To me, a griddle is a frying surface. Home griddles are often a rectangular pan that sits across two burners on a stove. Some stoves have a griddle in the middle, between the burners. Commercial units are just a large frying surface. Put 'griddle' in the eBay Search and see the variety of thi

AI think your description of 'grill' matches ours (USA) of 'broiler'. The broiler is the top element in an oven, used on high setting. It cooks fast, from the top. We use 'grill' for cooking on a rack over heat (like an outdoor barbecue) and sometimes on a frying surface that has raised ridge

It's been years since I carved a pumpkin. In fact, the last jack-0-lantern I made had the face painted on. And it was taken from my front porch. I was really annoyed because I had grown it myself and it was the only pumpkin the plant produced. This year I have a small commercial scarecrow th

Are you sure you do not have a resident ghost? When that happened at our business, the employees always blamed the ghost. He loved to play tricks on them, taking things then putting them back right in the middle of the work table. And..Yes...We DID have a ghost. It was seen by several people

Sympathies some years ago I broke my wrist. No fun. You can make lace one handed if you work slowly, and only need to cross and twist. No sewings. No tying off. No winding bobbins. If you have a project started that's fairly basic, you can try it. This might be a good time to have a clo

I try to remember my cloth bags but take the plastic if I forget or don't have enough bags with me. There are so many uses for the plastic bags that they are not thrown out. The local free meal programs use them for the 'take out' meals. My church uses them in the summer at the produce table

Tang is a powdered orange drink, supposedly used by space astronauts. I was never fond of it. I would also want to check closely for added sugar since I don't remember it being advertised as 100 percent juice. Speaking of added sugar, I would suspect orange marmalade for that also. Out of c

Well, here goes... I'm not a homemaking master. I have no credentials except many years of dealing with recipes when I'm missing some ingredient. For the topping, the OJ and water equal 3 tablespoons. It's not enough water for normal dilution but I would ignore that. I would use regular OJ (
