I am a tubber, so not at all in risk of starving, but dislike and try to avoid much time in the kitchen if possible. I have survival skills, have lived outon my own maybe 15 years or so, not afraid of knives or heat, but simply lazy. I'm too cheep to order out much, and conscientious about the

Around here, the NY/NJ/CT metropolitan area, gourmet pizza is a very common thing. I don't know anyone who prefers the standard Dominos/Pizza Hut like chains, which is good, since we don’t' seem to have any chain other than Blaze. Within one block of work there are four different pizza places

I just forwarded this message to a friend off list, and her reply was interesting: I do all the below, but I also add ice as part of the water when I put the rice into the cooker. It softens it more quickly, something about expanding/contracting molecules due to the cold... Use super-cold tap

And, if you don't feel you have good enough skills to use the instacart app or are finding it tedious, there is always the Gogo Grandparent service. This service was previously known for being a third-party service you could call and they would set up your Oober rides for you if you din't have

Googling, this page is closed, but it seems to imply your book really is only one volume. Maybe the recipe you found outside of the book was from a different source altogether? https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/71247568 -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark

My brother and I bought an investment property a few years ago for my parents to live in, and we've heard nothing but complaints about the status of the apliences since then, as they really are bad, but that is the place they chose, and we are tackling the items from most important, like HVAC

I am considering getting a larger model for my friend, so can't speak about yours for sure, but my coworker looked at the video for the model I'm looking at, and he said that all functions open and food is loaded from the same place, which in the case of pressure cooking and slow cooking, which
