Food & Drink - 7 December 2007

I have a recipe for Johnnycakes which I have never made before (I'm in New Zealand, and no one here really eats them, or pretty much anything with cornmeal!). I've made the batter but it looks too runny....

Here's the recipe:
1 large egg
1 cup stone ground cornmeal
1 3/4 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon salt

Will those proportions work or how can I fix it?

Maggots in Re-fried Beans?

Is there anything in refried beans that can resemble maggots? Tonight I ordered food to go from a Mexican Rest. that I go to frequently. I had a little tub of refried beans. I put some on a tortilla, then put it down on my plate. I noticed in the tub of beans something that looked a lot like a maggot. I grabbed it and looked closer, but wasn't sure. Then I see that the whole tub is filled with the same little maggot-like things. They were all the same shape and color. Examining it, I swear I could see little ridges in them, and they all had little darker ends. Luckily I didn't eat any. My husband thinks they are maggots. I am hoping that there is by chance, something in refried beans that could be confused for maggots. I'd hate to accuse this place of having maggots in their food, unless it's true. Any thoughts?

Why do I hiccup after Eating Bread?

I hiccup a lot after eating Bread, what is this from and why only bread? If I eat pizza it doesn't do it, hamburger without bun it doesn't do it, or pasta it doesn't do it, etc. So why when I eat like sandwiches on bread, and like hamburgers on bun do I hiccup a bunch afterwords?

Is it OK to thaw meat in warm water?

I have two sirloin filets in airtight packages that I am thawing in warm water. It's 1AM so I don't have time to let it thaw at room temperature. I hear it's not good to thaw the meat at high heat because of the bacterial reproduction. Is this really harmful even though I will be grilling them to medium?
