Or if you have a basement, leaving the door open while the whole house fan is on will pull up cool air from the basement into the house. Even a box fan at the top of the basement stairs can help a bit.

Often the space between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling is a soffit, which is total waste of space. Stupidest idea ever!

brb, getting some mothballs to put in there with the cash.

But if the enclosure is too small they will hesitate to go in there, I guess because they are afraid of getting trapped.

You should be hoping for more predators to keep the deer away!

I’m going to die with a couple of hundred unread books an a huge Amazon wishist. I’ve resigned myself. 

I just throw any dairy ingredients I want to use up into pancakes or a quiche or cornbread. Milk past its prime, sour cream, ricotta, cottage cheese, yogurt, you can make a recipe work with any of them. Or freeze them until you have time to cook. 

The dehydrated onion powder is a big thing in Yemeni cooking. It’s dark brown, and it’s used as a base for making soup or gravy. If you’re making a meat soup, you would start sauteeing fresh onions, garlic, or whatever you’re using first, and then sprinkle on the powder and let it cook for a minute before adding…

I remember my grandmother used to make me fried eggs with that brown crispy crust, so that was how she did it! Good to know if I ever have to use an electric induction stove.

I wish Lifehacker would get on board with native plants. Plants imported from the other side of the world do nothing to stave off the insect apocalypse which is happening right now, and are often invasive and actually harmful. I recommend getting plants that are local to your part of the country, and read Doug…

Yes, this definitely works. I’ve never paid the standard rate for Sirius XM.

Yes, it still does chime and turn red on the backup camera

That’s functional but kind of ugly!

Actually, I consider directing all my spam calls to the landline a plus. I always keep the ringer off. If I have to give out my number to someplace where I suspect it might end up on a call list, or get robocalled, I’d rather share my landline number, and save the cell phone number for personal calls. For instance …

The rear AEB has saved me from a couple of accidents-once backing out of a parking spot, when a UPS van had suddenly zipped up and stopped behind me, as they do, almost invisible because of the dark brown. However it is oversensitive and often brakes when I’m backing down my somewhat steep driveway. I guess the camera…

It was another German, Friedrich Von Schiller, who said “Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain”)

I just looked it up, and according to the Cleveland Clinic, mackerel from Alaska is OK, but mackerel from the Western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Spanish mackerel is high in mercury. 

Bon Appetit rated the apricot #1, but they’re ALL so good, the wild blueberry, the raspberry, omg the lemon curd. 

You’re the first person I’ve seen besides me who grows saffron! It’s so fun and easy, isn’t it? And people are so impressed. 

I love them! I use then to store things I have a tiny amount of, like saffron.  But I’m thinking they would also be great travel containers for pills, or for small earrings.
