It's simple. I've got two college degrees. One in chemistry, and one in biology.

I've worked in the food ingredient industry for 30+ years. All of the ingredients I sold were functional ingredients. Such as modified food starches. We had about 150 that were used for a variety of applications. One might gel at 50…

Sorry, but you're changing what the author says. Put in twice the sugar, and shake for twice as long and viola.

The link that you have given is irrelevant to what the author has said.

At NO point does she say that she gets a little undissolved sugar no matter how long she shakes. Those are YOUR words.

And NO, it is…

From the beginning of the article. "But if you don't have a heat source readily available . . ."

The end of the article. "another variation of simple syrup that's two parts sugar to one part water — will also work if you double the shaking time to about 4 minutes. When making rich simple syrup, the sugar granules won't…

Shaking can NOT compensate for the lower temperature. It doesn't make any difference how long you shake the jar. You can gently stir the solution for a minute, or two and get the same result.

Apparently you can't make the connection. The remarks ARE relevant to the article.

Financial security and Texas?

Texas has one of the highest number of people earning the minimum wage in the country.
According to The Commonwealth's Health Scorecard, Texas ranks in the bottom 1/4th of the country when it comes to healthcare.

So out of 5, Texas either ranks at the bottom, or near the bottom for 2 of…

Sorry, but I don't care how much you shake it, you can't change the simple laws of physics and chemistry.

For any solid that is soluble in a particular liquid, the liquid will only hold a specific amount of that solid at any given temperature. You get to points where you are doing what is known as super saturating the…

Make sure that SOMEONE knows your master password.

My business partner passed away Thanksgiving 2013.

He had his computer, all the business programs, website, telephone, and lots of other things locked with passwords.

When he died, no one could get into anything for quite a while. It was a disaster for his family and…

#1 - Don't remember if it was last year, or 2013, but Turner got into a fight with CBS. Now if you were CBS, wouldn't you do everything in your power to find an alternative to Turner to get your station transmitted.
#2 - Most of the majors don't own the stations. They provide broadcasting for a fee to local owners.
#3…

My kid gets the measles, even though they've been vaccinated (NO vaccine is ever 100% effective and babies can't have the vaccine) and has ONE adverse effect and my solution is simple.

I'm going to sue YOU for everything that you own.

147,000 deaths from measles in 2013, so don't tell me that kids in the US haven't died…

I work in the food industry, I have a degree in chemistry and I am an avid cook.

- I DO have a scale.
- What the article doesn't mention is not all one cups of flour weigh the same. Flour can hold varying amounts of water. Similarly, things can be affected by temperature. A cup of water at 33 degrees F would overflow if…

I'm a recruiter in the food ingredient industry. (10 years plus 25 years in sales and sales management)

Job HOPPING is the issue, not just how long you've been at a job. That being said, if you're leaving a company and have been there less than 18 months you should be able to explain why.

For those who are unemployed.…

You don't always WANT pans without a non-stick surface. It's called caramelization and fond.

When you cook some things, say meat where you are going to make a sauce. You WANT all those bits to stay in the pan. That's where you get the flavor for the sauce from. It's why you'll brown meat and then take it out when you…

I'm a recruiter in the food ingredient industry. This entire "intern"

Even migrant farmers get paid.

"Interns" should be eliminated and "interns" should be paid at least the minimum wage.

Missed one.

Admit defeat.

Can't tell you the number of times I've seen people (I live in a Chicago suburb) make the situation SIGNIFICANTLY worse by continuing to try to get their car out of the snow.

There's a reason why tow trucks were invented.

Something that I'm extremely sensitive to is animal abuse. Can't tell you the number of times when people start FB pages promoting dog fighting with extremely graphic photos. It's taken months to get FB to take those down. Maybe last year, there was a picture of a woman with tattoos where her breasts had been removed…

I work in the food ingredient industry. I always find the "new" studies that come out saying that something is good for you, or bad for you. Start with coffee.

Can't remember how long ago it happened. Parents who were found guilty of murdering their child. They had given the kid inordinate amounts of salt, including…

SERVING SIZE!

Although they've gotten better, many, many processed food have serving sizes that are totally ridiculous. So if you just quickly look at the calories alone, you can easily be getting twice the actual calories that you think you're getting.

If you truly wanted to be precise, you'd carry a scale around with…

Okay. So what about those of us who don't want to buy these gloves and has a bank where the ATM with a touch screen is outside and in the Chicago area?

I want to simply bust the thing.

Thanks. I'll try it.
