Dinner was a disaster, sigh! I love to cook cabbage and other veggies along with tofu shirataki noodles and peanut butter, a favorite meal. Tonight I tried to experiment with a Korean hot pepper sauce (sauce was from the store). I think it was supposed to be an "add after" not during cooking sauce so clearly I fucked up there. But I think beyond that I am having a very hard time finding sauces besides peanut butter (which always works) that absorb traditionally "flavorless" foods. What can I use besides peanut butter that will work? Oh, and I always use as a base, low-sodium soy sauce, curry powder, and hot pepper flakes (a good combo for my taste). So yeah why do neutral veggies and tofu ONLY seem to absorb peanut butter? I love peanut butter but I'm getting sick of it!

You might try some sesame oil, (just a little goes a long way,) and nori, along with your usual base. You also might experiment with juice and zest to make a fruity sauce. Flavored oil, flavored tahini or hummus, might be additional things to explore.

Thanks very much, Liam. All of those are foods/flavors I find super tasty! Great ideas!

If you want to step away from the Asian flavors, this is my go-to topping for cooked or raw veggies/ dishes with grains, ...

• 1 cup Tahini paste
• 2 cloves garlic (or to taste)
• 1 handful fresh Cilantro
• 1tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp tamari, or soy sauce
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1/2 c water (more or less to thin/thicken to desired consistency)

Blend well. Store in a jar in fridge for up to 10 days

Would someone please advise me on how to use my French Press coffee thingy. Specifically the ratio of coffee to water. Actually a detailed step by step how to would be helpful.

Thank you in advance,
Chad

Try www.buzzmug.com they have a toutorial.

Thank you Corkey, that was very helpful.

I like my French press coffee pretty strong, so I use 3 scoops of coffee to a nearly full container of boiling water. I give it at least 5 minutes before I press so the coffee has a good chance to brew. I have the black and glass press shown on the video, and it makes 2 large cups of coffee.

Thank you Ms. Tinkerbelly, after I saw the tutorial I realized that I need course ground coffee. I normally have fine ground coffee for my espresso maker so I need to do shop for coffee beans. I like very strong coffee. I look forward to learning the procedure.

Would someone please give me simple instructions for the dough part of cobbler?

~
 

top crumble or pie crust ?

Hi,
not a pie crust I stink at baking. Like a cobbler which is mostly on top.

Sweet or savory filling?

I'm thinking brown sugar and oats are involved but don't take it as gospel!

Hi, sweet peach cobbler.

Thank you, that sounds good for lots of things including ice cream.

I like the looks of this recipe. It's a ginger peach pecan cobbler...

That looks yummy. Do you really think that I can do it? Okay, I will strap on my apron and give it my best. 😊
