Do not try to make your mashed potatoes earlier in the day and keep them warm in the crockpot. Slow cookers, even on the ‘keep warm’ setting, are too hot and will make the potatoes in contact with the crock into a dry, brown, hard mess, and not in the good crunchy way. At worst, the butter and/or cream will all…

IME, several coats of KILLZ is the only thing that’s truly going to solve it, followed by touching up the paint and either doing the full wall or feathering out the edges.

If you have a swimming pool, the pump for the pool can be a huge energy drain. If it has a variable speed controller, it can be programmed to run at a lower speed because it does not require 100% all the time it is on.

Kim Campbell was prime minister of Canada from June 25 to November 4, 1993. That’s another short one.

It’s a pretty reasonable request to have them wipe out dust left inside the oven after running the self-clean cycle (the day before so it’s well cooled).

Any recommendations for ordering SCOBY online? I don’t have any kombucha-brewing friends to give me one.

Jansport backpacks have a lifetime warranty. Buy one for your kid when they start Kindergarten and never have to buy another backpack again for their entire scholastic career.

Is there anywhere other than Ontario where electricity is referred to as “hydro?”

I don’t typically (ever) use burrata, so I definitely don’t have burrata water on hand. I would consider that way more of a specialty ingredient than lactic acid powder.

I know that there are many sources that get endlessly recycled but I was somewhat surprised to not see Cinderella on this list, considering how many ways it has been adapted. It seems like one of the most popular stories to rehash over and over and over.

Yes, this the thing to do with a duck. I’ve been slow roasting them ever since I found hungry mouse’s recipe online. I’ve smoked them, spatchcocked them, and deep fried them, too. There’s really no wrong way with duck, except for being too precious about it. A whole duck is less than $25 and feeds 4 people, so way…

What about deli meat and prepackaged cold cuts? Any guidelines on how long they are good, unopened and after? It can be hard to tell if they are starting to go off. I’ve got 1/3 pack of ham and turkey right now, as I often do, that I’m uncertain if I should toss or chance eating.

Because [insert any holiday, in this case it happens to be...] Halloween is less than 3 months away and if you don’t have everything you need by 6 weeks ahead of time then all the good stuff is gone.

Finally someone explained who she is and what she's famous(?) for.  I've heard or neither her nor much of her work and haven't seen any of it.

Thanks for adding this!  =D The article really seemed incomplete without it.

What's the Westiest plant?  Or the Southiest? Northiest?

I thought Kolaches were the default breakfast in Texas. I wish there was a Kolache Factory franchise in my state!

Can you do a maximum volume & flavor / minimum calorie casserole?

I guess I’m a long-armed freak. 2.56 and 28.0". Do I add or subtract 10% from the distance to correct it?

Not every reader of this site is a millennial or gen z. It would be nice if they would throw a few bones to gen x once in a while.
