Byron Donalds is such a poor choice for tokenism. He’s pretty sure he’s white.

Cooking chicken may take care of germs, but it won’t remove dirt. I wash the chicken in a pot so I don’t spray around the kitchen. When they do those studies, the run the water at full force - yeah, it sprays when you do that.

I may try to see if I can do this in an angel food pan. Sounds great.

That might be enough to drag me to Trader Joe’s.  

Bladeless only means no visible blades. How do you think the air gets pulled into the fan and blown out?...small blades inside the fan.  Research before writing.

Turkey pastrami is delicious, but they have to wipe the machine after slicing, so I always order at least a pound.

Not to the lawyers managing the suit. They will get more than 15 cents. A $3 million lawsuit is basically front-pocket money to ConAgra. They lose or use that much regularly in manufacturing errors and waste. A truck recently overturned with 1300 gallons of cooking oil. Maybe not ConAgra, but stuff happens. The…

“...it’s hard to tell if it is just wet or ice...” also applies to sidewalks and steps as I found out by sailing off the top step and landing on the sidewalk 5 steps below.  That was coved by black ice as well.

I took your idea of the grilled cheese on a sheet pan one more step and made it into mini-Reuben sandwiches. A little tedious, but a big hit. I usually break off a cracker or dislodge a cheeseball, so that’s a poor choice for clumsy me. 

“...the closure you’re seeking must be something you give to yourself...” Don’t expect/require the person who hurt you to be a part of the healing process.

A lot of these ideas come from kids or young adults with little to no life experience. They don’t know enough to realize that the active ingredient in the peanut butter is oil and there are many other oils available. They haven’t learned that synthetic sponges can burn if heated too high. It’s dangerous out there,…

We recently had a hurricane in SW FL and people criticized us for living here, but counting 4 hurricanes we’ve had 8 or so really bad weather days in the 26 years I’ve been here. YOLO. There was some overnight frost about 18 years ago, so...

I’d kill for that.

Because I am bone lazy, I use a peeler to get some lemon skin and put it in a small food processor with some sugar, and give it a ride.  You can lemon-ize a fair amount of sugar with not too much lemon peel that way.

A 3-day work week is great in a place that’s only open 6 days.

Another reason for me to keep my rarely-used mandolin.  

Bought an el-cheapo mandolin on late night tv back in the 1970's Always planned to replace it with a “good” machine when this one dies, but since I use it around 3 or 4 times a year, it will outlast me. It was definitely worth the $7 I paid for it.

“chemicals used as scent in laundry products can cause asthma attacks and migraines, as well as eye, skin, and throat irritation...”

Just be aware that the green scrubbing pad can scratch many otherwise hard surfaces. A blue pad also works but won’t scratch.  I have scratch glass with a  green scrubby pad.

I am not offended by a basket to TJ MAxx or Costco; there will something in there that I have never had before, and I like the sample-sized things so I’m not stuck with a lot of something I don’t like. Someone who doesn’t know a lot about foods but likes me might give me a basket and I’d be very thankful for their…
