    When cooking is unsweetened cocoa powder a thickening agent?

    cocoa powder is very dry and will absorb liquids if given the chance. That's probably why your cereal got thick. But my question is, why would you do that in the first place? Wasn't it quite bitter tasting? unsweetened cocoa powder is meant for baking, not as a condiment and it is anything but...

    My salsa has too much of a vinegar taste. What can I do to it to offset that?

    All you can do is add more of the other ingredients. In my opinion you shouldn't use vinegar in a salsa anyway. Fresh lime juice is best, lemon if that's all you have.

    The date on a half of quart of milk is 9-20-09, should I use the milk to cook macaroni..

    2 ways to tell, other than smell: Taste a tiny bit over the sink. If it's bad you'll know it! Spit and rinse. If you can't bear to do it that way, heat a cup of water in the microwave and put a splash of cold milk in it. If it has even the tiniest lumps, throw it out.

    when canning marinara or salsa can you replace lemon juice with vinegar and if you

    I don't think you should use either lemon juice or vinegar in a marinara. In salsa, lime juice is best but lemon juice would be ok. However, marinara is great canned and salsa should be freshly made. If you are switching, an even exchange would be best.

    Can I cook with the full pomegranate aril?

    only eat the seeds and the juice from them. takes a little while to poke around and get them all out, but they are the only edible part. Do it over the bowl to catch any juices. Oh yeah, pomegranate juice stains badly, Wear an apron, old shirt, whatever and use gloves if you have them.

    why does chocolate go weird if you overheat it?

    This works beautifully to "fix" chocolate. and it doesn't change the flavor! Too much heat causes the chocolate to separate. A quick fix is to add vegetable oil over the heat and whisk until smooth. Add a little at a time, a teaspoon or so, whisking all the while Always melt chocolate over...

    Can you freeze cooked baked Ziti?

    I freeze baked Ziti, lasagna, etc. all the time. If you don't have plastic containers get the Ziti very cold in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes so it's easier to handle. Cut it into serving size pieces and wrap them in plastic and freeze individually. Then when frozen you can put them in...

    Salsa? Made triple batch and it tastes very vinegary and watery. I did not add

    First of all, if it's salsa it should NEVER be cooked. Salsa is fresh. I have to assume you mean sauce of some kind. You can't take out vinegar. The only thing you can do is add more of the rest of the ingredients. If you cook tomatoes they will break down and become very watery so it seems like...
