Cooking
I have added a new category titled ‘Cooking’. My neighbors have been teaching me to cook for about the last month. They eat pretty healthy and some of their interest in that has rubbed off on me. I hope that I will post recipes and cooking tips that I pick up here.
First just some general observations.
calorie-count.com is a great place to look up calories for the food you may or may not want to cook with.
Splenda is freakin’ good (and must use a netscape app server, note the favicon).
Google can be a huge help in calorie counting and figuring out recipes.
Cooks.com and Allrecipes.com are also very helpful.
Yummy, love cooking! My favorite is Recipezaar.com. It’s the only thing like it online that I enjoyed enough to actually pay for the extra features of being a member (but for free there is still tons of great info, recipes, forums, etc.). I’m looking forward to the yummy!
Oh yeah, I did know that you liked that site. You have mentioned it before. Coolio, adding it to my mental list.
Have you read Alton Brown’s books on cooking? They are great for the geeky cook types (myself included). I’m also a big fan of Splenda.

I found this site with vegan recipes that look really good. I haven’t tried any yet, but I’m subscribed and I star ones I might try sometime.
Splenda gives both my wife and I headaches. She gets them rather severely. I didn’t notice it was the aggravating factor until she started pointing it out as mine were minor.
