Instant Pot Blueberry OatmealSummer is here, and this is a great way to make breakfasts for a few days. Blueberries are at their peak. You can use other fruits, too. This tastes just like blueberry pie, but much healthier!
Purple Sweet Potato PieI'm sure many of you have had sweet potato pie. This pie is very similar but uses purple sweet potatoes. Baking the sweet potatoes in the oven (in lieu of boiling them) gives this a beautiful creamy consistency and not at all watered down. Baking them also retains their beautiful purple colour. Purple sweet potatoes can be found in grocery stores labeled as Okinawan, Hawaiian, or purple sweet potatoes. They are packed full of potassium, B6, vitamin C, and fiber.
Easy Homemade KimchiAlthough it will take 2-3 days to complete the fermentation, kimchi has an excellent spicy, tangy flavor. A staple in Korea food, this side dish is easy to make and loaded with "healthy bacteria".
Making Rainbow LollipopsThis is a super fun craft that doubles as a delicious treat. Use hard candies to melt into rainbows for one side of the lollipop, then create your own silver-spiked clear hard candy for the other side. The result is a beautiful lollipop that has a highly saturated rainbow side, and a pastel sparkly rainbow on the flip side. These are super gorgeous when held up to the light.

I am afraid of tripping over the edge and falling. In spite of putting in tub rails, I still have problems. I also have some bouts of dizziness. I need help in remodeling my bathroom. I can hardly get in and out of present tub without falling.
Is My Dog a Full Blooded Chihuahua?Everyone thinks my Chihuahua is a Jack Russell how can I tell? The first photo was taken at 10 weeks. He is now 16 weeks and a little over 5 lbs.
Identifying a Porcelain Doll?The words are hard to read and the title ("copr by Grace G Rethwell Jermany Oxsee Walton 1990?") is my best guess, sorry! She has a full porcelain body, joints in hips, shoulders and neck, painted nails, and some hardy white leather(?) shoes with the cutest bow and buckles. I'm looking for identity and possible approximate value so I can decide whether or not to insure her.
Identifying Dust Mites?I just wanted to know what they are and if that's what I see floating around in the air inside and outside. My lampshades have a crusty dust. I normally live in Alaska. So just trying to figure it out.
Remedy for Chihuahua with Itchy Skin?I have a 10 year old Chihuahua. She had some fleas on her about a week ago now. I didn't notice it until after I gave her a regular bath. So I combed her out with a flea comb and put Advantage on her. I waited 48 hours and gave her a Dawn bath. I still check and can't find any more fleas or traces of where they have been, but my girl is digging even more. She is so miserable. I don't see dry skin.
Identifying Metal Bobble Head Kissing Fairies?I found these darling metal bobble kissing fairies and I can't find any markings or where they came from. Hopefully someone knows something about them?
Longarm Sewing Machine Error Code?My TinLizzie18 is sick. It turns on, gives the error code "uC", and then the screen turns to the normal "start sewing" screen. When I press the foot pedal, the machine moves lightening fast. I can't make it slow down (releasing the pressure on the foot does nothing. Changing the speed does nothing.) The only way to stop it is to turn it off. The TinLizzie company has since gone out of business.
Identifying Tiny Brown Bugs?I have tiny brown bugs on wood door. Any IDs?
Copycat Recipe for McCormick's Top Chop Seasoning?What were the ingredients for McCormick's Top Chop seasoning? It was discontinued in 1992.
Lights Not Working After a Short?A bedroom light fitting shorted and now none of the lights work. Some of the wires were burnt so I cut out the burnt wires and stripped back. The lights momentarily flickered, but the lights didn't come on and the flickering soon stopped. I then isolated the live feed and it is showing a current so I hooked up a bulb to test the live feed with the neutral, but the bulb didn't light up.
Getting Rid of Black Bugs in Kitchen Cabinets?I have got black bugs (mites?) in the kitchen cupboards and some sawdust looking power which comes along with them. I am not sure what they are. The only flour in the cupboard is in a airtight jar. Any help or suggestions on what to do much appreciated.
Business Name for Bed & Breakfast With Great Food?I am from deep east Texas and have been making Southern style cooking all my life. I am of American Indian and Greek decent. I am looking for a unique name for my food. I want to own a Bed & Breakfast so I can cook different styles depending on the clients staying with me. So I need a good name!
Identifying a Porcelain Doll?I have a porcelain doll with no identifying marks. She has porcelain head, arms, and legs and a hard stuffed body. What makes her interesting to me is the position the maker has her in. It looks like she is kissing. I'm looking to find out her identity and approximate worth.
Getting Rid of Small Grey Bugs?I have these tiny bugs around the window in the bedroom. They seem grey, but under light they can be translucent. They are slow and they do not jump or fly. The small ones are as small as a speck with no features that the eye can distinguish. The larger ones are pictured here.

Pfaff Sewing Machine Needle Stuck on Zig Zag?I have a problem with my Pfaff 138 sewing machine. The needle position is stuck on zig zag, the dial can be adjusted and there's a slight change in the width of the zig zag, but when the dial is set on middle position and "0" it results in needle position to the right and still zigzagging.

Best Way to Resolve Disputes with Neighbors?Me and my family moved into what we assumed was a descent neighborhood almost 2-3 years ago now and made quick friends with our surrounding neighbors. Everything seemed like it was going good until one of our neighbors tipped us off that our next door neighbors were trying to cause trouble for us and that they did it to them when they used to lived next door to them too.
Deodorizing Laundry Soap for Sensitive Skin?I used baking soda or vinegar in the past, but my clothes stink, at least to me. Maybe they stink to other people whether I use funky deodorizing laundry soap or not, or maybe only to me. I've been using Arm and Hammer with OxiClean and then Tide with Downy. Now I'm itching, ick. Luckily I'm at home, or I'd look really interesting :) Whatever it is, I need fresh-smelling laundry. What can I use?
Repairing a Janome Sewing Machine?My Janome machine has no power.
John Deere D170 Won't Start?My daughter borrowed my riding mower yesterday. She was mowing with the throttle at a low speed and the lack of lift resulted in the bag chute filling up. I went to start the mower up and nothing. I checked the regular culprits (brake lock, mower engage lever, seat sensor). I checked the battery, cleaned the ignition harness and wires, cleaned the brake override harness, and still nothing.
