    How do you lower your grocery bill?

    I don't need to. I follow a pattern of shopping so I do not need to lower my grocery bill as there's only the two of us now, DH and me, then the cat, the dog and a chinchilla. I shop for meat every two weeks, vegetables every week, then pantry items when they run low and buy only what I will...

    Do you know how to use chopsticks

    Yep! I know how to use them. I have acquired quite a modest collection of them too, now on display in my main dining room -- from standard Chinese to Mongolian to the tall cooking chopsticks.

    What do you do with used oil from a fryer?

    When I am done with mine, I put it in a plastic bag and throw it in the big bin. Or I pour it out in the corner of my backyard amongst the rocks away from where my dog can get to it.

    Travel Junkies (and dreamers!) Unite!

    Ever been to Melbourne (Australia)??? You'll find a lot of friendly people over there, no sweat at all. My DH is the 'merican side of our union.

    How do you learn to cook?

    Off topic -- when I joined this forum our then little puppy was named Coopers for South Australia's Coopers beer. He died 4 months later last year -- canine renal failure. Because DH was inconsolable at the time, I searched high and low for a new Rottie and found one in Texas. I convinced him to...

    How do you learn to cook?

    When I got out of "home" I had a good job, some money and some clothes. I knew nothing of cooking and sewing and all those things that makes a girl a "woman". I eat out for quite sometime, if I do not get invited to some friend's house...but then, it get so boring and I was running out of money...

    Are you conscious about Salt in your food?

    Our bodies need salt. I do not worry about salt or soy sauce or even the salty oyster sauce. Use in moderation, salt is good for you. and so is garlic and lots of herbs. Instead of using salt, sometimes I use bacon or ham, they are salty already without adding more salt to your food. Moderation...

    Dough - buy it or make it?

    I make mine from scratch...but if I have a party, I buy them instead...I make bread at least three times a week as those found in supermarkets around here is not as good. Besides, I love cooking.

    New Forum Look - I LIKE it!

    Green is supposed to be calming to the eyes, that is why in some colour schemes, especially in the bedroom, it is suppose to calm you down so you can sleep. I like green and blue, but then that is just me. And since I had not been here for quite sometime until of late, I really like the...
