How many people do you know who have age old spices and herbs in their cupboard? Spices and herbs do not last forever! Sure they need to be stored somewhere cool and dark to preserve their flavor but if you've had them for over a year, their flavor will have vanished. Throw them out and buy new ones!

If you want tasty soups and stews, make your own stock! Simply save the bones of a roast chicken dinner, add a few vegetables, bay leaves and slow simmer for several hours! The stock is delicious and can be used immediately. Freeze the excess in ice cube trays so that it will be in convenient portions when you next need it.
If you need to cook for a large number of people, or are faced with cooking the Thanksgiving dinner for the in-laws, don't stress. Prepare as much as you can in advance.

In the world of party chips and zesty dips, the Sensational Salsa company has created a new brand of salsa flavor. Having believe that they have created a culinary masterpiece, the company has already produced a mountains worth of their new salsa flavor. However, when they begin selling the salsa, they were shocked when the statistic showed that many children and adults did not enjoy the taste of their new flavor.

By employing this method of persuasive communication, the Sensational Salsa company will try to change the attitude the public has of their product both cognitively and affectively.
The last step of this recipe is waiting. The master pot should be left on low heat for about one hour and a half to two hours while stirring consistently to prevent sticking or burning to the edges of the pan. The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative. The end result is always a happy mouth and a taste of mexican heritage itself. Enjoy.

When you read English con Salsa it can be almost impossible to imagine what its about, because how can you know how it tastes, how it looks or how it sounds. Gina Valdes author of the poem English con Salsa helps the reader what this words mean. She mixes these two words from two different languages and creates a unification for two different cultures. Throughout the poem she keeps of mixing both of the languages, mentioning important people from the American and Mexican culture. The poem is about latin people coming to the United States, who try to learn a new language and to live in a new culture. But the poem also describes how latinos latinize this new culture to feel more like home. Valdes tells the reader that latinos are going to keep their Latin culture with them although they are trying to learn the American language and customs they still embrace their Mexican traditions. This is why the poem is called English con Salsa, as Mexicans all they do when they eat something they have to add salsa to their food, it does not matter what kind of food their are eating, they just want to add their own touch, the spiciness, to taste better. The same is with English con Salsa, every person, from every other culture add their own touch. In English con Salsa, Gina Valdes uses humorous tone, image and simile to describe how latinos adapt to a new culture and keep embracing their culture.

Does Hot and Mild Salsa play a part in raising body temperature? The topic I investigated was if eating hot or mild salsa would affect body temperature. The reasoning for testing the two salsa were to find if the salsa would cause a rise in body temperature after eating the salsa.

My prediction if my main hypothesis is true, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will rise, and for the null hypothesis prediction, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will not rise. During the experiment, I found that the main hypothesis was incorrect,

I take the turkey and set it on the counter. Then I grab the Buttermilk White bread, freshly made by my mom. She’s like Martha Stewart, you know. She grows the wheat herself. She uses some kind of mill we have in the back yard to grind it into flour. We have a cow. She milked it herself. Then she made the buttermilk to put into the bread. Anyway, that’s off the subject.

Good cooking doesn’t always come naturally, but when skill’s and/or talents are perfected strengths such as cooking can become fun or even a hobby. Good cooking is something that takes time and skill and good cooking can’t be rushed otherwise the food does not come out the way it is supposed to.

Make sure you see them off and thank them for their attendance, if you want, send them home with any leftover food you don’t think you will eat. After everyone leaves the cleanup begins. The most essential things to be put away are foods that need to be refrigerated or will go bad if left sitting out. Cleaning up decorations and tables and chairs is optional and depends on what you have to do the next day. Those things can stay for the night and be picked up the morning after.
