Recipe from "Dining With David Wade"..adapted & altered by Tabacco..worked on for 35 years..25 years ago I stopped experimenting with basic recipe..3 years ago I added the finishing touch - brining. This recipe is now perfect - I guarantee!

Brining promotes change in meat protein structure; the same process occurs when exposed to heat, acid or alcohol. Brining improves flavor, tenderness, moisture of lean meats (chicken, turkey, pork, seafood), and reduces cooking time.

Kneading develops the gluten, the elastic bonds in flour which help rolls retain their shape while they rise. For best texture, try not to work in too much flour. Rising or proofing gives rolls body & brings out flavor, especially from yeast.

I was never afraid of getting salmonella from homemade nog because I always add liquor..Salmonella prevention aside, this is the best nog I ever tasted..smoothness was noticeable instantly..This nog is special because of the "cooking". And it's safer

I always make the Cream Cheese Pound Cake with my Frozen Blueberry Yogurt. A richer cake with frosting would be too much for my taste. The Frozen Blueberry Yogurt is being published separately along with the Cake recipe.

My Cream Cheese Pound Cake is being published separately, but make it along with the Frozen Yogurt recipe as I always do. You need two things besides fresh or frozen blueberries: 1- Food Mill 2- Ice Cream Maker. Frozen Yogurt is Mahvellousss!

Note that Pizza is spelled with 1 z "Piza"..I do that to placate Italians. It looks like Pizza, until you look closely..reason is my cheese substitution: Velveeta! Piza tastes great! Maybe Italians will begin to spell their pizza with 1 z.

Brine turkey overnight, rub doubled supermarket paper bags with spiced peanut oil, oil turkey cavity and stuff bird, rub spiced oil over the bird, stuff in paper bags, tie rope at bag opening, roast 10 minutes per lb + 30 minutes - that's it!

Your barbecue grill can also be used as a smoker by using a smoke box and aromatic wood chips. Meat cooked at 200-250 degrees retains juiciness and never overcooks. Hickory wood chips add flavor & color. My smoker cost just $29.

7-Up will prevent peeled apples from turning brown without flavoring them as lemon juice does. Apparently vitamin C tablets dissolved in water accomplishes the same thing. If you don't own a Food Mill, buy one! Everything but Pie!

Have you ever cooked beans for hours & found they failed to soften? Chalky & tough-skinned, they might as well be raw. There are 2 possible culprits - but neither is salt! Blame wrong culprit, problem unsolved. Yes, it happened to Tabacco.

If you like tomato soup, you will love my “Bar-B-Que Soup” (leftover “Piquante Sauce” from the wing recipe). No bottled Bar-B-Q sauce here. Ketchup-based. Oven, Crock, pressure-cook, smoker or clay pot. Outdoor cooking even if it snows.

February 14, 2006, Tabacco finally achieved changing the color scheme of this blog. The changes are not completed. I am editing from the most recently published Articles backwards. 1940s Movie Trivia ANSWERS will appear 2/16/06, my birthday.

Frosting a cake really adds calories, carbohydrates or whatever you count. This decadent cake, made for special occasions (without frosting), and homemade Angelfood Cake anytime are the best strategy for enjoying that “Carb Hit” sensibly.

the following technique is based on 25 years of research, study and experimentation..I am not a "natural" cook, but a "stubborn" one. Once I get my teeth in a recipe, I don't give up until I perfect it..yes, I have made perfect cheesecake
