Arroz Con Pollo Recipe

1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts cut up
1 medium onion quartered
2 green peppers chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced
2 Tablespoons cilantro
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup crushed and drained canned tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 dash of cayenne pepper
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)

Saute chicken until white, about 5 minutes. set aside and keep warm. In large skillet bring all other ingredients except peas to a boil. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes, until rice has absorbed liquid. Add peas, remove from heat and let steam. Arrange chicken over rice. Makes 6 servings

this is a definition of Turmeric ( 1st recipe)

Turmeric is a root relative (Curcuma longa) of ginger that is widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes. As a spice, it is most commonly found in ground, dried form and sometimes referred to as Indian saffron.

The flavor hints at bitterness and its best asset may be the yellowish-orange color that it imparts to foods. Common prepared mustard receives its distinctive hue from turmeric, as does curry powder.
Buying Tips

India provides the largest portion of commercial turmeric, which is considered superior. Ethnic markets will typically carry rootstock and a wider range of ground brands.

Purchase in small quantities when possible, although as an inexpensive spice, it is tempting to buy large containers. Turmeric becomes unpalatable when used past its shelf life. It will also develop an unpleasant smell.

17th Birthday Party Ideas?

In December, I turn 17. So I want to start thinking about what to do for my 17th bday. I like to make dinner and have my friends come over for a movie or something like that. Do you have any good ideas or recipes? Please help! Thanks for your time!


Answer
You could do a themed night, and then you cook the meal based on that theme.
In the summer i want to do an american night (im from england) for me and my friends because we all have recently got american penpal/friends through doing politics at school. Because of this we have started to exchange british sweets for american candy. But i thought it would be good to do an american themed night. Im not too sure about what they ate really but here are the ideas i came up with- fried chicken, hamburgers, meatloaf, boston cream pie, keylime pie and that sort of thing. You could buy some american flags cheap on the internet because it is comming up to independence day i think, so you could decorate with america flags/banners. Im not sure if theres any american style games or anything so you could just watch american movies (chick flicks) most are american
If you want to buy some american candy ( i will give you a link) you can start buying a few bits now so you spread the cost out, dont go overboard though.
You could do the same for other countries- india, china, japan, jamaca- these are quite easy to get hold of recipie wise so from india you could do a traditional curry with naan bread and all the starters, china you could do different noodle dishes and stir frys, jamaca you could do jerk chicken and rice and peas.
If you cant get hold of their flags you could always print some off and even paint some on big pieces of card/paper. along with the usual ballons and streamers, which you could try and match the colours with the flag of the country so america you can use red, white and blue balloons.
If you were to do american food in selfridges they do do a range of american branded food like jello and marshmellow fluff which they use to make samores which i will find a recipie for.
Apart from countries you could do las vegas and borrow a poker set from someone and paint big playing cards onto pieces of paper. You could do a hawaii theme and buy everyone a lei from a party shop or online and make fruity cocktails (non alcoholic) and do limbo. You could do a black and white theme and you wear colour.
