Brine VS Cure
Hello foodies and hungry peeps,
I am here today to explain to you two ways that you can marinade meat, generally poultry, without many ingredients.
First you have a Cure, which is was originally used to conserve meat that was not being used. Now it is used to marinade meat products and make them delicious. All you need is salt, sugar, herbs and spices. You mix it all together and and then rub the meat with the mixture. Then you let it sit or you can actually conserve the meat for a long time and it will taste delicious and amazing when you roast or grill or however you decide to cook it.
A Brine is essentially the same thing, except you dissolve it all in water. I also add vinegar to the mixture to give it some tang so there is a pop of flavor when you taste the finished product. What you have to do is boil water and once boiled, combine all the ingredients in it and cook it until the color changes. The color will depend on what herbs you put in it. When the brine is done, you have to cool it, and then you can drop the meat product into it.
These are generally done with poultry since they are usually more dry than beef or pork. I prefer a brine since it gives much more flavor and moisture to the product.
I hope this helps everyone looking for some simple ways to make their food delicious and in the spirit, Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah to everyone! Good Cooking...

WANNA MAKE SOME EASY MONEY!!!
Hello One and All,
So I have been doing a lot of this online survey taking and other simple things to get money online. Its super easy and takes basically nothing at all to do. I have compiled a list of sites that I have at least been on and signed up for. I don't really use all of them, but I am still learning how to make as much possible money from these sites as I can. I want to spread the easiness that is money making to the people of the world. But I warn you, you must be very careful with this kinds of sites because lots of them can lead you into tricky scams. But I have a few simple rules that will help you to not fall into someones trap:
1. NEVER NEVER give your Social Security number.
2. Don't use your main email because you will get lots of spam. Create a email for these sites.
3. Giving your address is not bad, and some sites need your address in order to email you checks, but you might get a lot of junk mail, so be prepared to throw out a lot of trash.
4. Don't give Credit Card info or any license numbers.
5. Pop-ups from these sites are FAKE and do not click on them.
6. I don't personally do downloads to make money, but i have heard they are generally okay. Download at your own chance. I would say go to a public computer and download them there. I mean who the hell cares???
7. If it doesn't say https://, (means secure site) then do not, I mean DO NOT put any information that could get you scammed or hacked.
I guess thats about it, but if you follow those simple rules, you will make lots of easy money and not get screwed. Here are the sites that i have been using. Enjoy and make that BANK!!!

Three Sauces You Can Make From a Roast Pan!!!
Whenever you make a roast, you are always left with those caramelized juices stuck to the bottom with all the veggies that you cooked your roast (pork chop, roast beef, chicken, etc.) on. There are probably thousands of sauces that you can make from these juices, but here are the basic three that end up being the backbone of every sauce you could make from these pans.
First you have a Jus. Its okay if you can't pronounce it, just don't say Jew, cause some people in my class have. This is a thinner sauce. Here are the steps:
1. First you must cooked away all the water liquid from the pan by cooking it on a stove. This will leave you with only the veggies, or mirepoix if you want to be fancy, and the oil or fatty part of the liquid. Get those juices nice and caramelized at the bottom of the pan. Then you have to pour the fat, or oil away from the pan so that your left with only the caramelized bits. This is the degreasing step in making the sauce.
2. Now you must deglaze the pan. For this you will need to add water or wine. Some liquid that will be able to pick up the bits of flavor off the bottom of the pan. Just don't add a fat to deglaze. Heat up the liquid in the pan and don't stir for a few minutes to let the goodies on the bottom detach.
3. Now you must stir the liquid and fond (that's all the caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan) together to get a nice consistensy and dissolve all the fond.
4. Strain the mirepoix so that you are only left with the Jus.
5. Season to taste and you are ready to serve.
The second sauce you can make is a Jus Lie. This is essentially the same thing as the Jus, but it is thickened slightly with cornstarch, or something that has the same effect.
1. Cook away all the water so you are left with the fond, the mirepoix, and the oil. Once you have done this, instead of pouring out the fat, in this case oil, you pour in cornstarch that has been dissolved in water. Pour it in little at a time just enough to get it a little thick. You don't want your sauce tasting like starch.
2. Now you deglaze with wine, water, stock, etc.
3. Strain out the mirepoix.
4. Season to taste and you are all finished.
The third is a Pan Gravy. This is different from the other two sauces because it is much thicker.
1. Once again, you cook away all the water. At this point, you put flour into the pan and stir up the fond with the flour until you get a wet sand like consistency.
2. Now you deglaze.
3. Strain
4. Season to taste
Those are the three sauces that you can make from roast pan drippings. Depending on the meat that is being served, you should use different wine's to deglaze the pan. From these basic sauces, you can create whatever you want to. Maybe deglaze with a juice instead of wine, or add herbs and spices to the fond to get a garden taste. Its all up too you. I hope this has helped.

The HungryGamer

Diablo 3 Beta Out Now....but be careful!
Hey There Internet Surfers,
Diablo 3 is going to blow the lid off of millions of heads when it officially comes out, but for now, before you can have your mind blown from playing the world of Diablo 3, you can play the beta. I personally have not played the beta as I do not have time, but I have read a lot about the beta. It seems amazing and out of this world.
I still remember playing Diablo 2 and summoning Golem's with my beast Necromancer and axing people's faces in with my deadly Barbarian. If you haven't played Diablo, I would say get on it. If you wanna go retro, play the first Diablo which is equally amazing as the second. There's a lot more abilities, quests and characters in the second one, especially with the expansions.
But, although the beta is being played successfully for the most part, some people are getting screwed by fake promotional code giveaways. Check this site out for more information:
http://www.diablo3beta.co/
In summary, be careful when clicking on links to getting a Diablo 3 beta code. As it could be a possible virus or it could just be some bastard who gets his kicks from screwing with thousands of people. I hate those bastards....BBBBAAAASSSSTTTTAAAARRRRRDDDDDSSSSS!!!!
There is not a release date yet, but get excited, cause I know I am. In the mean time, you can watch tons of gameplay and character class videos on YouTube. The official Opening Cinematic was recently released (Click Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prJlQ5XKlTE) and you can check out all the info about the characters your brain can handle (Click Here http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/characters/)
I will put up a review on the five characters soon and what my thoughts are on each one.
Also, check out a few of these cool screen shots I have found.
