    Every time after watching this movie, I get confirmation that old movies always make you think and give you a kind of spiritual uplift.

    What's the last movie you watched?

    I didn't like it. Overall, the movie is kind of gloomy, there's no real suspense - which is typical of good thrillers. The ending of the movie is meh.

    What's the affect of flour hydration on overall hydration in pizza dough?

    If you want a chewier dough, you can bump up the hydration percentage to 64%, like you mentioned. That'll add more moisture to the dough and help you get the texture you're after. Just be careful not to add too much water, or you'll end up with a dough that's too sticky or a pain to work with.

    Are my shrimp ok

    If the shrimp were in good condition before freezing and were properly packaged, it can significantly extend their shelf life. However, during prolonged storage, shrimp may lose their juiciness and become more rigid.

    Why does sunflower oil turn green after frying?

    These ingredients have pigments that can get absorbed into the oil, giving it a greenish tint. In that case, the oil changing color is totally normal and nothing to worry about.

    Can eat pickled garlic after expiry time?

    When trying to open a can or package, take a look at the garlic's consistency. If it's too soft, mushy, or has an unusual texture, that could be a sign that it's gone bad and you shouldn't eat it.

    Quick question about growing Tomatillos

    Sure, you can bury the tomatillo stems deeper to encourage the formation of additional roots. This process is called trenching tomatillos. With deep planting, tomatillos will root along the stem, promoting a stronger and more resilient plant.

    Recommend me uses for rice flour!

    You can use regular rice flour for breading meat, fish, or vegetables before frying. It gives them a crispy texture and is also used in homemade facial masks. It can help soften, cleanse, and brighten the skin

    A chip can break the seal of the lid so I would recommend replacing the stove cover.

    In fact, it's a really useful thing that for some reason many people don't buy.

    Cooking spray alternatives and how to clean ruined CorningWare?

    You can try using a brush to apply oil or vegetable oil spray. As for adding canola oil to the sprayer, you can give it a try, but make sure to check if the sprayer is suitable for such use
