    A question on detergents and other cleaning solutions.

    I do agree with the less is more strategy. Many times these companies do recommend higher sprays or dosages of their product for this main reason, the more and faster you use per cleaning, the sooner you will buy more of the product!! Usually use the rule of thumb of starting with half of what...

    New Grocery Store to Exclusively Sell Expired Food

    Wow very scary, besides being unsafe, this may be unlawful. Really looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen. While I agree that expiration dates may be on the conservative side and shelf life can be longer that stated, with safety, always better to be on the safe side. These expiration dates...

    Handling raw chicken

    While I agree that media does cause hysteria because as the old saying goes, if it bleeds it leads, when determining what's on the front page. In the case of raw chicken and cases of food poisoning, I do see the point of the heightened awareness. Salmonella poisoning can be very dangerous and...

    Worms in Rice

    Wow very disturbing find. Hopefully the store was able to give you a refund and an apology. Thankfully you did not eat any of the worms and who knows what other insects were in the mix. Will definitely make sure I look for any open tears next time I shop for a sack of rice. May stick too...

    Even experienced cooks screw up royally when it comes to safety

    Glad I am not alone in this club, hey it happens to the best :) Had many similar experiences from trying to put our pan fires with water (who hasn't done this in their teens!), almost cutting a limb off via the garbage disposal, and last but not least kitchen almost burning down and no fire...

    Wow I can go on for hours on how to cook a chicken, feel like Bubba in Forest Gump going on and on how to cook shrimp, in this case chicken. Fried Chicken is always a winner from Thai Fried Chicken, Country Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak. Most countries and regions have a distinct fried...

    Chinese buffet

    What a great thread, always love talking about my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately the days of gorging in yummy buffetts are over for me. My body just cannot handle it. Now takes me about 3-4 days to feel normal and regular after feasting at a buffet. What I do enjoy and still frequently...

    Classic Turkey Dinner. Under $2.00 per person...

    Wow what incredibly helpful and timely post with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Great breakdown of costs by the way as well. Will definitely use this as my template to savings success. Really does cover all the bases, just would add home made gravy usign the turkey fat that pretty much...

    Good bulk foods to make publicly available in dorm?

    I agree with most of the other forum members. The selection of foods is very unhealthy and may be doing more harm than good. Would be tough for them to concentrate with so much junk in their body. I do like the eggs, really is proven to be brain food. How about dried fruits such as banana...

    Borderline Diabetes--diet changes?

    I too am a borderline diabetic and really had to change my eating habits. While all the "standard" diabetic tips of course are helpful and effective, I've found a few additions to my diet that have helped lower my blood sugar. I replaced rice with a "cauliflower rice" that is very filling and...
