Food & Drink - 16 December 2007

I am preparing a simple beef stew/soup in my crockpot and am curious the best way to thicken it up a bit. I know flour can do this, but am curious as to how much and when exactly to add the flour, should I do this at the start or the middle or closer to the end.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I've really only eaten fish that I've caught myself- trout and perch, some catfish. I like all of those, especially pan fried. But I'd like to start eating fish for the health benefits. Any tips?

After all the recent TV ads from this company i just wondered that if they did they knew that quite a number of their products come from other countries such as Thailand,Brazil and Poland ( mainly chicken products ) and i wondered about the traceability of these products as far as production and hygiene are concerned as well as food miles, also whats wrong with British meat?
So mums,if you do go to Iceland will you be more concerned where the food comes from? I admit we shop there and most of the products are fine but why do they need to use foreign sources for their products,food for thought?

The common sense answer would be to use a can opener, but the blade is too short to reach the top of the can because it wasn't made for a can opener.

I had gone to this local restraunt and ordered angel hair pasta in olive oil, garlic, and tomato- and fell in love with it. I know this sounds silly because the ingredients are olive oil, garilic, and tomato---i don't think there was anything else. My question is--how do i make it? Do i combine it all in a pan, do i boil the tomatoes first, do i just warm the oil and garlic add tomatoes later.....I really want it to be good so I will take any ideas! Please leave em' if ya got em'. Thanks : )

This morning it was dark in the kitchen and I just reached into the fridge and grabbed from the bag of bagels. I toasted it up and ate it and it tasted just fine.

Then just now I went back to the fridge, looked inside, and was horrified to notice that ALL of the bagels in the bag are covered with patches of FUZZY GREEN MOLD.

Now I am scared. It has been about four or five hours since I ate the bagel and I feel completely normal. But just the thought of eating that green fuzzy mold makes me want to hurl!!!!

How long does it take for food poisoning to show up? Am I going to get sick? Should I go to the hospital? (It's Sunday afternoon and the doctor office is not open!!)

Even on a Saturday night you are lucky to get a half hour extension. Im not talking about binge drinking teenagers falling out of pubs, but middle aged people who like to meet friends and have a few beers, if you work late in the evening you have no chance to go anywhere, or you go out and are just getting cosy and you have to leave.

apparently when animals are slaughtered for meat they get stressed and produce enzymes which go into the meat. When humans then eat the meat they become stressed and angry. therefore vegetarians are less stressed. please could someone send me in the direction of some scientific research confirming this matter.

Specifically, tapioca pudding cups. I've had them in the fridge since the first week of November.

I'm just curious. I have finally found a recipe that I like but am wondering how other vegans make their hot cocoa- since I'd love to try something new. I'm interested in dry mix versions as well as on the spot requires fresh "milk" versions.

(My current recipe is very basic: soy milk, sugar, cocoa, and very important... a big splash of vanilla extract.)

Suggestions for other variations I should try?
