Which model? Is that a blender or juicer? thnx

Ninja was on my watchlist.. looks like in your experience, Kitchenaid was better than Ninja.. I will check out Kitchenaid .. thnx

I just need a blender to make smoothies with Cilantro / Parsley (weekly)

Now, which blender would you recommend for this without breaking the bank (so no Vitamix)?

Thank you!

pls ignore.. guess I need some new glasses ;)

Can Ninja Pulse do green smoothies? carrots? thnx

wow $1?.. from where dd you get that?

Do you use metallic or plastic steamer?

great.. thanks

I can only assume that this sort of steamer cant compare to the traditional full steamer.. but to me this seems to make it so easy (read that faster) to use that I can quickly steam a few veggies

What is this steamer addon that Alton is using called and how much does it cost approx?

PAELLA WITH QUINOA (instead of Rice)

No, not asking about the oriental style steam buns ....
Those of you who have eaten Southern Style Crispy Chicken Sandwich at McD's know the type of bun I'm asking about...they call it 'Buttery Steamed Bun' -- are these made this way from scratch or is there a way to transform regular bun into this way?

Okay, can we agree that anchovies and sardines (canned) are an acquired taste?

Now since these are healthy, how do you make recipes that will make them tolerable (then maybe love) for the younger ones?

Thanks

thanks for useful info ... will check out those beers and sites

plus.. didnt know that TJ allows single beers from six-packs.. this was the reason I couldn't get a new beer pack and if I dint like it..

What are your favorite beers at Trader Joe's in Glendale and Burbank area?

Aha! ...I'll have to get parchment or not use lemon with peel.. thanks

I normally used to deep fry or shallow fry and lately trying to become more healthy, trying to learn to bake in oven :-)

When I baked Salmon in Aluminum Foil, I used seasoning and lemon slices... (after 15 minutes @ 350), the fish tasted bitter wherever the lemon slices were there!

Are there some no-no's for cooking fish in Aluminum Foil, Parchment?

Also, what are pros and cons of Aluminum Foil versus Parchment?

The one above has ceramic coating. Are any Teflon pans that are white?

Some of the cooking shows use the white colored non-stick pan (like a dutch oven)... the food just seems to look nice with the white contrast :)

But I'm not sure if this is good enough to last for a decent time (not years)

Those of you who tried them, what are your experiences?

Thanks!

wow.. best ever you had.. I'll gotta check it out.. thnx

thanks.. will check it out

Bummed for missing the Couscous festival in Pasadena (http://www.couscousfestival.com/) last weekend :(

Love good lamb tagines.. wondering who makes good tagines near Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena areas

-----
Tagine
132 N Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Interesting.. got a recipe? thnx

Tried sardines at a Chinese place (New Town Super Buffet, Burbank) and they had such a strong flavor) .. how do you take care of that strong flavor? or is like.. 'if you don't like that flavor, then its not for you' :)

Saw this in some travel/cooking shows... small fish (sardine maybe).. marinated and grilled outside.. that gets my appetite going.. if you know what I mean :)

Now, I cant find that in local restaurants... so please suggest some places that make this kind of small fish recipe... preferable closer to Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena

Also, if you can point me to some good recipe ideas for the same..

Thanks muchos

Yes, it has opened in Pasadena. I haven't tried it yet ... has anyone?

oh! didnt know Porto's make good soups

With the chilly weather setting in, I would like to get some recommendations for some nice hot soup places in Glendale, CA

Thanks in advance

thanks Bob.. seems like an interesting (and expensive :) ) restaurant..

caught an episode of 'Made in Spain' and the chef made a very nice looking dish called "arroz de conejo - rabbit rice"

so, wanted to find from you folks who know of any good restaurants in/around pasadena/glendale where I can get this dish

thanks muchos
