If the Rover is a leased vehicle, the remedy is obvious: Assume the cost is $400 per month for a three year lease with 36,000 miles. Each month permits 1,000 miles for $400, or $0.40 per mile. That means $170 was the cost to the owner. Allow $20 for the dealer to “road test” the car, meaning they owe about $150 (plus…

I do this with a bit of Better than Bouillon. This amps up the beffiness for a combined umami punch

Carrageenan is what keeps the chocolate from separating from the milk in your cocoa moo. It’s also the healthiest of all ingredients you can get at McDonalds.  

I would like to try this recipe, or at least incorporate some of the lessons in my go-to onion soup. Might I suggest a mix of onions? You will get a depth of flavor you would not otherwise experience. I would also include shallot.

This is the process. I always remember that the skin is designed to keep outside stuff from getting in. Putting the seasoning under the skin solves this problem.

Still using Lucas electrical systems?

In his excellent book, “Outliers”, Malcolm Gladwell explains exactly this principle: “Plane crashes rarely happen in real life the same way they happen in the movies. Some engine part does not explode in a fiery bang. The rudder doesn’t suddenly snap under the force of takeoff. The captain doesn’t gasp, ‘Dear God,’ as…

I don’t know why, but mashed potatoes come out so much more fluffy and delicious out of the stand mixer. I rarely eat them, but I can’t imagine using anything else for this task.

I agree Shep, it’s not a pressing problem. I won’t be hanging to find out though; I need a belt, but like many I’ll be dealing with this one leg at a time.

Interestingly, if this is prevented from moving forward by the courts or whomever, Trump pulls out an amazing win; he fights hard for his “base” yet the wall doesn’t get built. If he planned it that way it’s a huge coup (he didn’t).

I’d used Turbo Tax many times, and one year I owed over $900. No matter how I changed the numbers, I couldn’t get the needle to move much. A friend pointed out that TT is a bookkeeping program - that is all. A human CPA is more of an artist. In other words, there are many ways to show income and loss. Based on this…

Some supermarkets (Wegmans, for example) offer apps that do this for you. Load your list and it will group the items by isle. Full disclosure: I’ve never used any of them so I don’t know if they are any good.

There are plenty, but here’s a good one: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2018/04/26/for-many-taxpayers-tax-reform-means-no-more-home-office-deduction/#2fda34a6995e The home office deduction still exists, but not for employees.

Yea for you. The majority of Americans did not get any pay bump. Most companies simply enjoyed the bump all by themselves.

Maybe they use extra large eggs?

Hi Claire! I have used this method with great results. I’ve also used a similar version where you cover, turn off the heat and serve 3 - 4 minutes later. This version lets you walk away and do some other morning task without having to mind the stove. I believe I read it on Lifehacker: https://skillet.lifehacker.com/thi…

Holy carp! I thought we were discussing organizing spices. I get your point, but you might consider toning down the “Racist!” moniker. Some folks will shut down and ignore someone who opens with being called a racist. I suggest something like “Eastern culture sometimes sees things differently from the West, one should…

No need to make this so difficult; I keep my dirty sports clothes in a laundry bag with a dryer sheet in it. The odors are killed and you wash the bag with the clothes - easy peasy.

It’s been a while since mine were little, but here is a solution recommended to us and we loved it: BITE THEM! No risk of hurting their fingers, requires no equipment and it is a fun game. Sounds weird until you do it.
