus.

I've heard people say it doesn't really matter that employers are more interested in work experience than eduation. What do you think?
P.S. I have no experience other than cooking for family and friends and small gatherings.

Yeah, i know it's a crazy question. I need something moldy for my microbiology class by next tuesday, but i don't have any moldy food.

I put a slice of bread and a sliced pear out on my counter, but i don't know if they will get moldy but next tuesday.

any ideas anyone? I need something with some serious fuzzy moldly growth on it, but please, nothing stinky like old spagetti or a stinky 2 week old dinner left over. more like a fruit or bread or something.

i have 2 recipes for taco salad that i havent made for years and i dont know which one i made.
i'm sure they are both good, they both have same ingredients ( cream cheese, taco seasoning, top with salsa, cheese, gr. onions, peppers) except for
1 calls for cottage cheese
other calls for sour cream
what do you think would be better?
we like both sour cream and cottage cheese.
have you made it one way or the other?
