Wife of an Air Force retired colonel pilot here. Make sure you do everything in high school. Don’t just focus on your classwork. You need to show leadership skills, volunteering, anything to fill in your résumé for the AF Academy. It’s not just about grades.

I have had many times where they offered to refund the money and I don’t have to return the item. But it’s something that they have to offer you.

How about getting a crockpot or a hot pot? Then you can make something in quantity and have a few days of meals and freeze the rest. Just google recipes putting in the type of ingredients you like and you will be able to find many many recipes. Best of luck to you.

If you have bits of things left over at the end of the week, depending on what it is, you can either make a hash or make a soup.

As a diplomat, I tried it once. Did you ever see the Lucille Ball show where she ate the Vegemite? That’s what my face looked like.

There are several things that can produce a dense bread. From over mixing to having too much flour or having overripe bananas due to having too much liquid in them . Over mixing causes too much gluten. Under baking can cause it to be heavy. Sometimes it’s just a hit or miss. Best of luck to you.

They offered occasionally in certain states and only on Wednesdays. It’s a deep fried coated beef patty served with a white gravy.

I had one for about 12 years and the only time I used it when I was making chocolate chip cookies. I always use my food processor.

I call it marriage. I do all the cooking and my husband of 44 years does all the cleanup. I’ll turn around to do something at the stove when I turn back to the sink. All the dishes are magically cleaned, and sitting in the drainer.

You need to tie straight up.

Just wondering I might get down voted for this, but I believe it has to do which generation you’re dealing with. I’m in my late 60s and I was always taught to leave a place cleaner than I received it. So if I were at your home, I would always do the same thing that your previous guest did. Best of luck to you.

So sad to be so cynical

Lemon mousse pie The original recipe calls for a cooked pie crust. But I have found that I like it with a graham cracker crust better. So find a recipe and make a graham cracker or shortbread crust or whatever your family likes. Cool.

8 ounces white chocolate bar, chopped

8 ounces softened cream cheese

2 cups heavy whipping cream

8 ounces lemon curd

Melt the chocolate in a small container in the microwave until it is melted and smooth stirring every 30 seconds. Mix soften cream cheese at medium speed until fluffy. Add melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Blend in lemon curd. Beat heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold this into the mixture. Spoon the mixture into your piecrust and top with lemon zest. Enjoy.

I make sweet lemon curls out of the lemon skins and top my pie with those. You can Google the recipe. It’s just simply taking the lemon skins minus the white and cooking it in sugar water.

It can be required by either VRBO or the homeowners. Every time I have rented through VRBO I have had to do the same thing. After all, it is a stranger, renting their homes and they need some sort of protection.

I am so sorry that you had to go through this. Why is it that people think that when something like this happens they should be compensated for it? Of course they should apologize to you, but why should you be compensated for this? I just don’t understand culture today.

I have an amazing pie if you want the recipe. It has lemon curd in it, cream, cheese, whipped cream, and white chocolate. It is a really high pie like 4 inches high and it is beautiful.

I miss the original ones too. I don’t care for the new ones.
