I keep seeing notices in the stores around town for Hatch green chiles. How are these different from other peppers?

This may sound silly, but what makes a wok a wok? Is it the shape, or does it cook over higher heat? Can I only do the usual Chinese stir-fry in it, or could I use one for other dishes too?

Thanks, that helps a lot. If I want to simmer or roast something, do I have to turn the flame way down, or just keep it the same as if I had a saute pan on the burner?

One more thing... when I have to thicken a sauce with corn starch, do I mix the cornstarch with water or some of the pan juices before I add them to the wok, or do I just put the corn starch right in the pan?

Anyone know why it's so hard to find these in Austin supermarkets? Know of any place that has them? I miss them but wouldn't even try to make them myself.

Mari, I could be wrong, but I suspect they wouldn't turn out looking anything like I'd want them to, if you know what I mean.

Okay, I tried. I'm not a knife whiz, so it took me a while to slice up the two potatoes I did. They didn't crisp up quite as well as I'd hoped, but I did sprinkle the chips with vinegar before they baked, and maybe I shouldn't have done that. They tasted good, though.

I've been trying a lot of different dishes lately and love them, but it seems so much is either fried in oil or lard, or buried under a lot of sauce or cheese. What can I do to try dishes at home ...

So what about refried beans? I never like the rice in Mexican restaurants, but the beans are great.

If I want to grill chicken, how long can I marinate it for (and any good ideas for marinades?)? And how long does it have to stay on the grill for?

This may sound a bit dim, but is there a difference between slow cookers and crock pots, or are they the same thing? Can you slow cook in any other kind of pot?

Any ideas for something simple but really good for a guy with not much cooking experience to make for a date?

She's not a fussy eater at all, and there are no allergies to worry about. Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas. I made some pasta and sausage and made a sauce from lots of garlic roasted in olive oil. Next time will probably go for something with less garlic, you know?

Does anybody have any favorite vegetable side dishes to recommend? I usually just steam green beans or asparagus and would like to add a little variety.

The cucumber salad does look good, and someone just gave me a big tub of cucumbers from their garden this weekend.

I don't know how to make it, but I know what I like to eat, and all the London pubs offered different choices of meat/cheese and herbs in their sausage. I don't know if you would have to stuff them into a casing, though? Maybe someone else knows.
