| RE: Homemade Ice and Heat Packs Using Rice |
|
I just use cheap white rice in a new tube sock. I close the end with a rubber band- tightly. We have some we've used for three or four years. I guess you could add essential oil in a favorite scent- I will try that. We make pretty big ones so it can take two or more minutes to heat up nicely in the microwave. ... View related article. |

| RE: Easy Indian Food Recipes |
Ditto on Trader Joe's. I think most of their Indian stuff is a bit more expensive than $1, but well worth it. Try their boxed (foil pouch inside) Palaak Paneer. It's got spinach and paneer (cheese), I throw it on some brown rice and nuke it for 2 minutes- incredible. Pretty spicy hot though, which I do not like, but no matter I'm totally addicted.
There is a fantastic recipe in The Passionate Vegetarian cookbook by Cresent Dragonwagon called Stuffed Eggplant Fillets Gujerati-Style (pp.406-407). It takes some time to make because there are some steps involved, but the result is well worth the effort. I have adapted the recipe to my own taste, and even my 70-something parents were so enamored of it that they bought the ingredients and made it at home ! ... View related article. |

| RE: Newborn Kitten Eyes Not Opening |
I agree that a vet needs to be consulted about your kitty's eyes- he may or may not need some antibiotics. Also, be aware that fleas can actually cause fatal anemia very quickly in tiny kittens. Bathe your kitten, using mild soap (NOT flea soap), and be sure to keep him warm during and after his bath. Do not let him get chilled even for a minute.
Good luck. ... View related article. |

| RE: Making Good Brown Rice |
Here's Alton Brown's brown rice method- never fails, and I make a lot of brown rice!
1 1/2 cups brown rice
2 1/2 cups water

I teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rice in 8" square glass baking dish. Bring water, salt and butter to boil. When water boils pour it over rice, stir to combine and cover the dish lightly with aluminum foil. Bake on middle rack of oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. ... View related article. |

| RE: Use a Tally Counter When Grocery Shopping |
Fantastic idea. I tried this once with an old plastic grocery tally counter thing (my mother used one in the 60's) but it kept jamming and I sort of forgot about it. I am going to pick up one of these today.
We have been spending way too much on groceries- it just seems to creep up higher every week. How do those on low and/or fixed incomes do it? ... View related article. |
