This is where Costco comes into play. I buy a TON of stuff on Amazon, but I always go to Costco for diapers and baby wipes and formula. You just can't beat the prices on their Kirkland brand stuff. Usually it's very good quality as well.

I mostly use canola oil for frying and other cooking, olive oil for a few things that require lower heat, and coconut oil for baking, sauteing, and stir frying. The question is I hear a lot of conflicting reports of what is considered good fats and which ones are bad fats. Saturated fat was all the rage to stay away

Use really long metal tongs. I use the ones that I also use on my charcoal grill.

I've been making fried chicken this way for a long time in a cast iron tall-sided 10" skillet. I don't even use much oil, only about an inch deep, and I flip the chicken half way through cooking to get the other side. Never had a problem with this method and it comes out crispy and perfectly done and juicy on the

The ultralight hikers will love this.

That is one heck of a deal right now, I need a new drill anyway! Ideally I'd like to stick with the same brand so I can use the batteries interchangeably.

Yep that's what I was referring to! Haha! I haven't done it in a while, mostly because modern cases are pretty much good to go right away, but I suppose you could still get pretty crazy with cutting and engraving and just going nuts if you are into that sort of thing :)

Late to the party here. Question. I use Nova Launcher right now. Does anyone combine Themer with Nova Launcher for theming? Or is Themer just a complete launcher replacement? I've seen people use the terms launcher and home scree but not sure if those are just used interchangeably.

Dremel / rotary tools are very popular in the PC case modding scene from back in the day. If you got a cheap desktop ATX case for your PC, it was pretty popular for a while to cut extra holes out for more fans, or mod the front of the case to custom fit a media card reader, the options were limited only by your

If you can find blaze orange hunting clothes for your kids even better! Then they will really stick out from all you guys dressing your kids in pink and yellow :P

I also use the medium size. It fits in my mug perfectly.

Expensive and not very portable, but it looks like a great at-home brewing method. I'll have to check it out. I use the Finum brewing basket. Same principle, it allows the leaves to fully expand for best expansion, but it's small enough to throw in my bag and take it with me to work.

This thing actually looks pretty decent. All the one's I've used have been cheap with broad heads on them that makes writing with them about as useful as writing on a tablet with a sausage. Give me fine point.

So, a lot like making charcloth! This is exactly how commercially available charcoal is made for grilling. The good lump charcoal, not those crap briquettes stuffed with chemicals. Like you said, that charcoal you can buy in bags will definitely not be good to ingest.

There are also many states with restrictions on water collection, including Utah which only allows the use of no more than two rain barrels. http://www.ncsl.org/research/envir…

This is good advise from you once again. I didn't know about the not filtering water with charcoal from firewood. I've always seen the "survival experts" crush charcoal and put it in a t shirt to use to filter water. I guess that charcoal is totally different from "activated" charcoal like you stated. You learn

Out of all the websites they listed here it seems that Adagio has some of the best prices. I get a lot from Amazon as well and our local co-op has Rishi loose leaf which is a great price compared to Teavana.

+1 for the Finum brewing basket. I think I found a previous LH article that mentioned it and I went to Amazon and ordered it. Been using it for probably 6 months now.
