Comments (3)I baked my Waltham butternut squash in the oven and then pureed it for freezing. I found tiny round creamy little white dots on the seed cavity of one of them. Did you see any of those? There wasn't any kind of disease anywhere on the squash, so I went ahead and used it. Then I got to wondering if it was some sort of worm or something that turns into a white little ball when heated? Yuk. Oh well. I don't know which quart it is in the freezer, so I guess we'll just eat it!...See MoreNeed good dark meat chicken recipes, for bone in.
Comments (11)If you have a pressure cooker, try this curry. Curry in a Hurry This recipe from Lorna Sass's Pressure Perfect is a quick and easy way to make a pretty tasty curry. You can make it with chicken, beef, lamb or pork, and vary the hotness by using mild or hot curry paste. 2 tablespoons of mild curry paste makes a pleasant-but-wimpy curry; 4 tablespoons of mild paste makes it pleasantly zingy; 4 tablespoons of hot curry paste makes it very hot, near my limit of tolerance (and I really like hot food). I generally use 2 tablespoons of hot and 2 tablespoons of mild curry paste. If you don't want to mess with the yogurt, peas and cilantro, don't bother--the dish will still be very tasty, but the sauce won't be as rich or velvety-smooth. ( I personally don't like cilantro, so I don't use it.) The recipe calls for 3 pounds of bone-in chicken; I find it easier to use about 2 or 2.5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs. --Once you get the pressure cooker up to pressure, make a pot of rice. By the time the rice is done, so is this. 1 cup water 4 tablespoons Patak's Mild Curry Paste 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 3 pounds bone-in skinless chicken thighs or breasts, or 2-2.5 lbs boneless skinless thighs, or 2 lbs. other meat (see chart below) 1 cup plain yogurt 1 1/2 cup frozen peas 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional) Pour the water into a 4-qt or larger pressure cooker and blend in the curry paste. Place on high heat and add the onion and meat of your choice. Lock the lid in place. Over high heat bring up to high pressure. Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for the time indicated in the chart. Turn off the heat. Allow the pressure to come down naturally. (If cooking chicken, release any remaining pressure after 4 minutes.) Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow steam to escape. If the chicken or meat isn't tender, cover again and simmer until done. If necessary, skim off the fat that rises to the surface or degrease the broth in a fat separator. Blend the yogurt into 1 cup of the broth. Stir the peas into the curry and simmer until they are defrosted, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir the yogurt mixture into the curry. Stir in the cilantro and salt to taste. Serve in bowls over rice. Meat choices Cooking times Chicken (see notes above) 8 minutes high pressure, 4 minutes of natural release, then quick release Beef (boneless chuck, 1" cubes) 8 minutes high pressure, then natural release Pork shoulder (1" cubes) 8 minutes high pressure, then natural release Lamb (boneless, 1" cubes) 12 minutes high pressure, then natural release If using beef, pork or lamb, trim off excess fat and cut the meat into approximately 1" cubes before cooking.....See MoreNot The Other White Meat
Comments (44)johnliu and Lou, There are many tofu textures and tastes. In this particular dish, I used medium firm tofu and let it sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. This drains a lot of the water out for easy frying. linnea56 "---- I can't eat soy anymore (having had breast cancer), but it was tasty. ------" It is important to do your own research. Keeping in mind where you get your information from. Soy is huge business, so is meat. A lot of money is involved. Depends on who is financing the studies, you may find different conclusions. Not that I am recommending anything. I based my decision on the fact that where soy is consumed the most, that�s where there are the lowest incidents of breast cancer, heart diseases, colon cancer, etc., also that where life span is the longest. I believe in diversity in my diet. I believe that there foods I can incorporate that would make dieting unnecessary. dcarch...See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
