Think I know the answer, but... I was going to bake cookies for my husband, took the cold butter out of fridge, and placed in microwave, not to use it, but just turned the surface light on beneath it, so it would warm the butter gently (micro is an over-the-stove type). Yeah, I forgot about it, and it half melted. Is it now unusable for the cookies (I re-chilled it)?

You my dear, are a master of the understatement, lol.

My Onyx would have totally done this, if she had opposable thumbs. Nothing was off the table when she was hungry. Thos little baseboard doorstop spring thingys?? >boing<>boing<>boing<

Very nice @DearEvette!

Just read that Walmart, the bastion of culinary delights, will be offering Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream. hidden-valley-ranch-ice-cream-van-leeuwen-review

I'm also peeved (ahem) when ceramics contain dangerous lead levels. Some links for your perusal, germane to our convo: consumerreports.org/lead/why-you-should-test-your-vintage-or-imported-dishes-for-lead lead-in-corelle-dishes corelle-responds-to-viral-post-about-its-vintage-dishware-lead-exposure It seems like all of the lead in Corelle links circle back to one or very few sources,bloggr/s, so again, do your homework and decide for yourself. If I were actively using any of it, I would try to have it third-party tested for peace of mind.

In my case, I stopped using the singular item and disposed of it because A) I didn't want to take a chance (hubs has enough problems), and B) it didn't have real value, sentimental or monetary, to justify keeping it around. Anyone that is unsure about items they are using should certainly do their own research to take it further. I wonder if local health departments could help with the lead testing/credibility?

Similar lead stories, with similar lack of hard evidence was swirling around about Corelle ware also. I had exactly one plate that was a bit sentimental (but not enough to keep) that I threw away rather than take a chance. (It was my husband's baked potato plate - don't ask, as he has an incredible baked potato ritual that he puts himself through in order to eat one).

I don't really care much about the DST debate either. I'm fairly confident that if a permanent non-changing bill were passed, it would be followed shortly thereafter by a chorus of bitchers about that as well. It's who we are now.

I'm not understanding the correlation.

Conversely, at my tallest I was 5'11", and my comfort heel (2" to 2-1/2") inseam was 32"-33". 31" was my all around go-to. When I see "talls" listed with 34" inseams, I'm often wondering how many WNBA players they serve, lol.

Not too often (ever?) that wet goes directly into flour, but hey, there might be 5 recipes in the history of baking where this would be helpful, lol. I kind of love it for those 5, so long as your measuring vessel doesn't have a thick wall.

...for money basically. There's a name for that. Whether real or scripted, allowing oneself to be portrayed in that manner doesn't say much for one's character. But that's just me.

Very sweet!

Spotted this in another forum. Thought maybe someone here would have a tip.

Sorry you're going through that. Ugh! --------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully, a feline version is in the works.

You may have discovered the reason for prunes. 🧐

I'm so sorry.
