I use the pretentiously arty version when I'm talking about pretentiously arty stuff. For normal usage, a regular h and a short o. The weak or silent h is an East Cost dialect in the U.S., so far as I know. Cindy Hamilton |

I think it must be a middle-class affectation where the "abrupt-sounding" short vowel sounds are thought to be undignified. So we have Poh de creme for Pot de creme (short "o" and "t" silent). At least the "creme" part is correctly pronounced. Riz-oat-oh for risotto Coasta Rica Noatruh Darm for the Parisian cathedral and many, many more! |

You pronounce the H in homage. French has no Hs, ever. Does that make you an imbecile? I don't think so. |

Dried beans do not expire unless improperly storaged, but improperly storaged is not the fault of the beans... many people don't know how to cook beans or cook anything at all, which is what I suspect is the case here. Tomorrow I will use my saved ham bone from Christmas dinner to cook two pounds of yellow split peas... two one pound bags, neither has an expiration date, in fact I've never seen a package of dried legumes with an expiration date... the ONLY reason dried legumes do not cook well is the fault of the cook. In my experience a lot of people who claim to be good cooks can't cook at all, especially true of many celebrity TV cooks/chefs... mostly others do the cooking behind the scenes, those TV BSers display the already cooked foods. Maybe 20% of those TV cooks can actually cook, observing most with cutlery is a dead giveaway that they need to be banned from the kitchen. Julia Child is one that can't cook a lick, her wealthy husband paid for her to attend a fancy schmancy culinary institute but she has no kitchen skills. Her only claim to fame is in having the FIRST TV cooking show, thanks to her husband. Julia is really an ass in the kitchen. I used to enjoy some FOOD TV Shows, not anymore, I have no desire to watch someone wearing a toque pretending to cook. I haven't watched Food TV in more than ten years. The only food show I occasionally watch is Guy's Triple D, it's a decent travelogue and those doing the cooking in their eateries can actually cook... I wouldn't eat a lot of what they cook but some looks very good. I definitely don't like the cooking reality show contests, those judges are fakes. |

I never have >>> > > cream or milk here, and rarely have lemons. I do have vinegar. Doesn't seem expensive at all. Here milk by the 1/2 gallon costs about $2. Heavy cream is sold in pint containers at about $2. Fresh lemons cost very little here. a two pound bag (7-8 lemons) cost about $3.50... the bag of lemons lasts me over a month... one lemon lasts me a week. I keep one in the fridge in a zip-loc and each evening I slice off a wedge for my drinkipoo... I get 7-8 wedges from a lemon... I slice the wedges one at a time, hold to the light so I can find any seeds and pick them out with the point of a paring knife... all part of my daily ritual. When I want lemon on my salad I'll squeeze a wedge over and put the squeezed rind into my Crystal Palace glass and leave it in the fridge for later. At the end of the night before bed time I empty the glass with the rind and any remining ice out my window, by morning the rind is gone, if cold out the ice is still there. In winter deer aren't too fussy, they'll eat any vegetation they find, even lemon rinds. Wild birds peck at citrus rinds all year. I'm not sure if it's only deer that eat the vegetation I toss outside, could be possoms, racoons, skunks, even chipmonks. Nothing edible ever goes into the trash, critters love apple cores and especially melon rinds... deer like banana peels. I cut up two small pumpkins that we grew and used for decor, yesterday I tossed those out, seeds too, all gone by morning. Sometimes a squirrel will tunnel into a pumpkin and eat all the seeds, they'll eat squash seeds too. When I scoop out seeds I see no point in putting them in the trash when the critters will happily eat them. We grow more squash and pumpkin than we can eat or give away. Even though critters won't eat onion trimmings those go in the composter. |

Of course not, the seller can decide not to sell. There's no such thing as a perfect house, which is why minor defects are negotiable, but jmajor flaws need to be repaired or the local building code enforcement authority will stop all sales and likely evict the owner, may tear down the house and bill the owner. |

My brother-in-law's wood stove worked great when we stayed at his house. A fan might have made it work even better but he never pulled a fan out. He had a high ceiling so I suppose the hot air would go straight to the top of the cabin. |
