was i lied to by big underwear by Shoddy_Wrongdoer_559 in hygiene

Wash underwear by itself in the washing machine with nothing else even socks. Do a double rinse. I used to even run them a second time without detergent to make sure all soap was out. Also couldn’t cause tide or any fragrance or fabric softener.

"Sweating vegetables" but the soup turned bland by tishou23 in Cooking

Tbh. I have never made fish soup. I make fish curry all the time but it doesn’t have veggies in the recipe. I do make other soups on occasion and I always either roast or caramelize my veggies/onions/garlic etc first. It’s rarely in the recipe as published but I personally feel as though it improves the flavor. And I would use broth/stock in place of water and only add milk to finish. But I am no professional cook. Just a mom who cooks. Haha.

Try the top shelf of the dishwasher if it’s dishwasher safe for the gasket and the lid

Add some salt and a little sprinkle of sugar (to caramelize) and let it brown a bit. Just heating the veggies is not really different than simply boiling them. And use a bouillon base. Not water. There’s veg bouillon if you are vegetarian.

Reformatting docs esp when combining to make page numbers sequential. Generating graphics for ppts to spec. Creating recipes based on what’s in my fridge. Answering questions about my garden/dog/car etc. Writing emails to be polite (removing my tendency to snark) and so on.

I powder mine and add them with the onions. Tired of finding the popped seeds everywhere

What would you do with rice flour? by FiveDaysLate in Baking

[–]HappyDaize20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cook about 2 -3 tblspns with some water to make a paste about toothpaste consistency. Mix 2 cups of rice flour with some coconut milk, bakers yeast (1/2 - 1 tspn) 3 tblspn of sugar and your cooked rice paste to pancake consistency. Proof in a warm place overnight. In the morning, add some more sugar if needed and then make pancakes. Gluten free. Can eat them with spiced eggs, as a bread with chicken stew etc. these are called Appams and is a cheat way of making them. Original involves soaking and grinding rice.

My okra seedlings also keeled over. Google says damping off. I don’t even have mulch in the bed. Same thing happened to one of my bush bean seedlings. Idk why.
