How is that better than a broom and dust pan? And there is the bending down as well.

This is known as Russian buttercream. https://www.cupcakeproject.com/condensed-milk-buttercream/

A flat grater and a citrus press. The flat grater fits onto most bowls and is so easy to use without grating knuckles or getting shreds of zest all over the place. Plus it is grate for fresh ginger. The citrus press is fast, strains out seeds in a jiffy, and easy to clean.

Have you tried any of the vegan sour creams? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-64370570?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA

You will waste one paper towel per use. Much better to get a microwave plate cover for ~$10 at Amazon or ~$1 at your local dollar store. Lasts indefinitely.

Um it’s vanilla “bean” vinaigrette, not extract. https://tinyurl.com/y579kp5h

I come from a less privileged background than most of your users. My oldest sister died of starvation in a Russian labour camp during WWII. I routinely grind spices with my coffee (actually a bit before if they are harder than coffee beans) e.g. cardamom, cloves, star anise (my current fave), coriander etc. If I use…

Your post is an example of an a priori logical fallacy. You believe that video games are “bad” for people, so you “explain” away any benefits of playing them. Many previous studies have shown benefits for playing video games. https://tinyurl.com/y6djafk5

Paper first aid tape applied to the top edge of the mask and across the bridge of the nose works perfectly for me. This tape has a weak adhesive and does not irritate the skin when removed. It also leaves no adhesive residue. POD I have eczema and am always cautious as my skin is easily irritated.

You can also use a lacrosse(or other hard rubber ball) to achieve much of the same effect. Just “trap” the ball between the tense body part and a wall or floor. Then wriggle your tension away.  POD I use a tennis ball in a sock pinned to my night shirt to prevent sleep apnea episodes (verified by polysomnogram and…

There is no perfect cup of coffee. There is only the experience of coffee. This can include music; reading; food that complements, but does not conflict with, the taste of coffee; indoor and outdoor settings; and general mood. I like to make loaded coffee. I grind various combinations of whole spices - green or black…

Fitness class participants should wear masks - there are ones made specifically for exercising- regardless of the organisation’s policy. Also all participants should use earphones with a microphone. This would eliminated the need for loud music and the loud talking to be heard over the music. Loud talking/singing is…

Why don’t you try custom orthotics? They may be covered by your health plan. I have tried many insoles, but never got as good comfort and support as I did from orthotics.

If you have eczema or other hypersensitive skin condition be careful. Try to get mineral sunscreens. Also when trying a new brand, use it on only a small spot for one day. That way if you have a reaction, it won’t be a major hassle. Speaking from experience, the whole OTC industry seems driven by marketing and not…

I recently participated in a virtual meditation group via ZOOM. When asked to report my experience of the meditation, I pointed out that I had very present with my breath, so much that I forgot the chickpeas simmering on the stove. They boiled dry and began to burn. My city fire department has $1,000 fine for fire…

Use ghee; it is clarified butter. Not only is the water evaporated but the long cooking adds more flavour. Plus it has a higher smoke point i.e. you can heat it to a higher temperature without it burning. To top it off it requires no refrigeration. No wonder it is a sacred symbol of nourishment.

Remember that hot food has more flavour/aroma that room temperature food. If you place your favourite(Canuck spelling) PB combo on a pita, pop it in the microwave and then roll it up like a burrito - a mere sandwich becomes a divine “freshly baked” pastry.

Tofu works really well. Drain it first. Then pop in the food processor. Pulse and add your oil, vinegar etc. I have found that all the types of mayo work. It won’t keep as long as regular mayo, but should be fine for a week in the fridge. Very forgiving with different amounts of oil to tofu. Really smooth texture. Has…

I began to get upset if I noticed any potential system of COVID-19 e.g. a cough, tickle in my throat, a bit of congestion in my nose(rarely a symptom of COVID-19, but what if it was?), etc. I began to pay almost constant attention to my body. I noticed that mild headaches, abdominal discomfort, difficulty…

I was not aware of noted(in the key of Confit?) duck fat enthusiasts until you mentioned it. Thank you for broadening my cultural horizons.
