I don't have this ingredient in my pantry.....

Ok,
several times we decide to cook a recipe, and don't quite check properly if we have all the ingredients (Well, I DONT, as you might imagine).
So what to do?

SUBSTITUTIONS. A lot of the times, the ingredients can be substituted. So here is a basic substitution table.

Arrowroot - substitute with cornstarch, potato starch or rice starch OR even all purpose flour, altought you will need to double the amount 1 measure of arrowroot - 2 measures of flour

Dry breadcrumbs - substitute with crushed cracker crumbs, matzo meal, crushed cornflakes

Cream of Tartar - substitute with white vinegar or lemon juice

Sour cream - substitute with plain yogurth,

Bread Flour - for every 160g of bread flour, use 140g of all purpose flour

I will come back with more substitutions...soon!
Love,

Vic

Que pasa con las relaciones reales????

Si, es verdad! Después de orkut (o antes, en realidad no lo se) vemos una proliferación imensa de sitios de relaciones, intercambios, grupos, personas, deseos, fotos, y lo que nos imaginemos. Orkut Flickr Last.fm 43things Blogs Fotologs etc, etc, etc. Será que ya llegamos al punto que somos tan dependientes de la tecnologia que no somos capaces de salir de casa y hacer amigos a la moda antigua? O será que virtualmente hoy en dia nos parece mas facil porque podemos pintar la imagen que queramos y es una manera de esconder la realidad? Que pasa con la realidad? no se...este post va a tener parte 2...lo voy a pensar un poco. por favor, diganme que opinan??? De cualquier manera, apesar de todo lo malo que se supone que puede tener, o que esta pasando con el mundo, tiene su parte buena, como compartir la musica que yo escucho, que es lo que les pongo ahora mismo! Que disfruten... y que las amistades virtuales se hagan cada vez mas reales...

Recipe Index

From freeprintableonline.com Last night I had this idea...I decided to create an index from all the recipes I have in my books and mags. Why? Well, I don't know about you, but I don't remember everything and I thought...wait, If I would have a file, with categories, and etc...when I am looking for an idea to cook I could look all the recipes I have in one place...:) Yaaaay! It will take me a while. I am actually doing a Google Doc, so I can access it from anywhere. I am putting the name, cooking time, how many servings, where is it (Which Mag, book, etc) and some categories, like Meat, chicken, egg - Main, salad, dessert - and comments. I am also filtering by stuff that I don't eat, would never even try, looks waaaay too complicated (Hello Master chef magazine). I will let you know how it goes... Love, Vic

Still working on my Recipe Index. So far, around 600 recipes catalogued, and counting...I'm slower now because my belly is really big and its getting really hot in Sydney, but I will finish it before baby comes / this year. Will keep you posted. Love, Viclic
