There used to be another product like BTF here and it was called Zud. But I no longer see it on the shelves. Surely, there is some sort of cleaning compound like that on the other side of the world? Check your grocery store shelves and ask the store manager if they stock any type of cleaner like that. |

I cook a lot of black beans, a favorite here, had them for dinner last night and will have them for dinner tonight. Cooked in a stainless steel pot they don't stain the pot but they will stain foods, like rice. We like refried beans and black beans is what we use.... we usually have them cooked with pork chops but this time with kielbasa. |

Popeye would just pee in it before cooking, because the heat would help too. Maybe he will help. Julie is a bean expert too, so maybe she will give better guidance.

One was stainless steel and one was cast iron with some enamel layer, I think (Le Creuset). I just had them again. I can't believe how good they are. Boiled in water with a bit of salt until soft enough and later briefly fried in olive oil. |

But I like the keyboard of this laptop; well spaced keys and they feel like keys. It's other functions of this Asus I'm not thrilled about but it will do. |

Ok. Then there's no excuse for you to not use your shift key for a capital letter. And using that shift key should not slow you down at all. You've become lazy. |

He may be lazy with the Shift (capital S, please) key, but he makes up for it by typing 2 spaces after a period. Oh, you do too. I'm told it's a thing of baby boomer Americans. |

Oh, you do too. I'm told > it's a thing of baby boomer Americans. Probably so. I like the 2 spaces after a period; it keeps the sentences from looking jammed together. The period is the break between the sentence and the 2 spaces is also a visual break; at least it is to me. By the way, shift on my keyboard is spelled with a lowercase s, as is the e in enter, and t in tab. Ctrl, fn, and alt all begin with lowercase letters. I did write it as Ctrl as it was used as the beginning of a sentence. |

It's called "posting à la tert", Joan... ;-) And per your Chromebook small keyboard comment, yeah, I love my Acer CB, but it is a small keyboard...I only really use it when I'm travelling around for business (fits perfectly in my backpack)...drives me nutz for daily use... -- Best Greg |

It has helped me diagnose a weird full-size laptop problem in the past and a time or two when my wireless connection simply died. |

Nowadays, you can't swing a cat without bumping into one of his foundations. You would never have known his wealth and orneriness from looking at him in his heyday.

Slowly they are shifting a little bit. A smaller first plate at the buffet (all you can eat, $9.29, not fancy but decent for the price). We all go back for seconds but I start with a smaller plate then get the most tasty items for my seconds. My 3rd plate is always frest cut fruit and sometimes a dibble of something from the salad bar. |

Diluted with half water as we all know how strong the smell of ammonia is. How well it would cut a thick layer of grease? I don't know but it does a great job on regular accumulated kitchen grease. |

Still saved a few hundred over buying it elsewhere. I don't know how the price would be affected if it was assembled on the line at the factory. You'd have to pay for that labor plus some additional shipping as it would take more space on the truck. Payload would go down about 25%. |

When used on high, it left a black sooty residue on the bottom of the pot. Once adjusted, no problem. Did not have a cleaning lady at the time, just an overworked housewife. Present cleaning lady does the cabinets every two weeks. |
