Treating Skin Fold Sores?
The area under my stomach can get very sweaty and eventually sore, sometimes at the drop of a hat. Using Cetaphil cleanser helps, and dusting the area with Anti Monkey Butt powder helps a lot, usually after just one application. Gold Bond powder helps a bit...
White Chili
I make something very similar to this. I usually add at least one can of mushrooms, chopped up a bit (I love mushrooms) and use a mix of Great Northern beans, black eye peas, white hominy, and garbonzo beans (chickpeas). After it has simmered a while, I mix...
3-2-1 Single Serving Cake Mix Recipe?
I think I first saw this recipe here. Mix one box of angel food cake mix with one box of any other cake mix. So far Ive used sugar free devils food cake and a spice cake. To make one serving, put three tablespoons of the mix in a small microwave safe bowl and...
Using Lamp Oil in an Electric Oil Lamp?
I got curious about the kind of lamp you were referring to. If it is, as I think, one of the rain lamps (with mono-filament line that the oil drips down), I had to look it up. I havent thought of them in years! I found a site that seemed to have some good information...
Homemade Laundry Detergent
My only question is, doesnt the Oxiclean cancel the bluing? I always use bluing when washing whites; I put it in the wash water (since I never seem to catch the beginning of the rinse cycle), and the first time I put Oxyclean in after the bluing, the bluing...
Removing Blood Stains from White Clothes
Ive used Awsome (a spray, I get it from Dollar General) and it takes blood and pretty much every other stain out. I often wear white shirts. Being diabetic, I do many finger sticks every day. Sometimes, for whatever reason, I dont get just a drop of blood, but...
Ideas for a Unique Lamp Post for Front Yard?
My grandmother had a standard metal lamp post, but she had ivy growing around it and out into the yard, trimmed into a circle on the ground. It looked especially nice at Christmas with strings of lights wound through the ivy. At my house, the lamp post is a...
Recipes From The "I Hate to Cook" Cookbook
My guess is that one of the butters should be flour, possibly the 1/2 cup. I dont think 1/4 cup of flour would be enough with 1/2 cup of butter and the jar of cheese spread, but 1/2 cup should be enough.
What Natural Remedy Can I Use for Dry Skin on My Face?
Ive recently started using the Oil Cleansing Method, and it seems to be working. My skin has had oily areas, but my forehead has always been dry and flaky. Since Ive started using the OCM, that hasnt been an issue. The oily areas are not oily, and the flaky...
Heat Liquid Before Adding to Roux
You do have to stir (or whisk) pretty steadily when adding the hot liquid, but it seems (for me, anyway) to blend smoother. It can form a very thick paste at first, but keep adding the hot liquid, and stirring, and it smooths out. For me, adding the cold liquid...
Recipes That Use Ramen Noodles?
I have used them as a simple side dish. Just cook and drain the noodles, add a little butter or margarine to keep them from sticking together and sprinkle with a little of the seasoning packet. The other way I cook them. is break up two packages of noodles...
Organize Band Aids by Size
I remember my father used to use the original boxes, with one on the outside to show what size it was. Of course this was also with the metal boxes that Band-aids used to come in very long lasting containers.
Strain Heated Cooking Oil to Reuse
Also if you dont feel comfortable pouring from the fryer into the strainer, use something smaller to transfer the hot oil. I have a set of metal measuring cups, and will use one of those if I have to strain hot liquids, rather than pour directly from a large...
Hang Bath Mat to Dry
I put a spring loaded (tension) shower rod in the back of my shower, along the long wall. Its a perfect place to hang the bath mat to dry...along with anything else that has to hang in the shower. I had hook/hanger for shower poofs, and since I dont have a...
Make Oats Overnight
The groats are the steel-cut oatmeal, correct? I like the steel-cut more than the rolled oats, but they take a while to cook on the stove top. Making them in a slow cooker makes it a lot easier. Ive made grits in the slow cooker over night as well. I use the...
Velveeta Cheese Fudge
Ive been trying to remember the amounts to make this. Ive always been afraid to make real fudge...even with a thermometer Im worried about getting the right temperature. This recipe is so easy...it also works well to microwave the cheese and butter. But be...
Sweet and Sour Curry Chicken
I just read a newspaper article on using slow cookers. An hour on the stovetop equals two hours on high or four hours on low in a slow cooker...so that would make this recipe an hour on top of the stove.
"Stained Glass" Baby Food Jars
Now there are also the little battery operated LED tea-lights that would work in something like this, without the risk of real flame.
Looking for Healthy Oatmeal Recipes?
I tried making oatmeal the other night, using chicken broth. I added some cooked mushrooms and a little diced cooked chicken. It seemed a little odd, thinking about it, but it was really good. Id like to try it with the steel cut oats, as opposed to the rolled...
Home Remedy For Contact Dermatitis?
Im glad to see Im not the only person with a sensitivity to dust and newsprint. My fingers have some very very dry, cracked areas. The irritation comes and goes. When things are really cracking, Gold Bond ointment and bandaids are the only things that really...
