Well, my recipes aren't really recipes either. More along the lines of "toss in some of that, a little of those, some of that but not too much" etc. *shrug*
I tend to eyeball alot of stuff, unless its baking. I'm a bit more precise on that because I haven't had as much practice at that.

Here's one I just tried tonight.
When you're making roast beast of some sort (pork at our house tonight, but this also works for beef and venison, I'm told.) and you want to ensure that it comes out tender, use tea in the bottom of the pan instead of plain water. Your basic black and orange pekoe tea has tannic acid in it, (which is a softening agent used frequently in hide tanning) and it'll keep the meat from getting tough as it cooks. This won't work with herbal or green tea, as the tannic acid is a by-product of the fermenting process that turns the tea black or brown. (But I was thinking, mint is something good with pork. So I wonder if you used a regular tea bag and a mint tea bag how it would affect the flavour of the meat. I bet it'd be good.) It also helps give your gravy that nice golden brown colour, if you use your pan drippings for the base.
I hit a deer with my car last fall, and the guy who tanned the hide for me gave me that little hint. He makes his own tannic reactant, which has a base of you guessed it, tea!

Suck it up, soldier! You can't reject a heart just before Valentines day. That's what made the cows mad the last time.
P.S. Considering the function of the heart, were you honestly expecting it to taste like filet mignon?

Maybe someone already posted this... this is my first time in this thread. It came in my email tonight and I thought this might be a good place to post it. I don't know if all this is workable or not...
1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then, blot dry.
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziplock freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.
15. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.
Personally, I prefer to drink my vodka.

They also make an attachment for the sink that is an extra facet just for boiling hot water - great for making single cups of hot tea or hot cocoa.

Regular dish washing soap does NOT work in the dish washer.
and when a recipe says blend ingrediates, you dont REALLY need the blender.

And if you cut a lemon in half and stick it inside the chicken/turkey cavity, it keeps it moist while cooking.

I remember when I used to go over to my ex-fiancee's house a lot and her mother would be using the dishwasher. I can remember at least 3 incidences where she would "improvise" with regular dish washing soap and invariably get a foamy mess all over the kitchen floor. Not to mention not cleaning the dishes. She seemed shocked each time.
I wish things could've ended differently between her and I, but I am glad she did not end up being the woman I blend genes with.
