So, a few months ago, or so, I got the idea that it would be easier, prior to baking, just to score my potatoes with a knife than to poke them with a fork. Knifes are easier to wash, and it takes less effort to score than to poke. So, I did it, and the potatoes cooked a lot more nicely, too. ...read more

I haven't experimented terribly with creating chicken sandwiches. So, I decided it's about time to start. I live with a relative who likes plain, unseasoned, unadorned baked chicken. No seasonings. No sauces. Just the natural flavor. I like to flavor and/or sauce things. Anyway, I decided ...read more

So, I figured this out a few weeks or so ago: Take about a quart of Great Value orange juice (I used the calcium fortified kind, but I imagine the regular kind is at least as good). Add about a half a teaspoon of baking soda (give or take some; experiment to see if less works). Stir for about...read more

I just made an impromptu salad and potato dressing, and it worked out pretty nicely: Ingredients • Mayonnaise • Fenugreek powder • Ginger powder (more than the fenugreek) • Soy sauce • A little key lime powder (the powder I used was homemade, and included the fruits, peels, and seeds) •...read more

So, I just finished potting my cuttings and repotting some holiday cactuses that needed it. I gave them lots of perlite. All of them have no more than one plant per pot, except for I have two Christmas cactuses in a 2-gallon trough (which is probably a temporary spot for them, since I didn't hav...read more

My favorite string cheese is currently one I just tried: Frigo Cheese Heads Original String. Here's the barcode: 041716840887. Anyway, it has that nice squeaky/rubbery feel on my teeth and that nice taste peculiar to cheese curds. However, despite the texture, it's quite soft, and interest...read more

Well, I figured out a way to make something like homemade club soda: * Mix water and citric acid * Add some baking soda * Stir for a while It will fizz and get bubbly, and be carbonated. I imagine you could do the same thing with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and baking soda, since it rea...read more

So, this discussion was going on at Tomatoville: http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=50799 I can't use Tomatoville anymore; so, I'll post my reply here whether or not anyone gets it. As far as market qualities go, I'd suggest these: Cold Black Brandy. Firm and durable. Exceptional ...read more

Check this out: Normally, Christmas cactuses have two sides (and two ends), but this one has three ends. This is a cutting of a pink-flowering Christmas cactus. I used to think it was an Easter cactus, but nope: the flowers look just like those of my pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. ...read more

Check this out: This is a cutting of an extra-succulent pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. Normally segments are flat, but this one has three ends, with part of a fourth on the bottom (which may not be very visible, in the picture, if visible at all). See this similar post about a C...read more

I'm very interested in the concept of growing houseplants from seed. There doesn't seem to be much information that is easy to find about it, however. So, I plan to put information I discovered in this thread. I've read that these can be grown from seed: • Adromischus cristatus (Crinkle Lea...read more
