Crock Pots are a beast unto themselves. For any 'soak overnight' bean, simply put in a regular pot, bring to a boil, then pour into your crock with ham, salt, flavorings, whatever. In 5-6 hours, depending on the bean, they are flavored, tender and ready-to-eat.

Interesting article. Many years ago, my wife and I had this same epiphany when her family 'expected' us to travel almost 2,000 miles for 'family holiday time'. I simply asked her, 'instead of bankrupting us, would your family do the same and come here at our demands?' Though close to her family, she turned the…

Actually, if you take Engineering Law in college (a singular class, normally given to graduate Engineers and Lawyers finishing a specialty in engineering or architecture), you learn that most contracts, if extreme, are rather easily broken in court later. I actually was involved in a case where the employer had a…

Been trying to apply all of these tenants to Climate Change, but no matter how much you ask for supporters to 'just shut up and show me your data with validation of its source', you get some SERIOUS hokum-pokum about this and that expert, but strangely, NO ONE HAS THE ACTUAL GREEN-BAR-DATA that can actually be…
If this really worked, most 'conspiracists' would be seen as 'investigatively sane' and most 'mainstream people' would be realized for the absolute detached rocks that they are. Come on, really, from 9/11 to 'Cloud Security' to NSA following the Law, and so much more. Most people couldn't tell you that Shrek really…
FORGET wax on clothes. The only thing wax belongs on is leather and canvas footwear. If you want BREATHEABLE waterproofing, use a silicone spray. WD40 works, but so does scotchguard and many other ones. Even sprayable PAM cooking spray (pure canola oil) will waterproof clothes, without sealing the pores.
This parable of time management goes to show, that you can do 8-things half-assed in about as much time as you can do one thing completely. THIS is the lesson learned from the 'known-for-years' concept of multi-tasking. This is also where the mayo jar lesson first came from. In the end, you end up with a bunch of…
I wholeheartedly agree with a communicable diseases check, possibly so simple as a 'hooker card' for weekly checks. SURELY NY could pull that off (state law, no updated card, NO FIGHTING, period)? As for someone stepping into a ring after the doctor told them not to fight for a month, or a year, or whatever; or even…
Funny, the best products in the world, from wine to forged axes are hand-made still. Meanwhile, comments like 'machines will always beat manual labor' still abound. FYI, this is 100-year old knowledge, and was the ONLY way my family prepared tomato puree. BTW, it's called a 'food press', if you actually use the right…
Wikipedia is living proof that revisionist history is alive and well, too. When you have literal 'wars' over 'what really occurred', then you have an obvious problem. Every significant article on Wiki is a 'he said-she said' war. Who wins? Reference that power-statement that opens the article.
Fully agreed. 'The Cloud' is another one of those 'hula hoops' that I said when it started, 'would come to no good', and sure enough, the NSA proved me right. Why do I need the cloud, when I can buy a $100 500-Gb drive to do far more with, in much greater privacy? You know the old adage about 'what you get for…
Take fresh cornbread (without sugar in it, like Southerners used to make it), crumble into a large glass. Now, pour cold fresh buttermilk over it. Get a tablespoon, and enjoy! Your buttermilk will be gone in NO TIME! (as will your diet goals!)
Make cornbread (without sugar in the recipe, as Southerners used to make it), then take a glass, fill with crumbled cornbread, and then pour over it cold, fresh buttermilk. Take a tablespoon and eat! You will down far more buttermilk and cornbread than is good for your diet!
Tristan, I'm exceedingly disappointed in that government response that is 2 generations removed from this article, bashing baking soda. In reality, baking soda is a salt, and therefore will absorb nearly ALL water vapor in an enclosed area, better than charcoal can. THIS is why it can capture odors in a refrigerator,…
This isn't rocket science, actually. FYI, 2-liter sodas (or those highly illegal 20-oz sodas that NYC banned because communism is such a good thing for the hive drones) work under the same principle - larger volumes mean less cost per unit. HINT: the packaging is 72-percent of the product cost, so product is cheaper…
timgray, if I want to eat ice cream in the nude in November while sitting in my private back yard, this is MY business. Another troll making more 'THEY should NOT' rules is the LAST thing this nation needs. We have enough uninformed tyrannical leaders already.
Wow, next time, actually 'explain' the 1/10th rule. In the case of a $42k salaried person, they would ideally spend no more than 1/10th of their income, PER YEAR, on their car - so they could buy a car on a 5-year note, where the monthly payments were $350. With a sufficient down, this could easily include 1/2-ton…
