Question: What’s the best way to whip up a delicious batch of spicy puffed rice for a healthy snack?

Introduction: Spicy Puffed Rice - a Gluten Free Healthy Snack. <PIC> Being living in a tropical country, its very common to expect unpredictable climate. Yes especially this year, the climate is really horrible. Hot sunny in the morning whereas in the night its pretty chill & cold. But today in the evening, despite of hot sun, suddenly started pouring heavy rain. I being chat lover, (Infact craving for chat items from last sunday since we had yummy delicious dinner in Sankaranthi Restaurant) was very tempted to eat something spicy& tangy. Added to that my MIL send me some green mangoes from her garden.I am bit tempted and thinking what recipe I can prepare in Jiffy.I called my friend and she suggested this quick chat recipe. Yes its the famous " Kaara pori". I felt very refreshed as we shared some old memories of beach chatting with our school friends. Hmm.. Its very common in Indian beaches selling Kaara pori aka Masala pori, whereas here am totally missing this pori & my friends. With all nice memories wholeheartedly, I prepared this recipe. I dedicate to all my friends who get remind of their beach chatting. Lets go for this quick recipe. Step 1: Information About the Ingredients Needed :. <PIC> Puffed rice :Puffed rice is a type of puffed grain made from rice; usually made by heating rice kernels under high pressure in the presence of steam, though the method of manufacture varies widely.Puffed rice is used in breakfast cereals, snack foods like puffed rice cakes, and is also a popular street food in some parts of the world. It is an ingredient of bhel puri, a popular Indian chaat (snack). It is also used in temples and gurdwaras as prasad (an offering).Pori is offered to Hindu gods and goddesses in all poojas in the South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Pilgrims of Sabarimala often pack puffed rice in their Irumudikettu along with jaggery meant to be offered to Lord Ayyappan. Tamil saints say that Lord Ganesh loves pori, so it should be offered to him without fail. Pori (Puffed Rice) has been mentioned in various Tamil literatures as an offering to Hindu deities. Offerings of pori and jaggery made to Vinayagar (Lord Ganesh) are mentioned in the Tiruppugazh, a 15th-century anthology of Tamil religious songs, written by Tamil poet Arunagirinathar.
Pori production has been the main family business for centuries among many villages around Namakkal, Avinashi in Tamil Nadu.
In Telangana, as a snack typically given to children, puffed rice or bongulu is made into ball with jaggery syrup or bellam pakam.

Mudhi is a staple food of people of Odisha.[1] northern Odisha, especially Baripada, Mayurbhanj district is significant for the production of Mudhi, where throughout the state it is eaten in breakfast.[2] NGOs have taken forward initiatives to engage village women of northern Odisha for producing Mudhi.[3]Intellectual property rights (IPR) Cell of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) has decided to bring out Geographical indication (GI)registration of Mudhi.[4]
A traditional puffed rice called muri (sometimes spelled mouri) is made by heating rice in a sand-filled oven. Muri is to rice as popcorn is to corn. The processing involved makes rice less perishable. Mandakki is a staple food in many parts of Rayalaseema, North Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal andBangladesh. Jhalmuri or Masalemandakki is a very popular preparation made from mandakki (muri).[5]
Puffed rice is referred to as mur-mure in some parts of India. In many parts of Rayalaseema, North Karnataka uggani along with Menasinakaayi Bajji (Chilli Bajjis) are popular. In Karnataka, Mandakki Usli made from mandakki is also famous. In Mithila area, "murhi" is had with "kachari"-fried potato/onion chops, fried fish or with mutton curry. "Jhal-murhi" and "Murhi-Bhuja" are also very popular snacks in this area. In Madhya Pradesh, this is referred to as Parmal and its very often eaten with Sev as a snack and also used in Bhel. (Source : Wikepedia).Chat Masala :This spice powder is a combination of corriander seeds powder, cumin powder, cloves, cinnamon & black pepper powder. My mom used to prepare this powder and keep it at fridge.So whenever we want we can use. But here I used ready made mix. I showed the picture that I used. Step 2: Ingredients :. <PIC> Puffed rice (Pori) - 1 cupPeanuts - 1/4 cup

Curry leaves - 1 spring
Oil - 1 tbsp
salt to tasteI enclosed the picture of puffed rice for reference.

Question: What’s the best way to cook bacon in the oven for a perfect crispy finish?

Introduction: How to Cook Bacon in the Oven. <PIC> Cooking your bacon in the oven is the most efficient way to cook it as far as I'm concerned. Using your oven makes cooking bacon for a crowd nice and easy and frees up your stovetop for all the other breakfast foods you're undoubtably wanting to stuff your face with. :DAnd the best part? The bacon comes out nicely cooked every time and the trays clean up easily.Read on to learn how to cook perfect bacon in the oven. P.S. Lots of commenters are recommending cooking it at a lower temp. I have never ever had smoke or god forbid, FIRE, happen when cooking these at 400 F, but if you skip the parchment paper there's a chance - you don't want the bacon directly on the hot sheet pan. Use your best judgement if your oven runs hot. :) Step 1: What You'll Need:. <PIC> a rimmed baking sheetparchment paperbaconan oven set to 400 FAnd that's it! Dead simple. Step 2: Lay Out the Bacon. <PIC> Lay the bacon down on the parchment paper so none of the pieces are overlapping. If you overlap them, they won't crisp up as well. Step 3: Bake!. <PIC> Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 F or until it's as crispy as you like! Don't flip it, just let it hang out.If you're doing multiple trays of bacon, switch the racks they're on halfway through.The first photo is the bacon 8 minutes in - the second is the finished bacon after 16 minutes. :) Step 4: Drain & Serve. <PIC> Once it's done, shake off the excess fat and drain on paper towels.For extra credit, strain the drippings and store them in your fridge. :D


Question: What is the recommended temperature and baking duration for cooking bacon in the oven?

Since my taste buds were craving something a little sweet and savory I decide to give corn fritters a try. Boy oh boy, these were some kind of good. The flavors took me back in time to my childhood.

Question: What is the best way to create a delicious frappuccino without using a blender?

Introduction: How to Make a Frappuccino Without a Blender. <PIC> The other day I was trying to think of how I could make a frappuccino at work without a blender. I was thinking about my options and remember the Slush Mug. I've never had one before, but always wanted to try one. So, I decided to go for it and buy one to see if it would work and it did!Now, this won't magically make you a frozen frappuccino. It takes time for it to work (roughly 23 minutes to get the desired consistency), but you get great results. It's especially good because you are guaranteed to not have big chunks of ice in your drink. I think it works out pretty good especially since I want to use it at work so I won't just be there drinking it. So it can freeze while I'm sitting there working.*This cup actually contains 2 slush mugs worth of drink. Step 1: Supplies. <PIC> You are going to need your slush cup and the ingredients for your drink for this project. One option is to go with this Vanilla Frappuccino recipe.Below I'm going to give the basics of making up your own Frappuccino with whatever syrup flavors you want. All you really need is the proportions then you can try out different syrup combinations. Also, the slushie cup is only going to hold about a cup or so of liquid. So you can scale down for one serving, or make multiple servings ahead of time and use it as you need it (this is a good method as the mix will always be nice and cold and ready to go in the slush mug).Drink Ingredients:6c Milk - My slush mug suggests you use Skim Milk, but I've had success with 2%. I would stay away from whole or anything thicker.1/2c - 1c Strong Coffee (I only used 1 cup because I'm not a huge fan of coffee flavor, but if you like it, go ahead and add more in)24 tbsp of Syrups + Simple Syrup (I'm going to keep this in tablespoons so that you can easily do different combinations) | I did 12tbsp Caramel Syrup and 12tbsp simple syrup - use less or more if you prefer, I like things sweeter.Rough Estimate of Single Serving:3/4c of Milk + Strong coffee (I would say to just put them together in a measuring cup to get an idea of how much of each)2tbsp Caramel Syrup (or syrup of choice)1-2tbsp Simple SyrupSupplies:Freezer (duh) Slush Mug* Reusable StrawsSpoon for stirring* This is what I used, but there are other products you can consider. I looked around before I decided what product to buy. Step 2: Preparation. <PIC> To get started, you need to freeze your slush mug core. The product directions suggest you let it freeze for 6-12 hours in the coldest part of the freezer. I don't know what part is technically the coldest, but it would be best to keep it as far from the door as you can.Mix up your drink. It is good to do this ahead of time as you can then have enough for multiple drinks and they suggest you have the drink cold when you put it in the mug. By having it premixed there is no delay with mixing; you just take it out of the fridge and pour it in the mug.Drink Ingredients:6c Milk - My slush mug suggests you use Skim Milk, but I've had success with 2%. I would stay away from whole or anything thicker.1/2c - 1c Strong Coffee (I only used 1 cup because I'm not a huge fan of coffee flavor, but if you like it, go ahead and add more in)24 tbsp of Syrups + Simple Syrups (I'm going to keep this in tablespoons so that you can easily do different combinations) | I did 12tbsp (3/4c) Caramel Syrup and 12tbsp (3/4c) simple syrup - use less or more if you prefer, I like things sweeter. Step 3: Use Your Slush Mug. <PIC> You should stir the drink every few minutes or so. I think it's mostly important that you scrape down any frozen drink that is sticking to the inside of the cup. You want to make sure it is all staying mixed and slushie.Keep bringing the frozen mixture from the bottom of the glass to the top and let the liquid go down to the bottom as much as you can as it appears to freeze more from the bottom up.2:00 - Still all liquid5:30 - Some frozen to scrape from the side of the cup8:00 - Same13-14:00 - Started to be more slushie18:00 - Little more slushie23:00 - More slush27:00 - More slush30:00 - About as slushie as it is going to get. Pretty much all slush at this point. Step 4: Enjoy. <PIC> You can choose to drink it out of the Slush Mug or in another cup. The product suggests you take it out so you can refreeze the core right away so it will be ready for next time. I noticed that when I drank it right from the mug, it continued to keep refreezing it, so it actually never melted (or at least never melted by the time I finished it). So to play it safe, just leave it right in the mug. If you wanna be fancy, put it in another cup. Also, if you leave it in the slush mug, you'll probably have to scrap the sides from time to time since it will keep freezing. I just used my straw.


Question: What is the recommended freezing duration for the slush mug core when making 'How to Make a Frappuccino Without a Blender'?

The recommended freezing duration for the slush mug core when making 'How to Make a Frappuccino Without a Blender' is 6-12 hours in the coldest part of the freezer.<PIC>

Question: What’s the best way to prepare delicious shredded pork belly tacos for a satisfying meal?

Introduction: SHREDDED PORK BELLY TACOS. <PIC> Occasionally, I get a serious hankering for a street style taco. Usually, when that happens, I'll go with shredded beef or chicken, or even spicy tilapia. When I saw pork belly on sale at the local supermarket, however, I knew I wanted to try something different. Hopefully, this recipe will inspire you to try something new as well.As always, thanks for reading. Step 1: INGREDIENTS. <PIC> Pork belly is a very decadent cut of meat. It is generally used to make American style bacon. Most of the recipes I found on the internet using pork belly were of the "how to make bacon" variety.You will need:2 lbs pork belly. (Depending on where you get it will determine the size. I got mine from the grocery butcher.)1/2 Cup brown sugar2 tsp. chili powder1/2 tsp garlic powder1/2 tsp onion powder1/2 tsp cumin1/4 tsp ground all-spice1.5 tsp sea salt-For this recipe, I procured a 4 lbs belly. However, since I didn't want to use it all for this recipe, I set aside half of it to make bacon.- Step 2: PREP. <PIC> Combine your spices in a bowl and set aside. As my belly came with skin, I chose to leave it on and make a series of diamond slashes in it to allow the spices to soak in. I placed the meat on a wire rack in a roasting pan and rubbed the spices on heavily. -I placed the remaining spice rub in a bag to use for my bacon-I placed the pan in the fridge for an hour, then heated my oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Step 3: BAKE. <PIC> I placed the pan in the oven initially for 10 minutes. This allowed the spice mix to melt a little and let the fat and skin on the top crisp slightly. I removed it from the oven and reduced the heat to 220 degrees Fahrenheit.When the oven had cooled slightly, I added 1.5 Cups of water to the bottom of the pan and placed it back in the oven for 90 minutes.After 90 minutes, the internal temperature reached 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I wanted the temperature to hover around this point for as long as possible for collagen in the connective tissues to break down, so I lowered the oven to 195 degrees Fahrenheit and placed the belly back in the oven for another 90 minutes. I also added another 1.5 cups of water to the pan.Now it was time to render the fat a bit. I raised the temperature up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and removed the rack. I wanted it to braise in it's liquid. After 30 minutes, I flipped the belly skin down and added 2 cups of water and 1 cup of cider vinegar. After that, back into the oven for another 60 minutes. Step 4: REST and SHRED. <PIC> I removed it from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes. I cut off the skin and the fat cap then I shredded that sucker. I ended up with 3/4 lbs of tender, succulent shredded pork belly. Instead of wasting the skin and fat cap, I decided to make chicharones (also known as lardons) I simply fried the skin pieces in fat until they started popping like pig popcorn. These can be either eaten like they are or added to beans/soups to add flavor. Step 5: SERVE IT UP. <PIC> I heated up some corn tortillas in an iron skillet and loaded them down with the shredded pork belly, shredded cabbage and lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. With a dash of fresh lime they were delicious! I made another couple of tacos with the shredded cabbage and lettuce, Sriracha, and shredded cheese as well. They were so good I didn't even get to take pictures before they were eaten.I think the pork belly was a success. If you decide to try this for yourself, please tell me how it turned out. Have a great day!

Question: What is the best way to prepare a delicious ham and broccoli quiche for a special brunch?

Introduction: Ham and Broccoli Quiche. <PIC>
This is one of my favorite dishes to make on a Sunday afternoon. We serve it with a garden salad or fresh fruit. I plan on taking one to my mother in law's house for Mother's day brunch this year! It is pretty simple-follow the basic quiche ratios, add ham and broccoli. I also like to add mild cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar doesn't melt as well).
Ingredients:
1 frozen pie crust shell, thawed
1 cup leftover broccoli, chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup ham, cooked and diced
5 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (I used 1%)
1/4 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried minced Garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried chopped onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon parsley (optional)
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
Pre-heat oven to 375°.
Prick the bottom of the thawed crust with a fork. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Dice your ham and broccoli. Saute the ham in a small  pan. This removes the excess moisture, and will keep your quiche from becoming soggy. Sprinkle your ham in the bottom of the pie crust.
Beat the eggs and milk until slightly frothy. Mix in the mustard,garlic,onion flakes,paprika and parsley(optional). Salt and pepper to taste. [I choose to not use any salt, since there is plenty of salt in cheese.]
Pour egg mix into the baked pie crust.
Sprinkle broccoli and cheese (optional) over egg mixture.
Bake at 375° for about 30 minutes, or until quiche filling is set and top is ever so slightly browned.
HINT: tap your quiche. If it bounces back at you, its perfect!


Question: What should you do with the thawed pie crust before adding the filling for the 'Ham and Broccoli Quiche,' and how long should it be baked?

Before adding the filling for 'Ham and Broccoli Quiche,' you should prick the bottom of the thawed crust with a fork and bake it for 10 minutes.<PIC>

The ingredients you need are: 1 package of white cake mix (regular size), 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) of lemon lime soda, neon food coloring, 1 can (16 ounces) of vanilla frosting, and sprinkles (optional). Once you have gathered all your ingredients, you can move on to the next steps.  Step 2: . <PIC> Second: You combine the cake mix and lemon-lime soda. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds or until all the cake batter is mixed. The batter will look and feel weird, but that's how the lemon-lime soda makes it look/feel so don't worry, you're doing it right so far. :) Step 3: . <PIC> Third: Divide the batter among bowls. The amount of bowls you need depends on how much batter you have, which in this case I needed 4. After they are divided equally, add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl; stir until there is no more white cake batter and all the food coloring is evenly mixed. Step 4: . <PIC> Fourth: Drop a spoonful of one color of batter into each of 18 paper-lined muffin cups. If there is batter remaining after you have put 1 spoonful in each muffin cup, continue putting a spoonful till all the cake batter is gone or the muffin cup is two-thirds full. Step 5: . <PIC> Fifth: Once all the batter is gone and evenly divided among the muffin cups, bake them at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan, then put them on a wire rack to cool completely. Once they are cooled, frost tops and decorate with sprinkles. The sprinkles are optional. Enjoy! :)

Question: What’s the best way to create a delicious strawberry and lemon curd pie with whole wheat crust?

Introduction: C(ircumference)/d(iameter) = Pi! As Represented by My Strawberry & Lemon Curd Whole Wheat Pie. <PIC> This recipe is for a strawberry and lemon curd pie with a whole wheat pate brisee.
I used this pie to represent Pi is equal to Circumference divided by diameter. In the picture above, the outer crust forms a C (for circumference), with a line through the middle representing its diameter (note by the "d") and a division sign.  At the edges of the C is an equals sign which all together represents "C/d = pi(e)"
Enjoy! Step 1: Make the Pate Brisee. <PIC> Please Note: You'll need to make the pate brisee at least a half hour before you're ready to make your pie.
Ingredients
1 and 1/4 cups white flour
1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 stick plus 2 tbsp very cold butter (10 tbsp total)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
iced water *
*Have a full cup of water ready with a tablespoon handy. You'll need to add at least 7 tablespoons and may need to add more depending on your flour, humidity in the air, etc.
To make:
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl
Cut the butter into small cubes and mix into the flour until it resembles cornmeal. There shouldn't be any big chunks of butter. I used a fork, but it might be easier to use a pastry cutter.
Gradually add water a couple spoonfuls at a time and mix until it forms a dough. It should stick, but not be too wet.  I needed about 14 tablespoons.
Divide the dough into two, shape into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap.  Refridgerate for at least 30 minutes. Step 2: Get Ready to Make the Pie (or Pi). <PIC>
	Take the Pate Brisee out of the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Step 3: Make the Strawberry Filling. <PIC>
	Ingredients:
	2 10oz bags of frozen strawberries, thawed
	2-3 tbsp. of granulated sugar (depend on how sweet the strawberries are)
	2 tbsp of flour
	1 tsp vanilla extract
	To make:
	In a bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, flour, and vanilla until well mixed.  Set aside. Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Pie. <PIC> You'll need:
A pie pan
Prepared pate brisee, that's been out of the refrigerator for a bit
Some flour for dusting
Your strawberry filling
3 tbsp of lemon curd (I used jarred)
A few tablespoons of milk and some sugar (for brushing onto the dough)
& a cookie sheet, just in case there's some spillage in the oven
Confectioners' Sugar, for later.
On a floured surface, roll out one of the crusts until it's large enough (plus a little slack) to fit in your pie pan.
Carefully put it in the pie pan.
Roll out the second pie crust. (For this contest, I cut this second crust into a C, a line to represent the diameter and a division symbol, the letter d, and an equals symbol (=)).
Spread the lemon curd evenly on top of the bottom layer of the crust.  Top with the strawberry filling and spread until it's evenly distributed.
Top with second pie crust.  Crimp the edges of the bottom and top crusts (I used a fork).  Brush of milk and dust with granulated sugar.  *If you're using the full second crust on top, cut a few slits to let any steam out while baking.
Put the pie on the cookie sheet.  Cover the edges with a few strips of foil.  Bake for 45 minutes (rotate halfway through), remove the foil and bake for another 15.
Let the pie cool completely on a cooling rack and then dust with confectioners' sugar.  (For the contest, I covered the "exposed" part of the pie with parchment paper and only dusted the crust with sugar). Cut, eat, and enjoy!


Question: What are the steps for rolling out the pie crust and preparing the second pie crust for 'C(ircumference)/d(iameter) = Pi! As Represented by My Strawberry & Lemon Curd Whole Wheat Pie'?

Question: What is the overall process for creating delightful mini apple tarts from scratch?

Introduction: Mini Apple Tarts. <PIC>    A delicious apple tart warm or cold.   A while back I bought mini tart shells imagining I would be using them weekly. Well, It's been almost a year since I bought them, still unused. I decided today was the day I created something tasty with these pans!  Step 1: The Dough. <PIC>    For the dough I mixed 1/2 cup of margarine with 1/4 cup of sugar until just mixed. I then added 1 1/2 cups of flour that had a pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, a pinch of ginger and a pinch of nutmeg already sifted in. Mix your dough until just combined and no more. Wrap up your dough and put it in the fridge for about 40 minutes. Step 2: Rolling the Dough. <PIC>    Roll your dough out to about 1/4 inch and lay it in your tart shell pans. I used a fork to poke holes in the dough so when it baked the air bubbles could escape and leave the finished product without air bubbles. I baked these in a 400 degree oven until they were almost golden brown (8-10 minutes but keep and eye on them because my oven is kinda wonky).    Pull your shells out and brush them with a thin coat of beaten egg, this will keep your shells nice and crisp once all of the wet filling is added. Put them back in the oven until everything is a light golden brown. Pull your shells out and leave them to cool. Step 3: The Filling. <PIC> I cut up 3 Macintosh apples (use your favorite) roughly and put them in a pot with the juice and zest of half a lemon, 2 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of margarine, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of both ginger and nutmeg.   I cooked this on medium heat until the apples were nice and soft. Leave this mixture to cool slightly.  Step 4: Apples on Top. <PIC>    I took another 3 macs, cored them and sliced them up. These will be put on top to make our tart pretty. I left them soaking in water with lemon juice to help keep them from discoloring.  If you were working with a firmer apple you could cook these down a bit but at the end we will be broiling these apples and I found mine softened to a good consistency like that. Step 5: Filling Your Tarts. <PIC>    With all of my elements slightly cooled I even divided my apple filling between all 7 tart shells. One top I tried to fan out my apples into a nice pattern but they were a little large to do what I had intended. Lay them however you would like and sprinkle with a touch of white sugar and cinnamon, then broil in the oven to just melt the sugar.   I am a huge fan of pies and tarts cold but I have to admit I couldn't wait until they cooled off and they were delicious then as well :)

Makes 9 four inch pancakes. Notes:  My 3 year old has two opinions of food...its either delicious and he will eat it, or "NOT delicious" and he spits it out (charming, I know).  These pancakes happily fall into the former category!  He ate his entire breakfast and asked for seconds.  They are so quick and easy....the perfect way to use up ripe bananas!  Sometimes I also throw in a handful of chopped walnuts :)

The combination of chocolate, butter, coffee and spice balanced by a moderate amount of sugar make this an ideal adult brownie. Step 1: Ingredients. <PIC> 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate1 stick (1/4 pound) unsalted butter1 1/2 cup cooked black beans (or one 15.5oz can), well drained1 tablespoon vanilla extract2 teaspoons finely ground espresso beans1 tablespoon chili powder1 teaspoon nutmeg1/4 teaspoon sea salt6 large eggs, separated1/2 cup sugar Step 2: Preparation. <PIC> Pre-heat oven to 325°FIn a double boiler (or over low heat if you don't have a double boiler), melt the butter and chocolate.Mash the beans (preferably by hand) until smooth.Add vanilla, egg yolks, espresso, salt, sugar, chili powder and nutmeg. Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter into the mix, stirring to prevent the egg yolks from cooking.Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Note: It is important to understand the difference between "mixing" and "folding." You mix ingredients by beating them with a fork, spoon, or in a mixer or food processor. When you fold ingredients together you should use a soft spatula and you must do it by hand. Your goal is to blend the ingredients while preserving the lightness of the texture (usually you're folding beaten egg whites with some other heavier combination of ingredients). I prefer to put small portions of the heavier ingredients into my egg whites, then mix by scraping the bottom of the bowl and gently "folding" the ingredients over the egg whites. I add more of the heavy mix before the first batch is completely blended, and at the end slice through the remaining blobs of unmixed egg whites.Pour into a baking pan (approximately 9" by 13") and bake for approximately 25 minutes. There's no need to grease the pan. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick or small knife into the brownies. If it comes out clean, you're done.Allow to cool completely before digging in!

Question: What are some effective ways to maximize the use of fresh herbs and spices in my cooking?

Introduction: Make More of Fresh Herbs and Spices. <PIC> You've been to the market and got carried away buying the ingredients for a Thai curry... Now how do you avoid wasting all those herbs and spices? In my house we eat lots of spicy food, but I still find I don't use all of that bunch of coriander before it goes limp and tired in the fridge.So here are some ways to get more use from your herbs and spices. Step 1: In the Fridge. <PIC> Wash leafy herbs like coriander and parsley and dry in a salad spinner. Put in a plastic container on a layer of paper towel and keep in the salad crisper. This also works for bagged salads. Lasts several days longer than if left in the bag.Chillies, lemon grass and ginger will keep for a week or so in the salad crisper. Step 2: Freezing Spices. <PIC> Lemon grass, curry leaves and kaffir lime leaves keep beautifully in a plastic bag in the freezer. Use straight from the freezer.I use the food processor to slice chillies, then use them from frozen in curries and on pizzas.Ginger and garlic can be grated or chopped finely and frozen in ice cube trays. Better and cheaper than the jars you can buy. Step 3: Freezing Leafy Herbs. <PIC> Use a food processor to chop the herbs, removing large stalks. Transfer to a plastic container, label and freeze immediately. Stir straight into curries, stir-fries or stews.I keep coriander and parsley always, and freeze dill and mint when I have them to spare.Large parsley and coriander stalks can be frozen separately and used to make stock.Basil is better made into pesto.


Question: How should leafy herbs like coriander and parsley be stored in the fridge to last longer when preparing 'Make More of Fresh Herbs and Spices'?

To make 'Make More of Fresh Herbs and Spices,' leafy herbs like coriander and parsley should be washed and dried in a salad spinner, then placed in a plastic container on a layer of paper towel and kept in the salad crisper. This method lasts several days longer than if left in the bag.<PIC>


Question: What’s the overall process for crafting a severed arm cake that’s both spooky and delicious?

Introduction: Severed Arm Cake. For a interestingly bothersome yet kinda cool Halloween cake, I decided to create a severed arm. Yup...that's right. It's gorey, slightly realistic, a little bothersome and gross but it's all cake after all - and hey, that's Halloween for ya. This is indeed quite simpler than it looks, especially if you have a good hand with rolled cakes (pumpkin roll, etc.)You'll Need:Jelly roll pan (or 9x14 pan)Cake batter (1/2 the amount)Maroon or red colored frostingStrawberry cake fillingMaroon or red food colorwaterBlack fondantSkin tone (any shade) fondantBrown petal dustYellow petal dustParchment paperSpatula or knife Step 1: Jelly Roll. <PIC> We're going to start off by making a rolled cake for the arm.To do this, grease a jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper. Pour enough batter to come up about an 1 inch (enough for 1 9 in. pan). Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. When baked, remove from the pan while warm. With the parchment attached to the bottom, lay another piece of parchment on top. Roll the cake up and allow to cool. Once the cake is cooled, carefully unroll it and remove the top layer of parchment. Smear with red frosting and roll back up, using the bottom parchment to help roll the cake up while peeling it away at the same time. Measure the cake with your own arm to decide where the elbow would be. Cut that piece, bend it and cover the cake with frosting, smooth and refrigerate until cold.  Step 2: Hand. <PIC> For this you'll need to make a cake dough and a tracing of your own hand. Make a cake dough by adding a bit of frosting to cake crumbs and combine until the dough can be easily molded (similar to clay). Place a piece of parchment onto the stencil and shape the cake dough to the hand stencil. Watch the video tutorial to get a full grasp of this step. Allow the cake to chill until hardened. Carefully remove the hand from the parchment and attach to the arm. Use cake dough to shape the arm into the hand, then cut a small gap away from the wrist.  Step 3: Cover. <PIC> Roll out the fondant and cover the arm and hand separately making sure to keep that gap open. Carefully shape the fondant around the fingers. This is easiest when using a fondant ball tool to get in between fingers. Then cut away the fondant and tuck any extra under the arm. Cut knuckles into the fingers. I then used brown petal dust to add shadow and bring out muscular features to the arm. This step is crucial to make a realistic arm. Bring the dust between the fingers, around the knuckles and down the arm. Remember to blend out the dust so that there are no harsh lines.Make the fingernails by indenting with a small tool. I used the back end of a paint brush. Then dust the edge with brown petal dust. This is when you'd make any small or large cuts into the arm and fingers. Step 4: Getting Gorey. <PIC> Add a small amount of water or clear extract to yellow petal dust (you can substitute with yellow gel dye) and color the wrist and all large and small cuts that you've created.  Paint the cuts red with burgundy or maroon gel dye. I then made a huge gash where the arm bends and painted that gash as well.Stitches: Roll out a thin piece of black fondant and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place wherever you'd like onto the cake. I placed mine over the wrist gap. Don't forget to splatter some of the blood. Step 5: A Bloody Mess. <PIC> I made realistic blood my mixing maroon gel dye, strawberry cake filling, and water. You can add this anywhere to the cake. I put a large amount at the end of the arm to make it look like it was bleeding out. When placing the cake onto this sheet tray I decided to offset the hand which looked great. So, this is where I put the rest of the gorey blood. I hope that you all enjoyed this instructable.

Question: What is the process for making delicious hotdog meatballs to enjoy with your favorite pasta?

Introduction: Hotdog Meatballs. <PIC> Another experiment in cooking. This would have probably been better as a meatloaf and next time that is what I am going to do.
I probably get exorcised from the family for doing this instructable, but then Italians have been of the mind to use what you have.
Hope you enjoy. Definitely this goes great with pasta, but did not take the time to cook some.
Note: sometimes using regular bologna or the like will give a better taste if hotdogs are overwhelming.
See also: https://www.instructables.com/id/Our-food-instructables/ Step 1: Ingreadients. 1 pack of eight hotdogs.
Handful of your favorite cheese
2 - 4 slices toasted bread (depends if mixture is too moist.)
1/4 onion
1 -2 eggs
Salt and a pinch of each of your favorite seasonings. (i.e. oregano and or parsley) Step 2: Food Prep Meat.. <PIC> Break up the onion and put in the food processor.
Slice the hotdogs into small pieces unless you have a powerful food processor.
Put the cut up dogs in the food processor.
Grind the heck out of the mixture of onion and meat.
Pour into mixing bowl. ( do not worry about getting every last bit as the bread should do that for you.) Step 3: Grind Up the Toast.. <PIC> Toast the bread if you have not already done so.
Break up the toast if your food processor is not super powerful.
You are doing the toast separately to make it easier to clean the food processor.
Pulverize the bread.
Empty into the mixing bowl. Step 4: Mix It Up.. <PIC> Add an egg (out of the shell) into the mixing bowl.
Add the cheese to the mixing bowl.
Mix well.
When combined well, store in the refrigerator a while to meld and let the bread soak up any extra liquid.
Not doing so will allow the meatballs to fall apart easily. Step 5: Time for Cooking.. <PIC> Add a little oil to the pan to just make it moist. Adding too much will allow the meatballs to break apart. (Think meatloaf then)
Take some of the meat mixture and roll it into a ball.
Put in hot pan and sauté till all sides are brown. The meat should be already cooked. you are just browning the meat for looks and the caramelized taste. Step 6: Serving Time.. <PIC> You probably want to boil up some pasta to go with the meatballs, but you do not have to.
Add sauce and serve.
Eat.


Question: For making 'Hotdog Meatballs,' what step should you take to help prevent the meatballs from falling apart?

To make 'Hotdog Meatballs,' you should store the mixed meat mixture in the refrigerator for a while. This allows the flavors to meld and helps the bread soak up any extra liquid, which is crucial for preventing the meatballs from falling apart.<PIC>

Question: What’s the best way to prepare a delicious hashbrown casserole for a comforting meal?

Introduction: Hashbrown Casserole. <PIC> Hashbrown casserole is a southern favorite when it comes to the holidays! I love love love it. Potatoes, cheese, and onions YEAH. :D
This hashbrown casserole came from my cousin Linda, which was passed to my mom and then to me. My mom made some small changes as did I. The end result is an over the top crazy delicious hashbrown casserole.
Be careful with this one - too much and you're on a train to food-coma-ville. It's a happy but not very productive place. :) Step 1: Ingredients:. <PIC>
		2 lbs frozen shredded potatoes or freshly shredded potatoes (I actually used a few more handfuls on top of that!)
		1 can cream of chicken soup
		1 cup sour cream
		1 cup milk
		1/2 cup butter, melted
		1 onion, chopped
		2 cups grated cheese
		pepperTony's seasoning (if you can't get Tony's where you are, order it! You will not be disappointed. :D)
You'll also need a 9x13 baking dish (glass works best) and an oven preheated to 350 F.
Chop the onion however big you like - I like mine a little chunkier. :D The cheese my mom recommends for this is a colby/jack mix, so I do that too. It's really good with anything that's not too smelly, though.
I don't add any salt to mine (the butter, cheese and soup will all have lots) but I do like adding a bit of Tony's seasoning and some pepper.
My mom says that you can turn it into a meal by adding ham to the mix - I want to add bacon! I didn't think about it until it was too late. Someone please add bacon and send me pictures. :D Step 2: Defrost/shred the Potatoes. <PIC> If you're using frozen potatoes you'll need to defrost them. I put them in a large bowl and pop them in the microwave on the defrost setting - it took about 10 minutes to get them nice and defrosted. If you're good at thinking ahead, you can always pop them in the fridge the night before. :)
Once they're defrosted, let them hang out in a colander while you get everything else together.
If you're shredding your own potatoes they won't need any extra draining. Step 3: Preheat and Combine!. <PIC> Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Chop the onion and melt the butter.
Then combine all the ingredients in your baking dish. Mix very well! You want the potatoes to be coated with everything. After it's mixed, press the potatoes flat in the dish. Step 4: Bake!. <PIC> Bake for 45 minutes at 350 F. After 45 minutes, it'll be done but looking kinda pale. If this doesn't bother you, chow down!
If you'd like a little more color, broil it on high for 5-10 minutes. I love doing this because it makes the top nice and crunchy. :D Step 5: Serve!. <PIC> Hashbrown casserole goes great with everything! I especially like it with ham or BBQ. :D
It's also a really good midnight snack when it's cold right from the fridge.


Question: What is the best way to defrost frozen potatoes when preparing Hashbrown Casserole?

To defrost frozen potatoes for Hashbrown Casserole, place them in a large bowl and microwave them on the defrost setting for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can simply place them in the fridge the night before. Once they are defrosted, let them drain in a colander while you prepare the other ingredients.<PIC>

Question: What’s the process for whipping up a delightful quick focaccia that can serve as a base for various toppings?

Introduction: Quick Focaccia. <PIC>
          Everybody should always have some bread dough at hand, no matter if it’s a sourdough, store bought or made with the no-knead method. Your lunch is never a problem if you have some bread dough. A few days ago I made some bread dough taking the idea from the “Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” and freely adapting their recipe. I used part of the dough to make pizza for dinner that very night and stashed the remaining dough in the fridge. It could be refrigerated for up to 10 days but it never happened to us, I’ve always used it up in a couple of days. I usually bake the focaccia in the stove on top of my baking stone but this time I was short of time and heated my stone on the stove, I rolled my dough and cooked it for a few minutes on both sides. There was my lunch. I seasoned the focaccia with some Tuscan extra virgin olive oil and added some rocket, shredded mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes and some thinly sliced speck.
Here are the ingredients for 3-4 focaccias or pizza bases:
		330-350 ml lukewarm water
		1 packet of dry yeast (2 ½ tsp)
		1 tsp fine sea salt
		1 tsp sugar
		30 ml extra virgin olive oil
		700 g all-purpose flour (Italian 0 flour)
Mix yeast, sugar and water (start with 330 ml and then add more at the end if needed) and oil in a large bowl, stir with a wooden spoon. Add flour and salt and mix well until all of the flour has been incorporated. If the dough is too dry add more water by the spoonful. It should be a sticky but not runny. Close your bowl, not airtight, and let rise for a couple of hours or until the dough rise and then collapse. Now the dough is ready to be used. I put mine in the fridge for a few hours so that it’s easier to handle it, but   if you’re short of time it doesn’t matter. Sprinkle the surface of the dough with flour, then cut a piece, about  or 1/2 or 1/3 depending on how you like your pizza or focaccia, if you use 1/3 it’ll be fluffier and if you use 1/2  it’ll be thinner. Roll the dough on a well floured surface and make your pizza or focaccia as you usually do.


Question: For making 'Quick Focaccia,' how should I prepare the dough, and what consistency should it have before allowing it to rise?

To make 'Quick Focaccia,' mix yeast, sugar, and water, then add oil in a large bowl, and stir. After that, add flour and salt, mixing well until all of the flour is incorporated. The dough should be sticky but not runny before letting it rise.<PIC>

 hot peppers of choice ( I'm using habaneros.. be careful when handling any hot peppers) Step 2: Getting Started. <PIC> I like a rustic chop to the peppers and onions in chili so I chunked the onion into large pieces, added the onion, ground meat, chili seasoning and green peppers to a frying pan.
 seasoning packets usually say to add after the meat is cooked and drained and want you to add water, I prefer to cook the seasoning into the meat, the meat and veggies will give off enough moisture that you usually don't need to add water.
 cook the mixture over medium high heat until the meat has lost its pink color then strain any grease and pour into a crockpot (if you don't have a crockpot GET ONE but you can cook this completely in a large skillet, just turn the heat way down) Step 3: DUMP IT. <PIC> Add the meat mix to the crockpot (or deep frying pan, large pot or dutch oven) and pour in the salsa, the tomato sauce, your hot peppers of choice (a handful of habaneros in this case) and the crumbled tortilla chips (the chips will help thicken the chili) allow to simmer for at least an hour, 3-4 is better and even better is to let the chili rest in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on low before serving Step 4: DONE. <PIC> OK, my chili is resting in the refrigerator.
 When I go to serve it, I'll have a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese, some chopped tomatoes, sour cream, chopped red onions, cheese-it crackers , hard rolls with butter and chunks of chocolate bar. YES CHOCOLATE ! The habaneros make this a fiery chili, the chocolate helps to relieve the heat and it adds a unique taste to the chili as well.


Question: How should the meat mixture be prepared for making 'EZ Chili' before adding it to the crockpot, particularly regarding the incorporation of chili seasoning?

To prepare the meat mixture for making 'EZ Chili,' cook it over medium-high heat until the meat has lost its pink color. Incorporate the chili seasoning directly into the meat without adding water, as the meat and vegetables will provide enough moisture.<PIC>

Question: How can I adjust the sweetness of my 'Halloween Treat' when adding peanuts?

You can adjust the sweetness of your 'Halloween Treat' by varying the amount of peanuts you add; using more peanuts will result in a mixture that is not as sweet, while using fewer peanuts will make it sweeter.<PIC>
