10 Power Food Combos. The Oscar winning visionary filmmaker opened up during a Reddit AMA on Saturday afternoon. James Cameron, the acclaimed filmmaker behind sci-fi classics like Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2, as well as the blockbuster behemoths Titanic and Avatar, participated in a surprisingly candid Reddit AMA on Saturday afternoon. The self-proclaimed “king of the world” was online promoting Years of Living Dangerously, a 9-part documentary series about the filmmaking styles of top directors, which will premiere on Sunday, April 13 on Showtime. And Redditors, as is their wont, didn’t let Cameron off easy, prodding him with questions ranging from how to find missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370—Cameron knows how, apparently!

—to his thoughts on climate change, Leonardo DiCaprio, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more. Here’s the cream of the crop. [Note: No changes were made to Mr. Cameron's answers, including grammatical errors] On how best to combat climate change: On how to find Flight MH370: It's funny. Food Pyramid Submissions. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread. I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs.

I am too… and I already ate half of this warm bread. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries. Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal. I've been looking for something different to serve for Valentine's dessert, and this is definitely different.

The strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a bit of liquor, then ignited with a match. For the cake portion, I chose a One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe because 1. it's quick 2. it is easy, and 3. it fits my prerequisite for a light ending on date night. I should say, a light ending provided you don't eat too many. Which is really, really easy to do. The cakes are just sweet enough, and have a light, fluffy crumb - the perfect vehicle for rich chocolate buttercream. Notes for flaming strawberries:Any alcohol below 80 proof will not ignite well. Shaina made a margarita version of this on Babble Food.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside. Rainy day gal & day 6: bacon cinnamon rolls. Sex & Candy Cake and Sweet, Sweet Violation Martini. This time it was in response to a Friday Recitation referencing the infamous song by Marcy Playground "Sex & Candy". Ah, that certainly brings back memories of high school. And, no, not *those* kinds of memories. This was definitely a challenge. How in the world am I to capture the smell of sex and candy? More importantly, how can I do this in an appetizing manner to such a wide audience? When people think of sex and candy, chocolate has to be involved somehow, so I knew that needed to be incorporated. And store bought candy is too cliché, so I made a note to make some myself that could be molded to whatever I ended up making.

But this wasn't good enough. I can tell you one thing - this cake got plenty of foreplay. I decided to create the cake over several days, which was more exciting and less exhausting than trying to do everything at once. This was quite the experience and it certainly was sexy with all the different types of chocolate and exotic fruit aromas lingering in the air. How to make skittles vodka.

Avocado salad | What's Cooking Mexico. Mexico’s population is predominately Catholic. That means that meat (with the exception of fish) must be avoided every Friday of Lent. My parents had to make arrangements at the restaurant to serve meatless dishes during this period. Some of the most popular ones, that I remember, were tortas de papa, fish soups and stews and ensalada de aguacate (avocado salad) I am not religious (and actually I didn’t even know Lent was upon us after preparing this dish), but I thought to share this memory and a little bit of this Mexican tradition with you. The preparation is very simple. All you need is 2 ripe avocados, 1 can of tuna, 1 small can of mixed vegetables (or cooked and diced carrots, green beans, peas and potatoes), 2 TBSP of mayonnaise, the juice of one lime, salt, pepper and a dash of oregano. Wash the avocados. ¡Buen provecho!
