  2. In bowl, mix sautéed vegetable with Worcestershire sauce, fresh basil and Canadian Gruyère cheese.
  3. Cut veal breast in its thickness, in a spiral-like fashion as to 'unroll' the meat.

    Here's the thing, each year our whole family gathers together and does different dishes for Thanksgiving. This year, I thought I'd give the little Turkey guy a try. I've got the little guy almost done, I just need to marinate him, and I need to get the stuffing ready. I got some recipes online but they seem a little too "difficult". Yes, I know how to cook, lol! But I'm not a great cook. I need a simple, not-too-long, delicious turkey stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving. Any ideas?

    I'm trying to make a spreadable jelly for use on toast and biscuits and all manner of bready delights, and I tried making a recipe for a pu erh tea jelly (I'm a fan of teas), and it turned out to be a gelatin. What I'd like to know is whether or not agar agar can be used for such a thing or if I should invest in a different gelling agent?
