Taking creme brulee to the next level.......... Posted: 4/18/2011 8:58:53 AM
I would highly recommend using a torch and white sugar for that beautiful crispy and carmelized top. Butane torches are not overly expensive and can be found at any quality cookware store for about $65. Creme Brule is so easy to prepare and all sorts of flavours added to the cream/custard base including orange/Grand Marnier, maple sugar (yummy!), chocolate, coffee, etc. I used to have a small cook book dedicated to making creme brulee but really the flavour modifications are so easy and obvious.

Thai Sweet Chilli Prawns Posted: 4/18/2011 8:52:19 AM
That is correct, the amount of citrus dilluted by the mirin does not have the affect of cooking the prawn, specially when kept refrigerated. The mirin and lime juice adds a nice complex flavor to to the prawns rather than just masking them with the Thai Chilli sauce resuting more in a layering of taste. You can do the same trick with hallibut or other white fish. Enjoy! Chef Ira @ http://www.partychef.ca

Thai Sweet Chilli Prawns Posted: 4/15/2011 12:00:53 PM
Here is an easy receipe and a crowd pleaser that can be cooked in the BBQ or in a oven (450F) I use 13/15 (13-15 in a pound) size black spotted prawns because I like their firmness and taste. I use two to a 8" skewer but you can go larger and go 1 to a skewer as well. Marinate the prawns after de-shelling them (except for the last segment & tail) in a combination of Japanese Mirin & fresh lime juice (1/4 cup to 1 lime for 1 lb). Let them sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Skewer them and set them on a baking dish with parchment paper or tin foil. Baste them in Thai Chili Chicken or Spring Roll sauce and set them to cook for approx 5 minutes on each side. Baste after turning them and baste again after taking them out of the oven. My clients always love these. Chef Ira @ http://www.partchef.ca

Homemade Batters For Deep Frying Posted: 4/14/2011 7:41:00 PM
Here is great batter for coating and baking anything including chicken, pork, fish and vegetables. I am also a food vendor, caterer, and I prefer to bake over deep frying, being healthy options concious and I am not sure how well this particular batter would fair in a deep fryer. Breading: 1) 1/2 Cup Panko flakes 2) 1/4 cup finely ground pecans 3) 1 tsp salt 4) 1 tsp freshly ground pepper 5) 1 tsp ceyenne pepper Coat your vegetables, chicken first with egg whites and roll in panko mix. Bake at 375F. Enjoy! Chef Ira @ http://www.partychef.ca

roasting garlic for mash Posted: 4/14/2011 10:29:56 AM
Never bother trying to "roast" any vegetable yet alone galic in a microwave. The results are always poor compared to oven roasted vegetables. As far as getting the sweet garlic taste in your mash, it is far easier just to toss the garlic in while boiling the potatoes to get the same effect. I used to roast garlic, then have to squeeze it out of the cloves to add to the mash...very time consuming. Enjoy! Chef Ira @ http://www.partychef.ca

I found myself and many friends...what a wonderful experience this has been! Posted: 5/9/2006 10:41:20 AM
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, good night, I hate to go and leave this pretty site. So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, adieu, Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu. My six months here is up and it is time for me to say farewell. I can't easily express how much my experience at POF and all the friends I have made has helped me find myself again through this transitionary period in my life. I stand proud knowing I handled my life with all your help and advice in a very responsible and mature manner, and I leave here knowing I have left a little beacon of hope for honesty and integrity in the way we represent ourselves to others. POF is way more than just another dating site...it is a community of people in similar transitions reaching out to connect with eachother for love, companionship, help, advice or just simply, validation. It is such a wonderful community that people choose to stay, even when their transitions are finished. I think that in itself is a wonderful testimonial to POF and the people here....and did anyone tell ytouy it is still 100% FREE! My goal when I started here was to rebuild my real life with loving and loyal friends to join me in my journey of re-singledom. I have met a lot of super new friends and I hope to meet some more throughout my travels in the summer. Be scared, Be worried, Be unsettled if you are on my "ToDo" List. The people I owe much too (here is where I break the rules and list a whole bunch of names in no specific order...and don't bust my chops if I have missed you !) Alexis0443, Miss D, Beffers65, bucsgirl, Classy_Canuck, ~iice~, Jossi, Kevacoclis, Cuidado_Llamas, sheri_lynn, always_yummy, curveyQutie, chocolateDate MichaelAnn, MyIsland, Ascuteasabug, Becky B, Charlie_Girl, S_Davina, BlastFemme, CheekyChica, Indigo_Rose, Huhni, Alis_Kat, Ooli, MellyBabez, Sexy & Brainy,Classique~1, Maliblue, Belfast_Child, Missy, Shandette, Molonel, Sasquatch2, Nuthafish, Angel_Without_Halo, Catch A Star, WhoDeletedMe, MusicGirl, Fran_Gal, MsNicki, SUCKAFISH, PourSugarOnME, Lainey1, jenjen123, flyfishGal,rain_city, truegolfergirl, tansi, Missy, kikilynn, TO_Woman, Britcan blondeamazon, IamBubbles, dreamingbig, Lianebo, ladydi8, Mother Theresa, Deltadawn and finally katy332001 who I owe my gratitudes for finding this amazing place I will hopefully see some of over the summer at POF events or you can find me walking and hiking with the groups over at MeetUp.com.

I do get your vanilla~spice- wink - wink I am not a big fan of entrapment but if that is what it takes to clean house of pedophiles then I am all for it. The smart pedophiles and registered sex offenders are way to clever to get caught though. The ones that do get snared are the morally corrupt and curious men that get all caught up in the attention and attraction. Still I wouldn't want them going after my daughter so all is fair as far as I am concerned. All the more reason to keep on-line limited to catalog date shopping...take it live safely and then see whether its worth going on. Bandito

@vanilla~spice, there are a lot of men out there posing as women because: a) They are gay/bi enjoying toying or teasing another male...specially hetro b) they are trying to get in the cyber pants of another women that maybe bi/lesbian\ Actually, a large proportion of posers out there are teenagers 12-17. They worry me the most because they are toying in a media that can get them in big trouble. Its not safe here...don't ever assume that. Bandito

No it isn't normal...but maybe things work differently in Quebec My guess is that they were both working you with the attitude that this way, one of them would score. Your friend was in on it and even was possibly into the other guy. Maybe even the fearsome threesome was their gameplan? Regardless, it was noit normal. Your friend was no friend to allow that to go on. Bandito

In general, women are not attracted to shorter men....so I don't think it is reasonable to respond to a profile where she is 5'8 or over stating that she is looking for men 5'9" or over. I am 5'8" and I have replied to one or two with a clever quip like "Missed it by that much", my favourite line from Maxwell Smart. It worked too! She is one of my best friends Bandito

Beware of people that are recently out of LTR's looking for Long Term. I think most people exiting LTR's (marriages, living together, Long Term) should wait 6months - 12 months before thinking about Long Term again. You need time to work things out...sometimes that might just be running back to your ex if that is the best thing. People need to be understanding of the fact that this is a transitional state. Its been about 12 months for me, I would never have gone back to my ex but I needed the time for me without inviting anyone new in my life to share my heart with....well I did get my dog Bandito

Putting yourself on 'hold' Posted: 5/8/2006 9:40:06 AM
I would say I am limiting the scope of meeting new women to friendship rather than declaring myself "On Hold". It just sounds too much like your refusing to meet anyone regardless of scope. Regardless of what you call it I think I was lucky that I was mature enough to recognize that relationships were a bad idea after finding myself with my kids full time and being re-singled. Self discovery after exiting a LTR is necessary as we all tend to comprimise ourselves for the sake of the relationship so you need to find yourself again, find out what you really want, and what you priorities are in lieu of what you learned from your last relationship. Although it be nice to have the full meal deal, I am happy in the state I am in, feeling fortunate to have the time an opportunity to correct my life path before inviting anyone new into a relationship with us...well its no longer just me...3+1dog now have a say too Bandito

Wow...you hear about a lot of guiys faking female profiles but this is the first time I have heard of a female faking a male profile...well with the exception of some very insecure & jealous females trying to keep tabs on their boyfriends here I think its a real sad testimony of the quality of experience that can be gained here. Sooner or later no one will believe anything about the profiles and the service will die. I recommend to everyone not to waste time chatting on-line. Exchange a couple of e-mails, talk on the phone and arrange to meet in a public place within a very short timeframe...2-4 weeks max. Any longer and odds are you are building up expectations that will only be broken. Bandito

Your profile is not bad...not great either, just kind of run of the mill average. I can tell you that smoking is a big turn off, specially to reformed smokers like me who are still addicted and not want to be a smoker again. Ignoring the health issues, smoking will kill your social life. If your looking for friends...then tell us more about the things your looking to do together like you have done with movies & camping. Try to add in some humour & Zing if possible to make you stand out above the other 45 year old women in your area. Best of luck to you! Bandito

For a 18 year old looking for friends here your profile is fine. Don't invest too much and just beware the average age group here is well beyond 25+ unlike mySpace wich tyipically caters to a younger group. Your best pic for your main profile pic is your last pic. In general, never use a group shot, try having a few pics that are taken outdoors, and keep the number of cam shots to a minimum. You are young, beautiful...enjoy yourself but be careful!

First off...l.you are stunningly beautiful and your pics...thats is about 75% of the battle in attracting responses. If you want more responses...turn up the sex appeal a bit in a classy way. Paint nice and fun visuals of being together with the man your looking for...playing on the beach, sdancing closely in eachothers arms....etc. It is really easy and amazingly affective. You don't need comments...just more patience Best of luck to you, Bandito

Well I maybe not an expert but this is about one of the worst ways you can start a profile description...why, because it is written in direct first person so the reader is being attacked, put on the defensive even before he has a chance to settle in. you could have easily take out the directness like "I'm a fun loving southern girl with lots of attitude that doesn't have time for petty bullsht...be straight up with no game playing...my time is way to valuable to have to be told what people think I want to hear". Too be honest, the whole paragraphy can be deleted with the exception of "I'm a fun loving southern girl with lots of attitude". Posting no pics on top of this is pure date shopping suicide.

I think you did a really good job with your profile...nothing tragically wrong with it....could use a bit more Zing/Pazazz. I think the real problem might be the pool size for 55+ in small town BC pond just really limits the number of bites you are going to get. It doesn't mean there is something wrong, just the on-line date shopping relies on a certain pond size to be effective. You might want to thing of alternate ways to meet singles as you sound lovely.

More attractive when your Taken Posted: 5/7/2006 7:54:07 AM
To address the OP's original question, I agree with the premise that people in relatyionships are perceived as being more confident...after all there isn't much reason to feel insecure. I have a slightly different take. I observed the same phenomenum the day I first slipped my wedding ring on. All of a sudden, more women around me were flirting. Why you ask? Well because I was perceived as being "safe". Women like to flirt but they don't want to be "hit on". So they enjoy flirting and receiving attention from "safe" males. Now that I no longer wear my wedding ring no one flirts with me

Generally, unless he has the looks, money or power that models, actresses, MTV video lasses are all out of reach. Time for the OP to look deeper for a real partner and not a trophy Bandito

What To Do Posted: 5/7/2006 7:34:42 AM
The guy was a fake...he lied and cheated his way into you being interested in him for reasons mostly to do with sex....perhaps he started with the intention of on-line sex but got cold feet when it became real meet time. This happens so often....guys lie to win your affection thinking what the hell, you will never find out...then an occassion happens like opportunity to meet that makes them run yellow with their tail between their legs. I keep on telling people this...don't spend too much time on-line before meeting if you don't have too. Odds are there that there is something wrong that you won't find out unless you meet. Guys prey on women that think it is safer to scope things out on-line rather than meet first. Just my humble opinion, Bandito

Easy on the throttle and don't get to far ahead of yourself. Reminds me of that anticipation we get when fishing and you get a big strike on your line. Be patient, make sure you set the hook well before any thoughts of reeling him in. Bandito

Time to Come Out! Posted: 5/6/2006 8:50:49 AM
Coming out with any news to family that isn't going to be perceived as being "acceptable" is always a difficult thing. However, think how much more relaxed with yourself you are going to feel after you have done it. You may wish to go to a close and liberal family member first..inlist their help to soften the blow. Even a professional might be helpful if your parents are staunch and anti-gay. I often wonder how I would react if one of my 3 children would tell me that they are gay...how I would feel. I know I would shower them with love no matter if I felt disappointed inside. My oldest brother was gay...he came out @ 13 (this was Toronto, 1971...still closeted gay community at that time). My parents failed him, cruxifide him for his sexuality...I know in my heart I could never do the same. However, there are good ways and bad ways of communicating difficult news...plan it out...find the easiest path for everyone involved. Best of luck to you! Bandito
