The cheapest I've seen is $1.39 in SE Houston.

^^See, that's what I thought about the whole "fully hyrdrogenated" thing. If they really made the effort to fully hydrogenate the fats, it would only contain *trace* amounts of trans fats that would be insignificant for anyone.

Huh, I just assumed they completely hydrogenated the fats to make it 100% saturated fat. That's what lets you keep it unrefrigerated as opposed to home-rendered fat which contains a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats that go rancid. Trans fats are partially saturated so if Crisco is all...

I'm still waiting for the pecans to drop.

Even if you do make it through the storm, you have to deal with days and days of no electricity (ie, no AC) and no safe water. It's just not fun.

You're still the one, haha

I know, my parents live in Friendswood where I grew up and they were under a mandatory evacuation. I can't believe how flooded everything is already....it hasn't even started raining really. It's so nice to have channell 11's live coverage online (at News Video On Demand | KHOU.com | News for...

It's in the 80's breezy and humid right now. But here's our forcast for Friday: "Hurricane conditions expected. Showers and thunderstorms. Lows around 80. Inland...northeast winds 50 to 65 mph with gusts to around 85 mph in the evening becoming northwest and increasing to 60 to 80 mph with...

I love country music. Although I hate what it's become...there's too much pop mixed in nowadays. Which is ironic because I went to country after all the pop radio stations went to hip-hop/rap/R&B. I mostly listen to the musicians I heard growing up like Alan Jackson, Mark Chesnutt and Tracy...

How does that saying go "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day...."

It must be love-Alan Jackson

There's a lot of famous place names in Texas like Moscow, Palestine, Athens, Egypt, Paris.... I thought Sugarland and Tiki Island were funny names until I read all of ya'lls. My uncle has a ranch in Bigfoot.

My mom didn't cook much when we were growing up. I remember a lot of Chef Boyardee and frozen pizzas, haha. But with the advent of better cooking shows and with us being older, she starting cooking a lot more. That was at the same time I started cooking so I guess we learned together...

Eggs are supposed to be a good source of omega-3's. Not as good as fish though.

I'm 21 and in a similar situation. I actually LOST a few pounds coming to college. I heard you should avoid too much cardio and focus on weight training. Also I've been eating larger portions of meat with the usual portions of veggies.

It finally rained in Austin today, first time in what feels like over a month. Thanks hurricane Dolly!!! (hope everyone down south is keeping safe!)

If they don't appear to be harming the plant then I wouldn't bother doing anything. They'll probably go away on their own. You could try letting the soil go a little dry btwn waterings (thyme likes that anyway) to discourage reproduction.

My friend found a baby tarantula in a bag of salad I bought him from a local farm. The kicker is he didn't find it until he was in the middle of eating the salad! I was disappointed he didn't save it for me, after all I payed for it.

There's a product called Milky Spore composed of a bacteria which is a pathogen to the beetle larvae. Here's a link: Milky Spore Also, Sevin dust is pretty non-toxic to animals but will kill all bugs harmful or beneficial (especially bees) but if you're careful with it, it works like a charm...

Sometimes I find discoloration on meat I just bought from (a reputable) store, as if areas of it have been cooked already. I see it especially in ground beef. An hunk of the meat will be grey as if it were zapped in a microwave. Sometimes the insides of a steak will be that way and I've...

I found epazote at a latino grocery store today. I don't think I could ever eat the stuff, it really stinks! Maybe when it's cooked in with everything else...

We sell it at the nursery I work at. Or at least I thought we did until I looked up pictures of it online, cause what we have called epazote is very different. It has tiny scale-like leaves like a juniper. Might be a different species, but it does have a weird gasoline or petroleum smell to...

I've never been good at starting seeds in pots to be transplanted later. I find it easier to plant lots of seeds directly in the ground, then thin out the extras. My guess is they're probably not getting enough sun. A few hours filtered through window glass isn't enough for plants that are...
