Easy Basic Stir Fry Recipe

Stir Fry vegtables

I have just whipped up a new stir fry recipe. Since I cook mostly by flavor everytime I cook it tastes a little different. When friends say “can I have the recipe for your stir fry?” I usually say toss in a little of this and a little of that and they all look terrified to try cooking by taste. I made a stir fry last night and actually wrote down the recipe while I cooked. This stir fry recipe can be changed just by adding different vegtables. The stir fry sauce can also be changed just by mixing different ingredients in a small bowl then tasting them. If you make a boo boo in the sauce just dump it out and start again. You won’t ruin the whole dish if you mix the sauce in a seperate bowl and then taste it as you add spices and different things.

Tap Water Safety

goodfood — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:37:12 +0000

People that need to drink tap water should to be aware of basic tap water safety precautions.

Alway let water run for at least a minute in the morning before you drink it or use it for cooking. Water will absorb ingredients from the pipes when water sits in the pipes for a few hours.
Always use cold water from the tap to drink or to cook with. Hot water comes from the hot water heater and can include sediment, rust and other materials that gather at the bottom of the tank. You can periodically bleed the bottom of the boiler tank to make it safer for washing dishes.
Put an open container of cold water into the refrigerator so the chlorine can evaporate before you drink it.
