Seasoning Veggies and Beans?
For Cabbage I use Chicken Bullion, onion, fresh minced garlic and black pepper. There is ALMOST fat free but I think the bullion may contain a little. Also, I like the idea of the smoked turkey leg. I think a few pieces in there for flavoring would be yummy...
Dried Beans Vs. Canned Beans?
I believe dried beans are far cheaper and the taste of homemade pintos are FAR better than those in a can. However, I too use canned beans in a pinch to throw in casseroles. As long as you rinse all the water out they are good. I cook beans in very large quantites...

9 Year Old Lab Losing Hair?
My dog got the same symptoms and he had sarcoptic mange. I was shocked since my dog is NEVER around other dogs. The vet told me that the mites can be airborne and YOU can get it too! I would take him to the vet to rule out that it is or is not sarcoptic mange...

We live in Rowlett and my neighbor has a red oak dropping bally things. They are a tad bit smaller than a golf ball a nd are light brown w/ a thin crunchy outer layer. He says its normal because I asked what they were.
Hiding a Bright Paint Color?
My son would love a burnt orange room! Tell her your a Texas Longhorn fan!!! You gotta love the Longhorns!!! With all that aside, I agree with the colored light bulb. If she is a real friend she DOESNT expect you to paint a room!
Cleaning High Chair Trays?
Bleach kitchen spray. I buy the kitchen spray at Wal-mart for .99 cents and use it all the time on my daughters tray. Just let it sit a bit. Repeat if they are really old. Works like a charm.

In Rockwall just outside of Dallas off 30 there is a place called Jacksons Automotive (near Wal-Mart Super center). The owner goes to church with me. He owns a good honest business. His prices are comprable to other Dallas shops (NOT CHEAP BUT NOT OUTRAGEOUS...
Finding Ripe Mangos?
I agree with all the postings only to add that they also smell ripe! Just as a melon or a pineapple smells ripe a mango smells too. I always pick up and smell my fruit at the store. Seems silly but I rarely get bad fruit. Good luck!

Dishwasher Reviews?
I am not certian of number order but Maytag/Jenn-air used to be considered top notch. Sadly, things are not made like they used to be and my MAYTAG REPAIR MAN suggested I buy a Kennmore when my MAYTAG finally dies!!! Hope this helps some.
How long does it take to defrost a turkey?
I would leave it in the refridgerator for like 5 days. I know a 12 pound turkey took 3 days and was still a little frozen when removing giblets. I would say 5 should do it. Besides, if it defrosts in only 4 days one extra day in the fridge will not harm the...
Selling Crafts in Front of Your House?
I would just go through the same procedures your city allows for garage sales. Post signs that say Sale instead of garage sale. I have seen many signs that just say sale. Good Luck!
