Kind regards

Hi Elric;-) Crooking the Book's:: They Crook on the Elders and the weak, and on the poor, , they add extract expensives to your taxes, and pocketed 80% of your ernings. they lived a double standard life, have buddies under the table to pick up the crums of the left over where your dogs won't get to eat them.. they recipes, are Government that cannot live within its means,, and most of all when your children and grand-children grow up, they will have to pay money that they won't have..... It’s bad enough that the Beltway Bandits steal our retirement, health care, and other entitlement surplus overpayments for invasions and pork, but adding interest merely to support the false idea that they only “borrowed” the money is the greatest crime of all.





In short, we would be better off if the pirates just stole the money and ran off to build their Empire, conduct invasions, and protect themselves behind a wall of false security..... ..Elric this is a good Question ?? This is what Crooking the Book is all about... Peace.

Cooking the Books .. well now looks like all the financial institutions and insurance companies have had some really great recipes Secret recipes handed down only to their best buddies too ..they worked really well and all the top execs loved them they all sailed away on their yachts and left all the dirty dishes, mess, and the big stew pot behind!

To ';cook the books'; means to falsify your figures. It may be in any direction. Either ( for example to lure investors ) to show a profit when you are loosing money, or ( for example to your tax inspectors ) to show a loss when you are making too much money.





Nothin' much to do with the kitchen ... at least not with food.
1 accountant - slightly bent. (an accounts clerk will do, also bent)


1 boss - not too fresh and crisp.


1 confident personality.


1 bank account - preferably in a false name.





Mix together and hope you swing it.





In the event of failure, a passport or at least a good pair of running shoes may be added.






depends, apparently if u r ';laundering money'; you add in more than ur income, if u r trying to rip off the tax man u lower ur income...
Its actually 'crooking the books' not 'cooking the books'
take one freshly shot novel.


add 2 sports pages~lightly simmer stirring rapidly with the times finance page.


serve on a layer of critics with a side salad of the garden news.


hope this helps
Change the entries to make it look like a profit has been made,When in reality they have made a loss.
haha, very funny!
Ha Ha Ha. Get a good accountant

You might find this one interesting -- ';Lutece: A Day in the Life of America's Greatest Restaurant ';. I read it and I liked it.
books by MFK Fisher


or


Anthony Bourdain





these are true, but well written and read like stories.
Crime Brulee by Nancy Fairbanks. Good murder mystery, sprinkled with Cajun recipes.
there are several writer who put food and cooking in their mysteries. Off hand, I can only think of Tamar Myers, and she has a bunch of them out there..they are funny and good stories.





I just did a quick search on Google ';mystery and cooking'; and came up with a huge list of books on Amazon, mysteries/suspense, and all have cooking in them.

I need the recipe for connelloni that was featured in the time life books cooking of Italy?

I think you mean Cannelloni... I don't know the recipe featured in the time like books cooking of Italy, but here's one similar to it:





Italian Baked Cannelloni





INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup olive oil


1 pound lean ground beef


1 onion, thinly sliced


1/4 teaspoon dried sage


1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary


salt to taste


1/2 cup white wine


12 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed


2 egg yolks





4 tablespoons butter


4 tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 cups milk





2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes


1 onion, thinly sliced


2 tablespoons butter


1/2 cup white wine


salt and pepper to taste


12 cannelloni pasta shells





DIRECTIONS


To make the Cannelloni Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil and saute ground beef with the onion, sage and rosemary; cook until meat is evenly browned and crumbly. Add salt and 1/2 cup white wine; cook until wine is evaporated.


To make the Bechamel sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until well incorporated. Stir in milk and bring to a slow boil until mixture thickens. Stir into the meat mixture and mix well. Stir in the mozzarella and egg yolks; set aside.


In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and saute onion until soft and translucent. Add 1/2 cup white wine and let it cook down to evaporate; add tomato and salt. Mix well; simmer for 15 minutes.


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, a few at a time, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; using a slotted spoon, remove immediately to a pot filled with cold water. Lift pasta out with slotted spoon and arrange on a flat surface.


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Spoon a line of filling into each shell, starting from one end and using your finger to push the filling inside of each shell. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, place cannelloni and cover with tomato mixture.


Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until heated through; when finished baking, allow to stand for 5 minutes and serve.

I live on my own and like cooking. Can anyone recommend any good websites or recipe books for one person?

(I do really mean cooking, not just microwaving ready meals or really basic student cooking - its really hard trying to divide recipes that are designed for 4 or 6 people!)





Thanks


Marie-EI live on my own and like cooking. Can anyone recommend any good websites or recipe books for one person?
I NEVER cook for one person even though I live by myself. I'll cook and put the extras into zip look baggies and freeze those puppies and they never go to waste! A whole roast chicken is good for two.


You don't tell anybody what you like - Italian, Mexican, spicy or bland.

Hello food lover...

Here are some sites for good recipes...

Cooking for one is really hard to do , to the point where it's very questionable whether or not it's actually worth the cost and effort .


Converting recipes is basically straightforward stuff once somebody has shown you how to do it correctly.


The problem becomes that at a single serving portion size , the recipes are all going to contain bastard numbers and may very well be impossible to actually make as one portion


Out of necessity therefore, portions have to increased so they are make-able .


One of three things will happen after that :


You will eat more than you intended to.


You will throw out more than you intended to


or You will have a lot of left-overs that hopefully you will some day eat .


To further complicate this problem


is the reality of shopping. Unless you are fortunate enough to have a store where you can buy food in single serving sizes including herbs and spices you will wind up wasting a lot of food.


The reason that single people wind up eating in restaurants is not that they can't cook ; it's just that after all is said and done it's simply not worth it to do so.

What's the best way of cooking your baby's meal? And recipe book?

My daughter is now almost 9 months old and she's having proper food (instead of horrible jarred). yesterday she had cod fillet and fresh tomatoes and it was easy to cook. But what if I want to cook a slice of beef? I will then cut it in very small pieces and serve it with carrots and sweet corn but I'm not sure. You can't really steam beef, can you?


Also I recently bought Annabel Karmel recipe book. Is it really safe to cook baby food using butter? She seems to use butter a lot in her recipes...is this right?What's the best way of cooking your baby's meal? And recipe book?
If she's eating regular table food, then offer her regular table food. Cook meals for yourself, cut up a portion for baby, and put it on her tray.





(Or, if you are making something for yourself that is completely inappopriate, either offer her whatever parts of the meal ARE appropriate (she doesn't need complete balanced meal at every sitting), or make up something simple for her (yogurt, a handful of cheese, crackers, etc.). Except for honey, if she can gum it up, she can eat it.





Butter is fine. Oil is fine. Spices are fine. (And yes, you can steam beef, but I can't see any real reason to do so.) What's the best way of cooking your baby's meal? And recipe book?
Check out www.wholesomebabyfood.com and www.wholesometoddlerfood.com. Both have a lot of great finger food tips and recipes. And they are FREE! Can't beat that.





I had each of my kids on ';regular'; table food by 9 months. I just separate out their portion prior to adding spices. This got them used to my cooking early on while also saving tons of money over ready-prepared jar foods.
Her book is fab!! Yes, they need the fats in whole milk, cheese, etc etc so no harm done (watch out for the salt in butter though) I used to liquidise a lot of meaty meals - leave a few bits for her to get used to the texture, but its easier to eat for her pureed.
