Red Wine Sauce Recipes for Home Cooks Mustard and Thyme Red Wine Pan Sauce This sauce is easy to make and don’t take that much time and the quick recipe cuts down the time even more.

Jungle Survival: Finding Water" Because jungles are so wet, collecting rainwater is probably the easiest part of survival. Leaves on the rainforest floor are large because of the limited amount of sunlight they get. The larger the leaf, the more of the sun's rays it can soak up. Large leaves are useful in collecting dew and rainwater. If you have a container to store water, simply angle a leaf into it overnight or during a rainstorm and you have some fresh drinking water in no time. If you have a poncho, tie it to a tree on a slant to allow the rain to collect and drain. You'll fare even better if you can find a running water source. Believe it or not, plastic bottles also work for boiling. Green bamboo has clear and odorless water inside it that you can drink. Another way to collect water is to make a solar still. The moisture from the ground reacts with the heat from the sun to produce condensation on the plastic. These are just a few methods you can use.
Chicken Marsala and Chicken Piccata Recipe Italian Delight A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends upon your appetite I’ll meet you any time you want In our Italian Restaurant. - Billy Joel When I lived in New York City, there was a restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen, 39th and 9th Avenue, just across from the Port Authority called Guido’s Restaurant or Supreme Macaroni. The front of the restaurant was a small store with shelves lined with pasta. You would walk through the store to get to the restaurant in back. In my memory, Guido’s was bigger than the descriptions I’ve been reading online. Photo from www.billyjoel.com I also remember you could order wine in carafes and they would give you what looked like juice glasses to drink from. Ingredients 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts All-purpose flour, for coating the chicken Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoon olive oil 4 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup white wine 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup chicken stock 1/4 cup brined capers 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs If I ask my kids what they want for dinner, there's a ninety percent chance they will say pizza. They love it, as most kids do. I guess I have an affection for it too, but we don't indulge too often. So when my kids came home from school and I had this afternoon snack waiting for them, they were pretty excited to be having pizza at 3 PM. These are the simplest, yummiest little bites. If you have a mini muffin pan you are good to go. Preheat oven to 375o. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through, then stir in 1 Tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 Tablespoon basil.

Magic Sauce Recipe I call this the magic sauce recipe. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. If that. Let's just start by putting one thing out there. It's as versatile as a black dress. - More Herb Recipes - - More Paprika Recipes - - More Quick Recipes - 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 2 teaspoons sweet paprika 2 medium cloves of garlic, smashed into a paste 1 well-crumbled bay leaf pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon + fine grain sea salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot.

www.inthewoodshop.com/Furniture/MakingAWoodenHinge.html Back to Building Furniture Making a Wooden Hinge for a Box Here is a pictorial of how I fashioned the wooden hinges for a box I built. Note that this hinge is but one of many possible methods and designs. Frankly I do not see it as the prettiest I have designed – but it fitted with the project. Tools used were predominantly hand tools, but with a sprinkling of power thrown in. We have to start somewhere, and what better than the basic stock .. Set up as if you are to cut a dovetail, but mark out for a box joint instead .. Saw merrily .. Then saw some more .. Stop sawing and do some paring instead .. Transfer the marks and saw and chisel some more .. I used a brass washer as a template to scribe the rounds for the ends. Mark and drill for the steel pivot (I'm going to use a thick gauge nail) .. With the nail inserted .. Time to get out the rasps to round out the ends … to the scribed circles (from the washer/template). You should be able to move the hinge at extreme angles .. Not quite done. Derek
Homemade Bread Recipe If you have a Kitchen Aid Mixer, that's great it will do the work for you. But if you don't, it's ok, you can mix everything by hand and it will turn just fine. I will be using a mixer and the dough attachment. Start by putting the flour, the yeast, the sugar and the salt and start mixing on speed 2 .. When you're done mixing and the dough is a bit sticky but not significantly sticking to your hands, start kneading it with a bit of flour and form it into a ball.
