Just google for 'marshmallow fruit salad' and you should start finding piles of options; most recipes are a bit fancied up... replacing the can of fruit cocktail with fresh fruit, adding nuts...

This one is pretty much it:

This one has a sour cream base...

This one is mayo and cool whip...

I guess in this case, weather == climate right? And the lack of hurricanes the last few years was just weather != climate. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/7...

I use this recipe. I've dropped the salt to 1 tsp without any effect on flavour giving each loaf only 1000mg of sodium.

I've used this recipe as a base for white, whole wheat and rye bread with good results. Just make sure you keep 1/2 white flour (bread flour not all purpose).

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons lard
• 1 1/2 cups water

1. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.

I think eHow is a scraper site. I've often found their articles to match verbatim posts from sites dedicated to the topic at hand. Just yesterday I saw the identical recipe for baking mix on eHow and allrecipes.com.

that would be a base version feel free to hack as required

They must be eaten with rice porridge (congee). Otherwise the flavor is too strong. But, as a crumbled garnish on a savory rice porridge... yum!

Here's a recipe(hack;) that uses the eggs:

My point is that while it is true that eating more = weight gain, why is it that people are eating so much more today?

Well, the short answer is that food is more readily available, is highly processed with additives and sweeteners (such as the High Fructose Corn Syrup you mentioned). Moreover, the more processed the food the less expensive it becomes. Moreover, you're getting more calories in the same volume of food (volume being what is generally what we use to determine if you're full).

Lets take Mac & Cheese as an example. A box of craft mac and cheese is 410 calories prepared for 1/3 of the box (1 cup of volume, ~2 oz by dry weight).

For the same weight of food (2 oz dry) you can make a dish at home using low fat milk, low fat cheddar cheese, and whole wheat pasta for a significant reduction in calories and an increase in the quality of the food. Hell, even skipping those changes a traditional home cooked mac and cheese recipe comes in at a whopping 232 calories for a 2 oz (dry) serving. Note the calorie information on that site is for 6 servings of ~5.5 oz each, not the 2oz serving that Kraft uses.

Increase your venison consumption. Studies show that increased hunting decreases deer trying to each your porch plants. Some good recipes to get you started: http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Meat-and-Poultry/Game-Meats/Venison/Main.aspx :P

I'm Belgian ;-) Concerning a good beer around christmas...What about a Maredsous, the cheese of the same name and a baguette? Or if the winter is too harsch a good Rochefort 10 and a onions soups with melting cheese. Oh God...I feel a bit of nostalgia...Miss my native ardennes.

Ah yes. The question why a highly superior, more sophisticated, more secure, freely available OS that can do everything that Windows does, and better, hasn't managed to gain a desktop market share beyond 1% in the last 10 years even with ungodly amounts of free "Live CDs" in every goddamn "PC" tabloid.

Users must be incredibly dumb, too breathtakingly stupid notice the the good stuff when it bites their lower backs. Only a few enlightened prophets hold the true vision. Test case: offer a piece of fresh Black forest gateau for free, next to a snickers (out of date by a week) for $10. All those lusers will go for the snickers, won't they.

As a born Kentuckian Old Bay Catfish Fry. I remember summer evenings after fishing all day in the family pond eating these and hush puppies, mmmmmmmmmm.

Green chile stew, (mmm mmm good) killed a perfecly good M$ Natural keyboard in seconds when the traces got some of that green chile juice on it. Acidic (more vitamin C than orange juice), conductive, salty with a bit of potato starch and beef oils, it really did the job. I never could get it to work again.

Ok, I'm a geek and I love to have the Internet wherever I am but why in the kitchen?

www.allrecipies.com

Indeed, it'd be nice to have this for spices.

Management by itself seems like a why-bother issue to me. What I'd like is to have integration between this little ingredient database- including dry spices, perishables, frozen stuff, canned goods and everthing else- and a recipesdatabase, whether it's my personal list of recipes or something like the awesome allrecipes.com and webtender.com. I'd love to be able to go onto allrecipes and click a button labelled "give me a 5-course meal with what i have!" and have it generate those 5 courses based on my taste (derived from my ratings of other recipes on allrecipes.com, perhaps), and ratings other folks have given it, all using the materials i have already. Or perhaps, leave me only buying fresh rosemary and chicken breasts, etc. Having all this data is next to worthless for me... But *using* this data would be great.

And, in addition to what my sibling posts have already pointed out, you can make bread without yeast. You can use another raising agent, as in soda bread (which uses baking soda), or consider the many unleavened breads, which (by definition) don't have anything in them to make them rise.

And as for beer... well, some things that are sold a beer bear a remarkable similarity to a liquid that we all produce without using any yeast ;-)

I know how the MPAA feels...

In my area profits are down across the restaurant business, and it can only be due to one thing: Internet Recipe Sites.

It used to be that it took a trained professional to cook a meal, but now people can download recipes and try to do it all at home. And, with supermarkets all over, and too many people competing for restaurant-market-space it no wonder the industry is hurting.

I am sure I'd be making more money if not for recipesource.com, or allrecipes.com. And there are so many recipe sites, it's un-American. People are cooking for them selves and it's hurting the free market. When will it end?

I don't know what I'm going to do, and I'm sure the MPAA feels the same way.

I personally do not have a computer in my kitchen, yet. I use this book and printouts from Allrecipes.com for recipes. I have not had a hiccup since I overbroiled my last bit of fresh salmon. But that was because of the consumption of too many beer molecules.

this is my very own submission to Allrecipes...

It's a vegan mushroom pot pie.

I love allrecipes, not only does it have a lot of good recipes, but reading the comments (often about variations and substitutions) has made me a better cook. And the rating system is very useful.

How about here

BTW I did this for me so I can look them up easier! Thanks for the links everyone.

You can't go wrong with allrecipes.com. I have no affiliation with them other than that I use it whenever I need a recipe. Another good feature, a la amazon.com style, is the peer reviews that accompany each recipe. The site is so good I haven't even tried looking anywhere else.

I love AllRecipes.com. In fact I'm planning on putting a touch-screen flat panel in my kitchen so I can use that site from there.

Everything from vegetarian to carnivore to bread machine recipes are there.

You mentioned Google, so why not use it?

Here is the first result, just to get you started : Allrecipes index of 23,000 recipes.

Is there a Google for recipes?

Seriously though, try all recipes if you want something a little less generic.

I'd try Allrecipes.com. I've gotten some good recipes from there.

yum

2) let me upload a shopping list to the cart via USB keychain, and use feature one to give me the most efficient order in which to get the items (or close to it anyway - it might be an NP complete problem to get the most efficient route

Right! And the list was generated by your fridge, which knew what you were out of, and better, the things that you were almost out of. And helped along by the recipe items that you need for a dish, generated by a site such as allrecipes.com. That would indeed be cool. I do the shopping for my family, and anything that helps me find the things that I need is a friend indeed. If costs were the same, I would be induced to change my preferred grocery store.

>although I am amazed by the fact that they found the post button

Do I get a prize?

can be found at AllRecipes.com. Search for the 4-star or 5-star recipes to find the best stuff. There are several great ones that work well for one person, including the tuna burgers one (yum!) and Chex Mix (your friends at work will love you when you bring a huge bag of it in.)

My personal favorite 10-minute recipe requires a steamer:

Easy Ballpark Hot Dogs

-- Buy some good plump hot dogs and cheap hot dog buns at the store. Grab some shredded cheddar cheese and any other garnishes (onions, ketchup) while you're there.
-- Turn on steamer. Put in hot dog. Set timer for 10 minutes.
-- At 7 minutes, put hot dog bun in steamer (off to the side so it doesn't get soggy). Place cheese and other garnishes on bun before sticking it in the steamer.

3 minutes later, pull both out and eat. Voila! Real ballpark-style hot dogs in 10 minutes. Oh-so-good, and easy to make. It just goes to show that even total geeky klutzes like us can make great food! ;)
