Main dish, side dish, and dessert for my churches grill off ideas?

something like a basic dish with some twist in it or something

but anything helps... thanks :)
I have a couple of suggestions. Nothing fancy or gourmet, just good food that tastes delicious. The recipes are deceptively simple but taste as good as more complicated recipes. Honey Mustard Chicken, Baked Beans

Hello, I

Questions about soda?

ok so aside the fact that it isnt the best drink in the world, there are some questions i have about it.



1. Does it give you kidney stones.

2. Does it shrink your penis.



These are both questions that I am almost sure were rumored by a couple of kid hating church ladies, but I

im used to drinking silk chocolate soy milk, and i love it,but since hemp milk has omega 3 fats i thought it would be better. Also is the original flavor better than the chocolate in Tempt hemp milk?

Why do they not make pre-opened pistachios?

Are the nuts better preserved in the shell or left in for some other reason? I hate having to go through and open them all.
They do, but they are usually in the baking section...like the walnuts and slivered almonds.
But do the taste the same?

Which lunch meat is healthier ham or turkey?

And why?
Turkey by far. Ham is produced by pigs, pigs are very fat and fattening. Turkey meat is by far much more lean, resulting in less fat content. By eating Turkey vs. Ham, you will cut over half of the fat.



Side note, Turkey is more healthier than Chicken as well ;]
turkey
turkey

not to sure why but i heard that before from people

but ham is pretty tasty
turkey is much better than ham, generally it has a MUCH lower sodium content and it has a much lower fat content as well. This difference will obviously vary based on what kind of meat you buy. I would recommended Boar

Can i use half a packet of brewers yeast and store the rest?

EC-118 yeast. I am thinking about oxidization of the stored half, thought i could wrap it in clingfilm and put it in the fridge, will this preserve it?
You could but it would be better to use the whole packet, even if if is more than what is called for with your batch size. The extra will get you started faster and help insure that wild yeasts and bacteria do not start breeding in your wine.
Yeast is cheap, cheap, cheap. Just dump the unused and buy new next time.

If you peel and onion layer by layer, do you need to keep it in the refrigerator?

I use onions for sandwiches and I only use a little bit, so if I just used one layer of the onion, will it keep without refrigeration?
I wrap mine in plastic warp then put it in a Tupperware container that is made for an onion. its a little half round thing that can hang on the shelf in the fridge...but my shelves are glass so I just toss it in the veggie drawer and it keeps for a week or more. I have also stored chopped onion the same way for 3-4 days.



see this site for more information:

http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/
You should or it will dry out. Make sure to seal it or the entire refrigerator will smell like onion.
Never, ever re-use onions, they collect bacteria like a sponge. Once you start one, finish it.
yeah,or it could spoil easily if you don

So, I cooked a pot of spaghetti

I think I added too much pepper in it. So, I added basil, sugar, diced tomatoes, salt, season all, ragu sauce, and 4 cheese sauce to it. I think I over did it with the pepper. How to fix this?
I would add more pasta to cut the spice.
You need to add some cream...or milk...not much...do it by the spoon ful and keep tasting.
add a touch of allspice.
Try adding a bit more sauce or water to thin it out some, or a little more sugar.. but if nothing else works, don

Working full time, how much does an average bartender make?

In a big city in an average establishment?
Depends, if you work nights or days. Weekdays or weeknights, I bartended for 13 years, and some bars I worked at, just on a Friday Saturday night only (salary, tip-out from servers, and my tips) I could leave with $1500. It is not an easy job though, you never sit still, you deal with drunks, and the way the laws are today, there is a high responsibility and liability for serving someone to much, know the laws in your state. It is fun though (most of the time) and my biggest tip or advise would be, TREAT YOUR BAR-BACKS GOOD, they are your life line to the money, at the end of the night TIP THEM WELL...5% to 10% of what you make should go to them, without them you are screwed!!! with their help, is how you make the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ once they know the more they help the more they make, you should do pretty good.
too much. They are money hungry cranky stuck up people that get all pissy when they don

Looking for a recipe for beef massaman curry?

not sure if thats the correct spelling saw it on tv and looked yummy!
* 800g beef brisket or stewing steak, trimmed of fat and cut into chunks

* 1 onion chopped

* 1x 400mL can Coconut Milk

* 1 sachet / 2-3tbsp Massaman Curry Paste

* 8 cardamon pods

* 3 star anise

* 1tsp cinnamon

* small knob ginger sliced

* 2 cloves garlic chopped



Ingredients (in two stages):



* 1tbsp peanut butter

* 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce

* juice of 1/2 a lime

* 1tsp sugar or squeeze of agave nectar

* handful cashew nuts (and extra for garnish)





Start by frying the beef in a little oil to seal and then tip the contents of the pan into another dish.



Now fry off the onion, garlic, ginger and spices before adding the beef (but reserve the juices separately) back to the pan with the massaman paste. Now add the tin of coconut milk, cover and simmer gently for 1 1/2 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. The meat needs to be completely covered in sauce so if you need more liquid add the reserved juices from frying the beef.



About 20-30 minutes before the end of the cooking take off the lid and add the peanut butter, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar/agave and a handful of cashew nuts.

Are chicken breasts made out of real breasts from a chicken?

When you buy chicken breasts (boneless) in the store, you are getting one of the two breasts from the chicken. When it comes with the bone on it, you are getting both attached to the breast bone.



But yes chicken breasts are cut from the breast area of the chicken. There is no forming them - you get them as they come off the chicken.



Now chicken nuggets are another story.
no they are made from squirrel chests YES they are made from real chicken breasts
Yes what else would they be. If your argument is for lunch meat some brands process the breast and has alot of other crap in it.
You might be think they are like nuggets made from chicken parts. Maybe you thought they were formed in to a breast from parts who knows. Any way chicken breast are cut off the chicken. Some people prefer to eat only white meat and the breast are the white meat of the chicken.the legs and thighs are the dark meat. Chicken breast come from the chicken. Unless they are calling cow or pig breast chicken last I heard they are from the chicken.
Uh what else would it be made from? OF COURSE they are made from real chicken breasts.
nope

I bought one and drank out of it, of course. What can it do to me???
Nothing. The cups have cadmium in the paint, but not in toxic amounts. But the fact they have any at all is why there were VOLUNTARILY recalled. ALso, the cups were made in the usa.
you will grow a penis on your arm and die
china was probably at it again with all their lead products. you mite die of lead poison
Dont know, but Mcdonalds found cadmium in the paint wich came from china, but there was no mandatory recall from the fda, mcdonalds is just playing it safe. It prob wont do anything to you....maybe.
The cups were recalled due to concerns with led in the paint used to draw the characters.
The paint on the glasses had cadmium in it, which is a toxic metal that if ingested can cause cancer.
