Well. I like baking, but I have to go the gluten free route. Any tips on a good pie crust / technique? I know many gluten free breads need much more hydration than a typical gluten dough. I have been able to come up with a good cheesecake and popovers, but a good pie crust eludes me. I can do the store bought crumb…

Bottle deposit bills are a tax. The legislature wants to know what their tax collection rate is, and don't like it when recycling that claims the deposits goes up. Beverage makers don't like it because of extra compliance costs, and consumers reduced spending in deposit states. 

So, is this anywhere near John Stewart Ward for Koalas with Chlamydia?

No, you turn off traction control for donuts. ABS off so you can slide or push the nose around, or finish spinning the tires with style as you rooster tail and slide all four tires as the fronts lock up when you stomp on them. 

Chicken lives a hard life. Billions on this planet, and none of them die of old age.

Donuts in snow in a parking lot. Live a little.

When I was a kid, my dad took apart the dryer to fix the circuit board and check some funny noises. He found socks wrapped around the drum where the belt went around the drum. Yep, socks would catch at a seam where the drum rotated, pull into the join, and get caught up in the belt.
