I work with food a lot and sometimes I do the dishes. One thing I have noticed is that people dump food that contains juices or some kind of fatty liquid, directly into the sink. I am just wondering how it doesn't get clogged. It happens frequently and a lot of restaurant food has a high fat...

I know health is important too, but I believe I could probably "cheat" once a week or so to get the nutrients I need. For now I wish to know if it's cheaper to eat fruits, veggies and nuts only. Trying to save money. I am constantly short of money, and there are people who struggle even more...

Hello. I came across this article about the effects of Covid vaccines. It was the topic of a talk among medical experts. It was an interesting read, however I lack the proper scientific understanding to really determine for myself whether the claims are true. I will post an excerpt of it...

I just use ginger. It does the job well, but I am just wondering if there are other simple wholesome ingredients I can use, to make my soup taste better. Nothing complicated! I like my recipes to be simple :P

In June 2023, the United States Congress quietly passed a piece of legislation called House Resolution 3832, also known as the Disease X Act of 2023, that references a mystery contagion that just so happens to be the subject of a World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting that took place on Jan. 17...

I get very good sleep every night but for some reason I always have these dark circles under my eyes, they make me look tired. Is there any way to reduce the look of them? Kind of annoying.

I have a question for those of you who marinate meats: Do you ever feel that it's wasteful? I once marinated my chicken in honey plus some herbs. The end result was really delicious chicken. However, I had to throw the marinade away after it was used, and it appeared to be very wasteful...

Hi, two quick questions for you guys: 1. Sometimes I see glass jars of Indian sauces at stores, sauces such as curry or vindaloo or whatever. I am just wondering if I can add the sauce directly to steamed rice, or do I need to cook it with something, or re-constitute/dilute it somehow. 2...

And how did it make you feel? Can't really frame it as a positive thing even if I tried, but I have learned to accept the fact that I am no spring chicken anymore. I am now officially middle aged and maybe that can be a positive thing. Gotta learn to make peace with it. You?

I don't know how to make a poll, can someone show me how please? Basically I want to conduct an informal survey to see the gender of members here. I think it'd be interesting.

Hello guys, a quick question. Should a Basque cheesecake be hot or cold? I know that it's really up to me but I just want to know how to serve it ideally. Thanks.

Hello. I recently saw ham being described as "double-smoked". I didn't know what that meant so I came home and googled. Apparently, this term, when applied to bacon, means that the bacon is cured in dry herbs and its own natural juice as opposed to the usual way, which is being injected with...

Hello. I remember when I used to make a sandwich using lettuce, I would wash it first. Then it went on the bread. However the remaining moisture on its surface would make the bread soggy. Just wondering how you guys deal with this. Is it necessary to wipe the lettuce leaves off or pat them...

Hello. Just wondering about people's thoughts on store-bought, pre-marinated meats. They could be chicken breast or kebabs, or some kind of skewer. Although the ones I see most often are some kind of chicken. I was told that the meats they use tend to be not very fresh, maybe days old meats...

I am just wondering how you deal with the smell that can sometimes come with cooking (especially when you pan fry or stir fry something) at home. Thanks.

Hi. I have always wondered. Say you want to move to a new city. You need a place to live, so you check out the rooms to rent section on craigslist. You have to be physically present to see the place to see if something you like. But, when you are a woman, this can be dangerous, going into...

Hello. I was reading about how to make kombucha. Many articles mention the use of scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), which ferments the sugar in black tea (the other ingredient for making kombucha). I am just wondering if I can use fresh orange juice instead of black tea to...

Hello. I know that compared to ripe avocados, the unripe ones don't taste as creamy, and they have a different profile of fat content. But I am just wondering other than those things, do unripe ones contain pretty much the same nutrients as their ripe counterpart? Thanks.

Hello. I am just wondering if there is any good free VPN that people can recommend to me. I don't watch movies online, the most I do is listen to songs on youtube. I also browse the internet and post on forums, but it's all text-based 98% of the time. Need a good free VPN recommendation. I...

Hello. I am a huge fan of mushrooms. I like most of them. And recently, I had this mushroom which I thought was really tasty, a real surprise. I think it was probably a cross between a shiitake mushroom and a regular mushroom, because it had the same taste as the former but not as intense...

Hi. I have a few questions about marzipan. I saw these packets of marzipan at a local grocer, the writing on it was in German so I wasn't sure but it said baking, does that mean I cannot eat it like that? I have to bake it first? Also what does pure marzipan taste like? I have never had it...

Hello, just got a question about brewing coffee. I only want to drink one cup of coffee per day. So I am wondering if it's ok for me to put just tiny little bit of ground coffee beans in the filter paper. I don't want to make a pot of coffee, it's too much. However I am not sure if just...

Hello. I am a huge fan of chicken donair. I wish to make it at home. All the veggies plus bread are easy to make, and I think the meat (which would be chicken in my case) on a vertical rotisserie is the most difficult to make. Just wondering if anybody has any success with replicating donair...

Hello. I bought some chia seeds. I want to grind them up first prior to consumption. It's a bit of a hassle to have to do this everyday so I think I will grind up quite a bit and then store it in the fridge. Question: how long do ground chia seeds last before oxidizing? I am not worried...

Hello. Just wondering how often a healthy person can eat beets. They are high in oxalates, hence the question. Thanks.
