I wish I could get my husband to use cloth napkins. It would save money on buying paper napkins, and the amount of laundry it added would be insignificant. Cindy Hamilton |

Bounty Select-A-Size is a great idea, a half size towel folded in half makes a perfect napkin... also makes a perfect tissue for nose blowing, much stronger than tissues yet so soft they don't irritate. I keep a stack in my night stand drawer and keep 3-4 in my coat and pant pockets. I think handkerchiefs/snotrags are very unsanitary... I see people blow their nose into them several times over several days before they are laundered... like using both sides of TP. Bounty Select-A-Size paper towels are superior to Kleenex and cost less, plus takes the place of several paper products. Handkerchiefs/snotrags are a disgusting product... I'm suprised they still exist. |

I'll start: Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler in STL so tomorrow I'm going to make another batch of English Toffee! 3.5 cups sugar 1/4tsp Cream Of Tartar, mix well. 2 cups 40% cream 2 sticks butter Cook to 310F stirring especially towards end of cook Remove from heat, add 1tsp almond and 2tsps of vanilla Pour into hard flat heat tolerant surface (small marble slab works wonderfully!) Score with sharp knife before cool to make rectangles, etc, or let cool and break into pieces. Cover in milk chocolate if desired. Enjoy! John Kuthe... |

They are very like SAMS and COSTCO (we have all 3). There's a few folks with memberships at 2 of them based on location. BJs tends (here) to cater more to the home bulk shopper than COSTCO while SAMS is a bit in between them, or such is what I am told. |

Here's a copycat recipe for KFC cole slaw. <https://topsecretrecipes.com/kfc-cole-slaw-copycat-recipe.html> 1/3 cup sugar to 1/4 C sour stuff (not counting the tang from the buttermilk). So my previous estimate was a little pessimistic. My husband likes that really fine cole slaw, so when I make it for him, the blender is involved. When I make it for just myself, I shred it with a knife. Cindy Hamilton |

When I make it for myself, I just add some sort of acid (cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, lemon or lime juice), olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cindy Hamilton |

I'll post > however I made this batch later if I think of it. Ok, here goes. Rough chopped about 1/3 of a small head of regular 'head' cabbage and 1 large bok choy (include most of the white stem) 1/2 a medium vidalia onion, thin sliced 1 mini-red pepper, rough chop rest approximations: 3/4c mayo 2 ts yellow mustard 2 ts grainy brown mustard 1/2 ts whisky smoked black pepper, coarse grind 1/4 ts curry (Yellow, Vadouvan - Onion, shallot, cumin, tumeric, garlic, black mustards, cardamom, fenugreek, salt) Mix mayo and spices to blend then add to vegetables and mix. Better 2nd day. Notable is no sweeteners and no vinegar. Often served with a bit of salt to taste. If you want more color, takes well to either more red bell peppers, shredded dried tomatoes (or dried ones in oil) and pimientos. Pimientos are last choice due to texture mis-match. Color alternative, halved cherry tomatoes added fresh at the top of portion at serving time. COVID shopping: Depending on your area, fresh bok choy may be hard to obtain. Here, it's a local farm crop and available most places (and all ethnic markets). The onion can also be a red/purple or regular yellow but we had Vidalia handy. |

But ranch is definitely not the > standard. I've done a simple buttermilk/ranch homemade before with cabbage. It's not as thick of a coating as I like but some like a thinner coating than I do. It's ok. Definately not the standard, I agree. Nor probably is the one I just posted though I'm not the only one to make one a bit like it. I make something similar to the one I just posted, probably once every 4-6 weeks. |

My regular flour bin is mixed at 80% white wheat, 20% spelt. This then may be futher mixed at baking time with say 3 cups 'white mix' 1 cup rye or rye and whole wheat. |

He wasn't really a negro but a bi-racial guy raised in an Asian-American culture. That didn't matter because a lot of Americans can only see the color of a person's skin. The hatred was so strong that I thought America needed to elect that guy that currently sits in the white house because that would have satiated the haters and act as a safety valve. Boy was I wrong! These days, half the country hates the other half. 2020 is an important point in history as it marks our country's place as the greatest power in the world being handed over to the Chinese - just as your country handed over the crown to the Americans some 70 years ago. BTW, thanks for doing that! 🤴🤠|

They need the extra weight because of the migration sucking all the power out of them. Before I moved here, I used to feed them. I put the feeder out before the first arrived (I used to track them on those maps) and you could almost see the relief of a good meal after a long trek. Unfortunately they don't come to this area so I gave up putting out a feeder. |
