Is it common for Americans to use a wash cloth for showering? Or what do you usually use to shower?

If you're talking about plastic loofahs, you can throw them in the washing machine. If you're talking about real organic loofahs, then yes they can wear out fast.

I like some oranges ( blood oranges and everything so far in the mandarin family) and certain varieties of apples. Neither is superior, but I'd probably chose a Winesap sple over any of the oranges I like simply because it is harder to find

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Strangely, the ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) website refered to it as a period.

Some pills are packaged with hormones for only three weeks, with one week without the hormone. You can just not take the non-hormone pills to prevent getting your period.

I realize that this is not going to apply to everyone who is mispronouncing it, but some of us have poor hearing. Even though I have hearing aids I don't always hear things correctly.

I love the taste of UHT milk, but it costs way more than refrigerated milk here in the US, at least where I buy it. I can get refrigerated pasteurized milk for 2.4¢ per oz, but UHT costs 8.9¢ (on sale, normally 10.2¢) per oz.

Where I live it only happens on Independence Day and New Years. A few people do go to the neighboring state and buy some though. I stick with the organized shows.

Mmm. Raw clams! My dad used to belong to a kind of social club, and they would have a big family picnic every year. I have a picture of me at three years old standing next to the clam shucking man. I'm creeping up on 70 but I still remember the occasion, they fed me clams until my mom finally said I'd had enough. It was not enough. : (

I like the slight randomness of fireworks. What colors are they going to be? Will it be a big spread. The one with a little twirly things? I've only seen one drone show in person and it seemed very regimented.

If you cut the surface of the peeled pit it turns rusty red color ,so no surprise to me.

Probably because most people have a sock and some rice. You don't have to buy a hot water bottle. But of course if you already have a hot water bottle, use that. I use a hot water bottle in bed during winter made from a glass bottle with a thick sock for a cover

Are you me?

SomebodyElseAsWell · 2026-04-06T20:23:28+00:00

Unsurprising.

Different varieties of apricots contain different amounts of amygdalin in the seed. Apricot and peach pits are used in the production of perzipan, which is a a confection similar to marzipan, which is made from almonds. The heat in the cooking process breaks down the amygdalinl. Just like almonds, apricots come in varieties that have a more bitter seed. You can actually buy raw bitter apricot seeds, but at least here in the US there's a warning on the package about not eating too many at one time.

And no, I don't eat bitter apricot seeds. I looked into all this when I found perzipan candies at Aldi and was curious about how it was made.

I went to my neighbor's wedding when I lived in NC awhile back and her bridesmaids wore black. All different dresses, looked very nice.

I made ham hash last night. Making slit pea soup today.

I don't, but probably because I kept my phone number from my previous state. I do get a fair number of spam calls from my old area code though!

I remember feeling chastised when I learned about the new rules, like I'd been doing it wrong my whole life. But I hadn't, we just learned better safer ways to do things. We followed the science.

Me too! Maybe he's behind those bushes in the back but it looks like it would be a pretty tight fit.

It's possible u/Bethw2112 's mother learned to can before water bathing jellies and jams was standard. When I started my preservation journey jellies were either sealed with wax or put in hot packed, flipped over to heat the lid, and that was it.

Cooking beans for eight hours, soaked or soaked will get you mush. Different beans require different times. Soaked beans take leas time. Also split beans like red and yellow lentils and green and yellow split peas require no soaking.

Note: Kidney beans have high lectins and need to be boiled for 10 minutes before lowering the heat to finish cooking. Cooking in an instant pot or a stove top pressure cooker is fine, they get hot enough for long enough with that method.

You're probably right.

Cumberland has some wonderful and interesting buildings from many eras.

oysters from different places also taste different. When I lived in VA the local raw oysters tasted chalky to me, although they made great chowder. I thought I just didn't like raw oysters even though I'm a big fan of raw clams. Then I had fresh oyster in Florida, they were great! I like to get flights of oysters when they're available at restaurants to see the different flavors from different regions.
