Food & Drink - 11 December 2007

Am I to assume that this recipe is asking for unsalted butter because it also has you adding salt to the cookies. I found this statement and am wondering if it is true. Recipes are written for unsalted butter. If you only have salted in the house, omit any salt that might be in the recipe.

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE SWIRLED Holiday Morsels
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
Powdered sugar

I am putting together cookie trays for each of my family christmas parties. So far I am planning to make chocolate chip cookies with m&m's, cut out sugar cookies, and those peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses on top. I am looking for some extra ideas. Any suggestions?

I'm from Germany and I have to find out something about Australian food for my English lessons. Can you help me? What do you usually eat for breakfast? And what do you eat for lunch? Just write what you usually eat. (I know my English is very bad :) ) Maybe you can help me. Thank you.

I have made these many times only the seasoned bread crumbs seem to burn a little and then the kids won't eat them. Would flour be a better choice instead of bread crumbs? They should taste like McDonald's chicken fingers. What is the secret to doing this?

Thanks

I am learning to cook PROPERLY - i.e. moving up from your spag.bol. - where can I find out which spices go with what?

I am not really confident to just mix and match things at this stage, I just want to know what spices complement what foods and perhaps how they do so. e.g. this brings out the natural spiciness of X (or whatever) thanks

Is salt, just that, salt? I was wondering if the salt they spread on streets ect. is the same salt you put on your food? Is it edible? I'm not planning on eating it but was just wondering.

Hey. I'm an alchoholic.... I go to AA an afterwards I pick up some beer and drink it before I get home so my mom doesn't know.. Maybe I should go to rehab but I dont think I want to because that's for alchohlics. I will probably need to hit a serious bottom before I actually quite. I don't think bad grades in high school is enough for me.... Maybe attempting to kill myself or living on the steet for a few months will motivate me a little further... Until then I will just keep on hiding my bottles and going to school while telling everyone I'm sick and that's why my eyes are red and I'm always exhausted.....

I have a recipe that calls for 1/2 c. of vinaigrette, but none of the dressings at the store are simply vinaigrette. They're all "red wine" or "balsamic" or "raspberry."

I've heard that it is something you just get use to, but I just have not. Does you have any tricks to weene yourself to the test. Beer is a lot less expensive than vodka.

i am moving and not taking any of the food with me. in fact while planning for the move, decided not to buy any groceries to add to the packing list. starting from scratch again. is there somewhere i can look to find a good "fresh start" grocery list, in lieu of me walking down each and every aisle?? no dietary restrictions. just me and an 11 year old boy.

How old does someone have to be in order for you to call them senior? Do people being called seniors find the word senior to be offensive?

I am asking this question in the V&V section because I am a vegan.

I dont let myself get drunk but i like to have alcohol in my system as it makes me feel more 'confident',i am wondering if i've build up a tolerance as it takes alot to get me drunk. I only drink if i'm going out or meeting people,it's like a habit now,i tend to drink vodka straight which i know isnt healthy,whats wrong with me?
