Thanks for all the suggestions. I will see if I can find a large cloth bag or large duffel bag. A week-worth laundry? Plenty.... For me, it is not a sunshine walk through the quiet neighborhood. I have to walk along a road with lots and lots of traffic with many trucks. I can take a tissue...

I do not have the luxury of a car or my own washer and dryer. The coin laundry is just 2 blocks away. So I walk there weekly. I carry it with a "garbage" bag since using the laundry basket will collect dust and emission. I have been looking for an alternative since carrying a garbage bag of...

Thanks for all the response everyone. You been very helpful. If anyone has more to say, please do. I always thought these smaller vegetables (well, technically, they are both fruits) were inorganic because of its size. EDIT: Is it okay to eat half-cooked red peppers? Fully cooked red...

Are mini green or red peppers (size of small potatoes), mini tomatoes (size of ping pong), and really mini tomatoes (size of paintballs) genetically mofidied? Hybrid? Or natural? What are their proper terms? Are they less nutritious than their larger counterparts?

Missed one. Would be great if someone could answer. Or may I add oil on the cold non-stick wok and start cooking?

Thanks everyone for answering. You all been very helpful! Some white glassware (porcelein?). Correct. The chopped potatoes. Used only one clove. No taste difference noticed.

So if my garlic starts sprouting should I keep it (but the the green off like Elf said) or chuck it out like the URL I posted in Page 1 says? Also, I am still concerned over this part: Does anyone know the answer to it?

Does the bamboo steamer require washing after use? Or only if something spill over it from the top tier? Also, does it absorb smell such as fish? Or will the steam kill off any smell that maybe in or on the bamboo steamer?

If it is poisonous, why would people add garlic to oil for flavoring?!

Sorry for the typo above, it should have been read as "So you are saying that the bamboo steamer should big enough to be sitting on the entire wok?" Should the heat be turned all the way up, or just enough to get some steam? If steaming meat in one, and vegetables in the other, which goes on...

So you are saying that the bamboo steamer should big enough to be sitting (typo, not hitting) on the entire wok?
