I'm glad to hear that she's doing well.

I'm a master gardener volunteer. My husband and I enjoy raising herbs and vegetables, as well as flowers - not on the scale of @blissful , @larry_stewart and @pepperhead212 ,but enough to make it worthwhile. I also enjoy reading, especially historical fiction, and studying food history and...

The Peter Principle is a real thing. It says that in general, people will be promoted to the level of their incompetence lol

I hadn't thought of that, but the Asian supermarkets here have a lot of live fish. They might have crawfish, too.

SLoB, the difference is that Japan is an ally - and has been for decades - while China is not. China is using state power to undercut our economy to benefit its own. Japan was borrowing technology to recover from the devastation of WWII. And Japan doesn't use forced labor.

Again, it's not about you and your choices. It's about the business model.

This applies more to clothes than home goods, but I just will not contribute to a company that I'm pretty sure is responsible for a lot of this: Don't take this personally, because it's not about you or anyone in particular, but super-cheap prices encourage many people to buy more than they...

Chimney Starter 101 from Weber - check it out.

It surprised me at first, so I looked it up. It's funny that they haven't changed the name since adding all those items that aren't car-related. Years ago, Walmart just carried groceries. As the built bigger stores and started carrying clothes, electronics, etc., they called them Walmart...

I refuse to support Temu. It's incredibly cheap, incredibly wasteful Chinese junk.

Powdered sugar doesn't work the same as granulated sugar, which holds on to moisture. Try it again with the correct ingredients. Use very ripe strawberries for the best flavor.

If he's only using it for cornbread, Baker's Joy baking spray might be a better choice.

So, worth watching?

My husband keeps buying a fresh ravioli that's stuffed with chicken Parmesan lol There's probably a beef one, though. Thanks!

Sounds wonderful. I need to try making pasta one of these days.

Taxy, all I can do is offer virtual hugs. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

That sounds interesting. What are the ingredients? Can you describe how you make it?

My sister, who is four years younger than me, told me she has pretty much stopped cooking and gets snacky stuff from Trader Joe's.

It would be easier for people to identify it if you took it out of the bag 😉

Me too, and DH can't eat anything with a lot of flavor in it right now, which makes it difficult for me to think of things to make that we will both enjoy. I saw this in the Washington Post yesterday. A timely message to simplify what we eat and eat what we have (gift article): How to shop...

I love these 40-minute burger buns. They make good dinner rolls, too. Active dry yeast doesn't need to be activated - you just stir it into the flour with the salt. I keep mine in the freezer but warm water wakes it right up. https://www.food.com/recipe/40-minute-hamburger-buns-183081

FDA Alert Concerning Certain Cinnamon Products Due to Presence of Elevated Levels of Lead

Different companies add different ingredients to differentiate their products from the competition. And sometimes different recipes developed in different countries. There was a big kerfuffle recently when David Chang's company started enforcing the trademarked name "Chile Crunch" as well as the...

Different companies have slightly different ingredients and flavors, but chili crisp and chili crunch are basically the same thing - "Chili crisp is an infused chili oil condiment with crunchy bits, made by simmering chili peppers, onion, garlic and seasonings in oil" (from Chili Pepper Madness).
