    How do you carry your laundry to the coin laundry?

    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...

    How do you carry your laundry to the coin laundry?

    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...

    Mini peppers and (really) mini tomatoes

    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...

    Mini peppers and (really) mini tomatoes

    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?

    What is this called?

    What would be ideal for the counter and using it as a padding to move it around? Since I need something that will allow me to hold on the bottom as I move it around, the metal trivets are out. My pot have poor handle design. I need something that will allow me to place a palm on the bottom...

    What is this called?

    Once you are done cooking, the hot cookware is then placed on this pad thing that prevents the heat from burning the counter top. What is this pad thing called?

    Garlic powder nutrients?

    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?

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    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?

    Garlic powder nutrients?

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

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    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...

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

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

    Garlic powder nutrients?

    Thanks for the garlic keeper suggestion. I never knew there was such a thing. Or would have thought it had a functional purpose if I saw one. You mentioned "If the green sprouts are big just cut them out." But this site says, "If garlic begins to sprout or go soft then it is past its prime...

    Garlic powder nutrients?

    Do the real garlics lose flavor over time? How long do they last until they are considered spoiled? I do not have any place considered dark enough to keep garlics, would keeping them in a light proof container work the same way? Does it even require oxygen? What if it starts sprouting, would...

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    So, likely, the water line would be below the chopsticks. Would the wooden or bamboo chopsticks catch fire or just have burn marks? I ask because wood is touching the metal. Sorry if it it a stupid question. My chemistry is very poor. About the bamboo steamer. I saw some that are like...

    Garlic powder nutrients?

    These powder packages do not carry a fact sheet. Do garlic powder have significant nutrients? How does the garlic powder fare with the real thing in terms of nutrients? How long can I keep the garlic powder in a container on the shelf? It is not listed on the package. I have searched and...

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    Should the water line be below, right on, or above the chopsticks? Same goes for the bamboo steamer. Also, what type of chopsticks is prefered? Wood, bamboo, or plastic?

    Comb for removing dead hair on scalp?

    The thing about a comb is, it does not work for me. I have fine straight hair. I can comb the same spot over and over again, and maybe, 1 or 2 dead hair will come off. If I apply mild pressure onto the hair and pull with my hands, I get like 5-7 dead hair. And the shampoo thing, it works...

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    Okay, thanks. Another thing. When stir-frying with a non-stick wok, does it follow the same rules as the carbon steels: Heat it up, then add oil? Oh, almost forgot, what would be a safe thing to use if I want to steam a plate of something that cannot be done with a bamboo steamer?

    Comb for removing dead hair on scalp?

    What type of comb is best for removing dead hair just hanging on the scalp? Prefered if someone can show me a picture what the comb looks like.

    Deep frying and steaming with a wok

    1. I know it is okay to deep dry with a carbon steel wok. But what about a non-stick one? Is it okay? 2. Is anything required to be placed between the wok and bamboo steamer? Or does the bamboo steamer sit directly on the wok? 3. Is it safe to use a metal steamer rack (I think that is what...

    How does it feel to sleep on a camp/army cot?

    How does it feel to sleep on a camp/army cot? Any campers here? Or people who have been in the service? That thin layer of polyester with an inch or two padding any good for sleeping? Any back pain or joint pain? Especially those who have been sleeping in one throughout their service.
