This may be a question of ignorance but how does one get the time on the television screen?

I'm always amused at how much fortune cookies are associated with the Chinese as it's almost impossible to find any in Chinese restaurants in Asia!

I'd make sangria with it.

You can also cook this perfectly with a rice cooker. Mix the raw mushrooms and sausage into the chicken mixture and add them into cooker while rice is cooking mid-way.

I discovered this spice when I visited Georgia almost 10 years ago. It was a taste I have not been able to find elsewhere! Used it in everything while I had it. The best!

Fill 'em up with a dollop of cream cheese and then fry them for some easy and delicious appetizers.

Dice them up, saute them for a bit and break an egg or two over it - great omelette that goes well with white steamed rice.

Fries and tater tots are not the problem. The problem is how we don't teach kids to eat healthy when they are young and we don't understand what moderation means.

Everything in moderation is the key!

Thank you all for your ideas. I think I will keep them in the fridge since we live in the tropics and it's humid and warm all year round! ~ I'Ching

Can we freeze this soup and have it taste as good when thawed out?

A friend once remarked that the fabulous-ness of a meal lies in the company and not in the food. I mostly agree with him.

I just got my first food processor for Mother's Day and I know that I will not be able to live without it! Goodbye to chopping onions and garlic!

I got a food processor for Mother's Day! So, I initiated it by making pesto. It was so good - walnuts and I added a little mint for some zing!

Thank you for the tip! @Mid-C Frank: we who live in the tropics will have melted butter before too long if we leave 'em out at room temp!

I was also made to take this kind of soup when I was growing up but unlike the others here, they didn't make me gag. The key thing is to get the right kind of herbs. They are many combinations available - each for a specific medicinal benefit and some for general well-being. Typically, the ones which are for general nutrition taste better and even desirable!

@ ChristopherAlan: I guess at where I am (the tropics) the water stays hot longer than if you were in a colder country. I've had no problems so far - the chicken is always cooked. Trick is to make sure that the chicken is at room temperature when you put it in the pot.

In fact, there's another way that the Chinese cook their poultry where they are merely repeatedly dunked into boiling water but not poached in it. The typical end result is smooth succulent meat!


Hainanese Chicken With Rice from Mark Bittman Recipe Review | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn

On a work day, I prepare this in advance before I leave the house and by evening I've dinner ready: boil a big pot of water, when water is boiling, put a whole chicken (at room temperature and if possible rubbed with sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic powder inside and out the night before) into the pot. Turn off fire. Let the hot water work its magic for five to six hours. The chicken meat will fall off its bones - yums!
