Cooking & Recipes - January 2007

I heard it been said that not eating or eating a lot less is not good because it slows down your metabolism and ultimately does not help you lose weight. I am just wondering how can this be true when you look at Nicole Richie or other celebrities that are emaciated thin from not eating. Looks like they lost some weight to me! So besides from the obvious health danger (I am not suggesting starvation here) why is it so terrible to not eat if your trying to lose weight?

Is there a formula or "rule of thumb" for baking in a toaster oven as opposed to a regular oven. I baked a loaf of Irish brown bread from a store bought mix today. The instructions for a regular oven called for a baking time of 40 to 45 minutes at 400 degrees. I set my alarm at 35 minutes & happened to walk into the kitchen after 25 minutes. I glanced at the bread & saw that it was done & the top was beginning to burn. I run into this problem constantly and haven't been able to figure out a system to avoid it. Do I have to hover around the toaster oven and just check visually or is there some way to re-figure baking times? Thanx in advance for any info & advice.

I don't have a grill, so I'm using the stovetop. The recipe said to cook it on high for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Well, each side got burned a little and the inside is still bleeding. Help?

I bake all my bread at home rather than buy it. Its cheaper and it takes better. However, it does dry out quickly. The dried ends get cut off and cubed so the rest of the loaf can be used. My dilema: I need more things to use the dried bread for than bread pudding and stuffing! It rarely stays in sliced form, so French Toast is hard to manage.

What are some good recipies for dry cubed bread for a family whose tastes are not very adventurous?

Question for Americans:

Fortunately I go to Québec often enough to stock up on horsemeat roasts and steaks which are sold in most supermarkets and public markets there.

Are there any American meat packers or supermarkets that offer (for sale in the USA - I know that most of the horsemeat sold in Europe is from the US) horsemeat for human consumption? Any artisan butcher shops in your area that do so?

I am not a fan of hunting and not into meat very much, however, husband came home with some deer meat (about 3 lbs) he was given as a gift which he felt awkward refusing. He has been warned of future "gifts".

I feel it would disrespect the life the animal gave to just chuck it away.

Not sure what to do with it. Hamburgers and are not the answer. Appreciate your suggestions. Any good recipes?

...and I don't mean 'add water to Smash'!
I generally boil my potatoes for about twenty minutes until they are so soft that they fall apart at the slightest prick with a fork, then drain them, add a knob of butter and then mash them for about two to three minutes until the now mashed potato is smooth and fluffy.
My nan on the other hand swears by boiling the potatoes for only five minutes and adding pepper and mayonnaise to the mix...yuk!
