I will weigh in. While I hate to say it, I am for banning them as a former bicycle commuter, hit twice because someone couldn't hang up and pay attention.

Pressure cookers rock. Even the jiggly kind!

I worked in the dental industry for twenty five years, a the greater portion of that as a manager of a computer aided diagnostic lab with clients (dentists) throughout the U.S. and Europe.

I make a lot of sushi for company and nigiri is so simple. Rice in one hand forms the "finger", fish in the other, assemble and done. Even cut rolls are best done by hand. The roller is good for shaping and conforming toppings like masago, avocado or sliced fish.

Some things are so simply designed that they are absolute genius. Grid It is one of them. Thanks for the tip!

Shake to clear does work. Just had to shake with more enthusiasm.

Me like! Type in Call Joe Blargh and if Joe in your contact list any.do adds a call button to the task. Very nice. The shake to clear feature doesn't seem to work on my Optimus but no big deal there. Thanks for the tip!

I sure wish they would stop calling that stuff cheese. It ain't cheese. It may have cheese molecules in it but it ain't cheese!

Cleaning products? Nothing compares to Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning stainless or copper cookware not even factoring in elbow grease. Generic cleaners in general aren't a savings if you need to use more because they don't work as well as branded products.

Yep! Firming it up in the freezer beats imparting the taste of cooking spray. Tho, I can not remember the last time I grated cheese. I am faster with a knife than I am with a grater and I never end up with that weird little cheese nub that is too small to grate.

I am retired but I definitely side with the majority here and would opt for shorter days for a simple reason. Coming back from a long vacation always felt like an endless game of catch-up. I needed a vacation to recover from the things that either boiled over to a crisis or went astray while I was gone. Coworkers…

Amen to that!

I'm no chef but I know my way around the kitchen and have cooked for parties of 40-plus more times than I can count. Over the years I have collected a lot of equipment . So much that some stays in the garage until I need it. I may drive a ten year old car, still run XP but I have a small fortune in kitchen gear.

I find it interesting that the asker has had so many problem landlords. I own a rental unit as an investment. I have never lived in it nor is it something I cannot sell in a heartbeat due to its location.

Add sugar and lemon juice to the water... More better corn.

While a roux-leading to a white sauce or gravy isn't a dish it is a skill that should be learned. As Lord Byte mentioned, the combinations are endless and can translate to improve many dishes. Pork chops can rest succulently in gentle cover of mushroom gravy. That can of curry powder can be transformed into a…

Love that! But if I might interject for those in college who freeze at the prospect of talking to girls. I found out at a very early age that girls in America speak English! Talking to girls is the easy part. Finding the right one to talk to is more of a challenge. The good news is discovery is fun!

Bacon fat makes everything better. Yep.. It really does.
