Lol..... I’ve been using this technique for decades. It’s also the way to conserve water while camping and washing dishes. Dawn dish soap works very well on car grease this way, too.

Question.... You said over/under cooked is generally not a good reason but what about a basted egg that comes to the table looking like melted cellophane? An egg that crispy isn’t unsafe but it is virtually inedible.

Citizendefarge, You might want to look up some info on the PPI. They are very dangerous. My suspicion is that those are the real cause. Many people who think they have too much acid production actually have too little acid production. Symptoms are the same for both conditions. The acid in our gut is there to kill…

Consume. It is often used in restaurant grease traps, but it is an enzymatic digestant that actually "eats" the organic matter without damaging upholstery or carpets. Works wonders. 

Actually, a microwave does this fairly easily due to surface tension. Try it. You can heat a cup of water past boiling point and when you disturb the surface it will virtually explode.

As a housekeeper myself, I’m completely happy to help out a bad day. Ask nice, tip nice or offer to swap out a more urgent task and skip a usual task.

No one likes the feeling of being watched, but in today’s world it has become an accepted evil. I am a housekeeper and I have nothing to hide. Therefore, expect cameras everywhere and just get over it.

Dress in layers. There’s really no need for a heavy winter coat. Several light layers allows you to adjust as needed to the 40 degree temperature swings we experience daily.....year round.....

Try storing the cheese grater in the fridge in a ziplock bag. In the cheese drawer

Toss it in the dishwasher or sink of hot soapy water.

Here are my tips:

Actually, hydration is key. Most people don’t realize how quickly they dehydrated in 5% humidity, 40mph breeze and a mile closer to the sun.

Dress in layers. Don’t worry about some big heavy winter coat. Multiple thin to mid-weight layers gives flexibility for the 40 degree temperature swings we experience daily..... Year round.

I LOVE the foam on top of beer. It’s like the best whipped cream minus the dairy.

The fact that it’s getting worse over time, though, could indicate something else. Just a thought. Take care.

Tonic water is full of sugar and calories even though it doesn’t taste like it.

Sounds like you have a trace mineral deficiency. Try taking trace minerals for a few weeks and I bet that water will taste differently.

Doesn’t seem that bad. Winds of 69mph is frequent and normal in my neck of the woods.

Black Friday retailers hate me. I bought work jeans, socks, underwear and a bathmat. Basically, stuff I needed anyway.
