Nashville

Is Nashville y'all!! Road trip city #3, country music, bbq ribs and real cowboys! From Kentucky to Tennessee... After leaving Cincinnati, feeling on a sugar rush we stop by Hodgenville, Kentucky. This is the birthday place of Lincoln. It is a very small but has that a great charm, if you are fan of Lincoln, you should stop by and get a feel of his up bringing.

What is the difference between Baking Powder and Baking Soda? Some recipes call for Baking Powder, some recipes call for both. Having a conversation with some of my Chef friends.

Baking Soda: Is an Alkaline It reacts with heat It reacts with acidity Baking Soda has so many purposes other than cooking. It used to be use as: Teeth Whitening Feet deodorant Elbow and knee whitening Silver and metal cleaner Stomach anti-acid Face scrub And even the Bath bombs for relaxing Baths contain up to 50% of Baking Soda Bicarbonate Soda is use in baking to generate "carbon dioxide". As (NaHCO3) reacts just at 60 C or to acidity. Baking Powder first type was made with wood ash acting as the alkaline. Since the mid 1800's Baking Powder is very similar as we know it...
