Soul Food Recipes - 3 Golden Rules of Preparation

Soul food recipes have a reputation of being simple but not always easy. There's a unique difference. With practice and patience most people can master the average soul food recipe. The problems mount when you mistake a simple recipe as an easy recipe. This usually results in taking an ingredient, cooking technique or method for granted.

Before you take on any recipe, make sure you understand what cooking technique you must apply, what cooking tools and equipment you'll need and what ingredients the recipe calls for.

The sound of "what happened" comes from the lips of most would-be cooks who thought skipping what they thought was a small and not so important step the recipe called for. This is an obvious golden rule to remember. But there are 3 golden rules to having success with soul food recipes. I'll cover them here.

1. Thou Shall Make A Shopping List

This is a simple actions many people neglect to do. Research has proven people who use a shopping list save 10 - 45% more money and save almost twice as much time shopping than those who don't. This doesn't count having to go back to the store because you forgot something important the recipe called for.

2. Thou Shall Learn The Language Of Recipes

Or at least keep a good dictionary close by. There's an old saying that if you can read you can cook. That's saying is partially true, but not completely true. A more accurate saying is If you can understand the language of recipes you can cook. You have to know the difference between searing, braising and roasting, if not your result will turn out different than you planned.

3. Thou Shall Learn From Thy Mistakes

This is one of the most important golden rules of all. Why? Because every cook makes mistakes even the worlds best. The difference between a good cook and a bad cook is the good one's took the time to learn from there mistakes. Notice I said take the time to learn from their mistakes. When you burn , overcook, undercook or goof up a recipe, the first impulse is to throw your hand up in despair and quit. But the key hear is to retrace your steps, find out what you didn't do and try it again.

If you take the time to follow these simple golden rules I can't promise you'll end the next Rachel Ray, Emeril Lagasse or host your own cooking show. But I can promise you'll improve your soul food recipe cooking successes.

Guest Stars on Friends - One Of My Favourites Has To Be Brad Pitt Starring As Will Colbert

There have been many guest stars on Friends over the years, and I guess as the hit show got bigger so did the special guest stars. However, amongst the various famous faces to appear on one of TV's biggest shows, one of my all time favourites has to be Brad Pitt, who starred as Will Colbert. Brad, of course, ended up dating, and then marrying Rachel aka Jennifer Aniston, but do you recall this hilarious guest on Friends?

Will was Ross's fat friend from school who co-founded the "I hate Rachel Green club". The only other member was the exchange student from Thailand, although Takia didn't seem to know much about it. Monica also had a soft spot for Will as she was known as his thin friend whilst at school. Will's hatred for Rachel seems to stem from the fact that he was an unpopular fat kid, whereas she was an extremely popular cheerleader, and thus made his life hell.

It wasn't until years later, when Will had lost over 180 pounds and was the smouldering and sexy guest who visited for Thanksgiving, that Rachel finally noticed him. It's a hilarious turn of events at the Thanksgiving dinner, and there are numerous references made about Will's stunning good looks - my favourite of which has to be Chandler Mentioning that he thinks it would be better for his ego if him and Will did not stand next to each other.

During the dinner, accounts of the past slowly unravel. Firstly, we discover that the I hate Rachel Green club started a rumour that Rachel was a hermaphrodite cheerleader from Long Island. Possibly even funnier was the fact that Ross had a secret fling with the school's 50-year-old librarian, Miss Altman! Unfortunately, Will also reveals that the Thai exchange student had a similar liaison with Miss Altman.

Brad Pitt's appearance as one of the many guest stars on Friends tells us exactly how big the show about six New Yorkers actually got. In fact, I would imagine that Brad was the biggest Hollywood draw at that moMent in time. However, the producers of the show used Brad's looks as a source of fun and hilarity. The fact that Phoebe spends the whole episode trying to get Will to take off his shirt is an equal cause of amuseMent. Of course, Phoebe finally gets her way, well sort of, when she hugs Will as opposed to giving a high five. Obviously, Phoebe let us now it was just how she imagined it would be.
