    Also kuemp did you try drying it for at least a few hours, I do that with mine and have little problems and also follow BTA's advice.

    :doh: Thinking back, there was some air in the pocket. This is what the cookbooks don't tell you.

    Iku-Tursos Lemony chicken (for two people):

    chicken, sliced
    leek, sliced/ onions
    carrots, sliced
    red pepper, sliced
    yellow pepper
    garlic
    chili
    2 lemons
    2 oranges
    corn flour
    soy sauce/salt

    Extract the juices from the lemons & oranges (should give about a pint of juice). Fry the chicken. Fry the vegetables, but don't overdo them. Put the meat &the veggies in a pot. Add the corn flour into the juice and stir. Add the mixture into the pot. Heat it up. And that should be all...If the sauce is too thick or too sour, add some water.

    Use the garlic & chili according to your own taste. Same for the soy sauce.

    Eat it with rice, noodles, pasta, quinoa or what ever you have.

    From the world famous I Ain't Got No Money cookbook:

    slice a bun in half or use bread
    spread spaghetti sauce on bun/bread
    top with cheese of your choice
    cook at 350* for 5-7 minutes or til cheese is bubbly

    :yum:

    MMMm there are lots of things you can do with asparagus. Just steamed with a little salt and pepper is good but if you want to get fancy make a nice cream soup with some exotic cheese.

    Rinse them well.

    Snap off the bottoms - just bend and let them break where they will. If you have thick ones and don't want to lose so much, use a vegetable peeler to take off the outer, woody parts of the end.

    Steaming or boiling is the simplest way to cook asparagus. Just don't overdo it - make sure they're still bright green and a little crisp when you take 'em out of the pot.

    Try roasting them - toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread in a pan in a single layer, and rast at 400 F for about 8-10 minutes. Again, don't overdo it.

    O.K. I spent the day making fresh ricotta cheese with a gallon of whole milk. Now I need some ideas for what to use it with. My preference is savory but sweet ideas are welcome too.

    Mix it with spinach, black pepper and basil then stuff pasta. Cheesecakes are good either sweet or savoury. If you mix it with some peccorino and parnesan it will make superb cheese sauces and souffles.

    I discovered that mixing it with pesto makes it taste wonderful. Add that to lasagna and it is brilliant. Even the little tyke was impressed.

    Well, I just made my first attempt at Passover baking, a flourless chocolate-hazelnut gateau. I'll let y'all know how it is after dinner on Thursday.
