Gemstar6 Well I cook for a living andf I have cooked a lot of steaks in my time. Some chefs get upset when a well-done is ordered but I think that the customer knows what they like to eat and if it wasn't cooked that way they wouldn't enjoy it as much. Does that make...

Gemstar6 I moved about 5 minutes ago when I got up to make a cup of tea. I don't think that would have cost you anything, unless it is true about the Butterfly Effect. Frankly I don't care too much about what he does in your world, it's what he does that affects the...

Gemstar6 Absolutely true! The best thiong about the "recession" is that alot of people have been getting back skills lost when it was just easier to 'buy', rather than 'make'. It is great to see everyone getting interested in the recipes their Mothers and Grandmothers...

Gemstar6 It depends on what they are for and when I need them. I like my own vinaigrettes and mayonnaises, and you cannopt get real hollandaise in a store so i make all of them. Also pickles, relishes and such are best home-made. Soups and stews should all be made, not...

Gemstar6 Considering alot of 'free' countries also sing his praises I think it's pretty rich you single out these as examples of enemies of freedom and democracy. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't make them wrong. Have you heard of "the rest of the World"?...

Gemstar6 I always salt food as it is cooking. I have read too that a little salt in the water with vegetables helps prevent minerals leaching out. Pasta tastes like nothing unless it is correctly salted while it is cooking. After the food is cooked, then seasoning...

Gemstar6 I *think* that alot of people learn in different ways. I don't mind having music playing at all while I am reading or occuped. Sometimes I find it relaxes that part of your subconscious and I take more in. I don't agree with headphones as they are too 'crowdy'...

Most women tend to not accept compliments. They even do not believe these compliments. As a woman, I think it's because we are construed as being conceited. Sometimes, when I tell a co-worker that her newly-cut hair is great,...
