My housewarming: I made Baba Au Rhum, served on a heavy glass cake dish with heavy glass top. I removed the top quickly. Each guest got a whiff at the same moment. Serious swooning occurred. I turned away..when I looked again, Baba was long gone!

I love pies! Classic pie only works if crust pre-baked. If filling baked in crust yields soggy Piecrust; not meant to be eaten by me! PROBLEM SOLVED!!! +2nd Secret +Darlene Schulz Pie Crust SUPERB -OR- Little Pie Company for Lazy! -THEY DO SHIP!

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.

Tabacco prefers his veggies raw. Raw vegetable salads are healthier than cooked veggies, so why cook vegetables that can be eaten raw! The main disadvantage of cooking vegetables, even if you steam them, is that you kill ENZYMES!

August of 2005 Tabacco found story, contacted writer of only news story from major publication in country, Deborah Barfield Berry of NY Newsday's DC office. I commend Newsday & Deborah Barfield Berry for their chutzpah & still boycott Tyson products!

Pollan, "Don't eat any food that's incapable of rotting". Definition of "Nutritionism". No profit in raw oats, therefore processed Cheerios, oat bars, then cereal straws = PROFIT! THE FAST FOOD DIET = Edible Food-like Substances, NOT FOOD!

Cindy & Suzanne Thomas requested cheesecake recipes after reading my Post "Technique For The Perfect Cheesecake". Here are two of my favorites.

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!

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!

The first time I made this recipe the taste was superb, but the lemon filling ran like the Mississippi River. 15 years later I learned the secret from Rose Beranbaum. Now it tastes great and doesn't embarrass me by running away.

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!

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.
