Anyway, you should share recipes of things you've made that turned out really good. That could become quite an interesting reference thread...

I do like trying out new things though, and if I had more skills in cooking (and a more allowing food budget) I would definitely be trying out some more "exotic" things. But hey, I'll try out what comes my way (unless there's rhubarb in it) and save judgment for post-consumption. ^^
Make a honey/dijon mustard cream sauce for your next pasta dish... yes it is amazing!
Potato cakes out of instant potatoes.. I hate making mashed potatoes at home.

Re: Food Trying
Half month ago, I participated in a party of the "end of the year" in my computers' course. So they decided to make something that's called Fuyke (read as fooyke).
From what they told me, it's putting everything together - vegetables, meat, honey, cola, salt and they also had to put some water. I mean.... Meat, vegetables and honey - no problem. But why did they have to add cola to this thing? O_o
So I decided first to watch how they'll react to this thing and then decide whether to take it or not."Fair means that everybody gets what they need. And the only way to get that is to make it happen yourself."
Since I adore cats, I might write something strange or unusual in my comment.Cats are awesome!!! ^_^

Re: Food Trying
Braising meat in cola is something that's done here alot. It helps break down the tougher cuts of meat and keeps them moist and adds flavor."If you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black

Re: Food Trying
Gleb, using cola is a great way to throw together a quick, impromptu bbq sauce. A can of Coke, some ketchup, and some mustard, and you're good to go. When it comes down to it, really all you are adding is some caramel, sugar, a little salt, and some acids (which will help break down the connective tissue of the meats). The carbonation will obviously go away during the cooking, and it will add a little sweetness to it. You most likely won't even be able to say "hey, that tastes like Coke!".
As for food trying, I made some collard greens for the first time, which turned out pretty damn tasty. And in a week, my wife and I will be going to a place that supposedly the best bbq in the state, run by a guy who went to BBQ School with Guy Fieri (from the Food Network). I'm excited because they have a few things I've never seen before, like deep fried ribs, and cornbread topped with mac and cheese topped with chopped brisket.

Re: Food Trying
When your braising your not reducing the liquids down that much. Yes you will have some reduction but not to that point. The soda is going to get sweeter but in all honesty it doesn't matter the type of soda you use. I personally am not a fan of diet sodas (no offense Duce) so I wouldn't use them but those with dietary restrictions can."If you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black
