Good info. And now for the rest of the evening, let’s sing. “United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...”

I had this epiphany just recently. While walking at the park in my neighborhood, I became totally mesmerized by a 13-ish year old who was roller skating. I loved to skate as a kid, on old school skates, not roller blades. My new pair arrives this week.

Roux is fat and flour. Do you mean you added almond milk to the roux to try to make a cream sauce?

No kidding, the first 3 Outlander novels were such a whirlwind that 4 and 5 were real slogs in comparison. Fiery Cross almost did me in.

Be careful. If you burn the roux, the microwave will smell like burnt flour for the rest of time. My (very Cajun) mother burnt her microwave roux once, and after 2 weeks of trying every cleaning method possible, she bought a new microwave.

And now we know why they make users who cancel the service wait 9 months to be eligible again. They don’t want their 9.95 users to cancel and resubscribe for 7.95

You can cancel on the app, and when you do it pops up a warning that you won’t be able to sign up again for 9 months. You have to OK the warning before you can confirm the cancellation.

Even being in a humid climate isn’t that helpful this year *she types, huddled under a blanket, hiding from the hard freeze descending on the New Orleans area and the rest of the South, rubbing her poor knuckles.* Using Aquaphor aon my hands at night has helped a lot.

There was a Bacon, Apple, and Sweet Potato Hash recipe on Trader Joe’s website that I loved. The recipe has been taken down, but the gist of it was: crisp some bacon, add in diced onion, cubed sweet potato and cubed apple, season with salt and pepper, sauté until everything is tender. Stir in a little maple syrup and…

On my instant pot, pressing the Keep Warm button once the cooking program has started turns off the automatic flip to keep warm. The keep warm button has a light, so you can see if the feature is turned on. YMMV, since every model is different. I have the 3 quart mini.

They are $18.74 now. But when I clicked on them earlier, they were unavailable asking if I would like to be emailed when they came back into stock. Apparently, that happened quickly.

The squatty potty is sold out. Both heights.

It’s because we’re using all cocoa powder. Cocoa powder and fat are a substitute for baking chocolate, allowing us to create a brownie with staple ingredients. My tub of Hershey’s says 3 tablespoons of cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of fat equals one ounce of baking chocolate. The recipe calls for 14 tablespoons of cocoa…

Mapquest provided this option back in the day, when we had to look up (and maybe even print out) directions before leaving the house because we didn’t have devices that could give us directions on the go yet.

It does ask you to put in a number of servings at the beginning. It also allows you to adjust that number of servings before you save, or go back and edit it after it is saved.

I don’t understand your issue with the MFP recipe calculator. You tell it how many servings the recipe makes. You enter the ingredients. It defaults to one serving of an entered ingredient, but you can change the measuring unit and the amount. Then it calculates and saves your info.

I love making protein iced coffee. 8 oz almond milk, a shot of Cool Brew, and a scoop of protein powder makes for a filling pick me up.

Even easier - boil the rice. Rinse the rice, put it in a pot, and add plenty of water. You’re treating the rice like pasta at first. Season it to your liking, bring it to a boil, and boil until it is just underdone. I find white rice is at that point after 7-10 minutes, brown 35-40 minutes. Pour the rice into a…
