I have a question about your Mongolian Beef recipe. You say to only cook the beef in the oil for two minutes. I don’t understand why you say this because the porpoise of coating the meat with corn starch is so the meat gets very crispy from it. If you fry it in oil for only two minutes it doesn’t get crispy ever because when you put it back in the wok with the sauce it won’t crisp up at that time. If you fry the meat in the oil longer until it’s very crispy it tastes wonderful in my opinion. Thank you!

I have been doing a similar recipe for years for russian cutlettes and I LOVE chicken kiev. SOOO, being the butter lover that I am, I combined the 2 reciipes. The only real difference that may help in your recipe as far as being very moist is instead of using 2 eggs and breadcrumbs in the mixture, use 1 egg. but first place 2 good pieces of bread broke in pieces (edges cut off) and let 1/4 c. of half and half soak in (about 2 minutes). Mix with the ground chicken and spices and place in the FREEZER for about 10 minutes. Firms it up enough to handle.

Comment on Ben & Jerry’s Uncanny Cashew Ice Cream by Angela

The swirling…pretty sure when this is done commercially it’s done with two “nozzles”, that is it gets swirled together separately but at the same time. As you found, you really can’t fake it at home, so don’t try Instead, layer it, ice cream, sauce, ice cream, til you run out. When you scoop it, it’ll look swirled and more importantly the two will be separate instead of blended.

Comment on Restaurant Review: Homemade Pizza Company by Tee Rex

H.P. Co. opened in Westfield, NJ my hometown. The pizza is so-so. I’m expected to pay $15+ for a medium pizza that I have to go home and bake myself. I love this: I walked in off the street and waited nearly 15 minutes for my uncooked pizza to be made by 8 employees in an empty shop. Considering there are FOUR pizzerias within 100 feet (no exaggeration) I can’t imagine how this place can survive. It’s a cute, novel idea but when reality sets in it doesn’t make a lot of sense, really. . .
