I cook them on energy level 2 or so for a longer time and they concentrate nicely. If you cook them on high, they will tend to stew.

Is that powdered cheese any good sprinkled on broccoli or cauliflower, or do you have to make a roux?

Where do zebras fall into this discussion.

As an occasional stutterer, it is my belief that Obama suffers from this as well, but to a lesser degree. Could that happen to a biracial child who also lived as an outside in a foreign country? So many stressors.  Maybe... He has mastered the art of not saying, “Uh”, but his pauses are legendary.

Does anybody make a non-stick rack? I’d use that for bacon, chicken chops, etc.  My experience with metal racks is that they begin to get rust spots in a around year.

We found that a dab of ammonia mostly neutralizes bee stings. If you’re working on a project and bees, wasps, etc are a concern, it might be prudent to have a small bottle with some ammonia in it handy.  Just takes a few drops on a napkin.

And you can take individual leaves off for making sandwiches. If you have to make about 100 sandwiches some day, you’ll smash a head of lettuce because who had time to fool with it.

Generally you can pull the right margin of your screen toward the left and it will force the slideshow into one column you can scroll.  That probably won’t last for long.

Mac ‘n cheese is a glorious thing, but Velveeta cheesy grits makes you want to put your face in it. I use a little pimento cheese because we were desperate one time and it turns out we like it that way.

Dawn will take almost anything out of a pan, but you just need to give it a few minutes to work. I put a glug of Dawn into the pot and fill it with hot water  (most detergents are inert below 72 degrees) and let it sit for 15 minutes. Scrub with one of those plastic mesh thingys and then rinse.

In my community there are people from 75 to 102 years old. We worry constantly about people decided to hop in the car and speed off.  If we see someone who seems to have forgotten which side of the road is best, or decided that stop signs are no longer relevant, we notify the local cops and I guess they keep an eye…

Gee, both of them had masks on.  I wouldn’t be able to identify them. 

I’m pretty sure we could find someone to criticize you and say, “no pain, no gain”, and “you can just work your way through it and you’ll feel great”, and also you need to drink some special thing and you’ll be ok.

“... For each diagnosed condition,”... Is that per benefit period, per annual period, or per lifetime? There’s a huge difference. Some insurance companies have a reset if you haven’t had any treatment for an illness for a specific period of time, like 45 days. Isn’t there a risk that the HCS might not be able to…

Especially for people on some diets, that little bit of fat tells the body that you’ve had enough to eat. Probably something atavistic; plain chicken soup is nice stuff, but chicken soup with a little fat on the top is satisfying.

“This is the first time alcohol has triggered what I now understand to be an allergic reaction”... probably not the alcohol but the agave plant which is the source of the tequila. Be glad you didn’t go into anaphylactic shock and it sound like you were pretty close. Are you sensitive to aloe vera - a botanical…

“I boycotted Charles and Diana’s wedding. I was 17.”  That would explain the total lack of attention given to the event.  Isn’t the power of the boycott amazing?

No, that’s the first step to avoid the flu. Wear a mask and wash your hands and keep your hands off your face.

Start with a pressure cooker. I’d say you could steam the hell out of them and then condense the liquid which you would add to condensed milk. It won’t as dense as the stuff Claire described because you’d have so much less starch..

Didn’t some of those minerals come from the water with which the vinegar was made?  People have been touting a specific brand of ACV which had “mother” growing in it for weight loss and also allergy (make up your mind!).  The company that produces that vinegar has all sort of “studies” out on the internet supporting…
