This is the venison stew I make... http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1652,151169-251195,00.html I use whatever oil I have on hand for browning (instead of crisco) and I usually put the flour and seasoned salt (or creole seasoning) in a ziplock bag and toss the venison cubes in, give it a good...

Ultimately, I'd like to know how to get them generically useable... blanched, baked, boiled, grilled.... tender, edible on their own, artichokes. BUT... that "Baked in a casserole with garlic, cream, and bubbling cheese" you mentioned sounds fantastic. So, I'd be more than happy to try that...

No matter how much research I do, or how many techniques I try, I cannot manage to cook an edible artichoke! No food has intimidated me in the kitchen like artichokes... I just can't get it. Tips, tricks, advice? Thanks!!

Since "close enough" counts for song titles ;)... we'll call this "Warm Beer and Women with Colds"

Between this and the margaritas and the 75* weather I'm starting to turn a bit green with envy!! One of my favorite white fish preparations is "en papillote" with lemon, butter, garlic, shallots and a few herbs... but I'm going to have to try it with the mango habanero salsa.

You can sub simple syrup for contreau... I'm sure watered down honey would do the job... shot of orange juice probably wouldn't hurt.

There's a couple simple recipes here... http://www.artofdrink.com/archive/popular-cocktails/the-margarita-recipe/ and it sounds like you have everything you need. The "poor man's margarita" I make in the summer (makes a pitcher full) is a 12 oz can of sprite, 12 oz Jose Cuervo SilverTequila, a...

Definitely don't remove the sight without the right tools... cleaned and oiled will definitely do the job. The rust reformer isn't paint, it is clear and chemically changes rust to neutralize it. they sell it in spray cans and regular, small, paint containers... you could easily brush it on...
