Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan Funny, I have always thought this and now this is the second article I have seen where researchers say that crushing garlic releases increases the benefits. Another article that I cannot find anymore was a bit more detailed and recommended that...

I have finally got some time to clean my office and it reminded me of the biggest cleanup I ever had to do. I helped my landlord out from a tenant who just completely destroyed one of the apt's in our building. I actually ended up renovating it quite a bit and now rent it out. So basically I...

So, did anyone get any cooking related stuff for xmas? I finally got a dedicated pasta pot. I still have one more family event to go to, so I might get more.. I am pretty happy with it, as I have kept saying that I wanted one.

As many of us are probably heading over the river and through the woods this weekend, let me be the first to wish everyone a happy holiday! May you enjoy yourselves with your family and loved ones. Cherish the moment, and when you get back, let me know what you all had for dinner. :p Peace.

Here I am staring out the window today, watching the snow come down, almost a foot so far. The kids are at their friends, and are now staying the night because it is too slick to drive back.. The wife, who is an EMT calls and says she can't make it back, so will work an extra shift until the...

More this time of year than anything else, the wife and I find our available time dwindling away. It really affects the menu around the house as we need to make dinner faster and faster. It is to the point that basically I find I only have time to focus on the main dish, and then most of the...

Just thought I would share with you all something I am doing for Christmas this year. I finally got around to compiling most of my recipes that I have written on my website and put together a cookbook. I went over to cafepress.com and after quite a few hours/days of arranging and getting my...

Having already cooked a Thanksgiving turkey, I got to thinking about all the things you learn every year about cooking turkey. What are some of your "secrets"? I recently wrote about my "Losers Thanksgiving" where I used a roasted garlic and sage butter under and on top of the skin of the...

What to do with Pumpkins? I have grown a few this year, and well, other than making a jackolantern, I have no idea what to do with them. Perhaps ingredient of the Month (since it is October)?

Here is a bread I make from time to time: The complete page this recipe was culled from can be found on my site: Jeffs Recipes » Flax Seed Bread Recipe

What would you consider some of the myths of cooking? I will start, if anyone cares to add, have at it. :) Constants: I think one of the worst myths out there is "something has to be done this way, and this is the best (and only) way to do it". Like when you have a conversation with people...

Strangely, I have a ton of Jalapeno peppers this year. Everyone growing gardens around me say their peppers (bell, jalapeno, whatever) did not come out that great. Well, me, I probably have about 10 pounds of them ready to pick right now and another 10 next week. I have made more than enough...

This was an interesting one I found in Bon Appetite, I believe it was the Sept 2007 issue, but it may have been August.. I know what some of you are thinking: Roast Cauliflower? Barbecue sauce on Cauliflower? Well believe it or not this is delicious. 1 2 pound head of cauliflower, cored, cut...

I never knew peppers came in purple. When I was planting mine this year, I noticed on the label it showed a purple one, but I just thought it was a misprint, well, they started coming up: I had to take a pic of it before I eat it. One plant seems to have these and there are about 4-5...

Since tomatoes are the ingredient of the week, I guess I will share with you all, the spaghetti sauce that I actually am in the process of cooking at this very moment. My sauce changes just about every time I cook it, as I suspect does most peoples. Sometimes you want more of this, less of...
