Cooking & Recipes - October 2007

Thanksgiving is around the corner, and Christmas is not too far behind. I am eagerly wanting to smoke a turkey for the holidays. I either plan to choose (in order of preference) between apple, cherry, or maple. Not so much hickory. In any case, I am oblivious how to pick the wood.

Does it have to be kiln-dried, "seasoned" or "green": low or high moisture? I do plan on pre-soaking my wood. But I wouldn't know if green wood produces a better tasting smoke than a moisture free kiln-dried wood.

Also, is it okay to use wood that has has bark, or must it come from the heart? I was told that using bark produces bitter smoke, then again another source says that it doesn't matter because over-smoking is what caused the bitterness.

This is in regards to those particular woods I'm interested in. Unless someone has a conviction to use otherwise, please do tell. Thanks in advance!

I've got a bowl of angel food cake mix and one 8.5-inch loaf pan. The recipe says I should put 1/3 of the mix into that size pan. However, I'm quite bad at estimating thirds in cases like this, when stuff is in a single large bowl.

I don't want to end up with three uneven cakes. Any tips for measuring out what one-third of the batter would be?

I have some tilapia that can be microwaved. I have two questions.

1. Can it be grilled instead?
2. What are some inexpensive ways of spicing it up without making it spicy? Tilapia has a mild flavor; what kind of marinades or spices could I use besides salt and pepper?
