To be fair, one can have both at once; I am a
little distrustful of recipes that are too detailed
and prescriptive.

Some people can only cook that way.

I shake my head at such people but appreciate
their trying.

For recipes that are relatively loosey-goosey like
that, there shouldn't be a problem. For me, a
handful would be about 1/3 cup - maybe half a cup
if it was an ingredient I particularly favored.

My handful is probably about a quarter cup, maybe 1/3. If it were an ingredient I liked, and it didn't matter to the recipe, I'd add a bit
more also--like kicking up the spicing on a number of things.

Girl hands.

I would think, with your vision issues, it would be an issue. You'll just have to train yourself for better voice recognition, as one of

my > blind friends in college did.
Oh, no problem with that - that's how I cope
under normal circumstances anyway. It was a
little scary the other day, because my failing
eyesight made me conjure up Nicholas (deceased)
and Don Quimby (also deceased); also Tony and
Marcus, both of whom I knew would be absent. Of
course, it turned out to be people who vaguely
and superficially resembled those.

As long as those people weren't offended--realising your visual problems
lead to a "whoops, you're not who I thought you were" moment.

Let's just say I didn't say, whoops, I thought
you were dead.

The way I'd cope would be to get Stephen to decant
a box of powder into maybe pint containers, which
would be more manageable.

I'm still sticking with the tablets, and will understand if you rinse
dishes before using them.

But you're also sensitive to scents (scentsitive?),
so the problem should not be so great.

I'd rather dishwasher wash with no detergent at
all than one of the pillows.

Does it matter what brand is used?

I've been sticking with Finish.

And finished with sticking?

So far as I've eperienced, all of the pillows
stink. Most liquids but not all powders do as
well. If it were up to me, something labelled
fragrance-free would be the ideal.

These are sealed in a dissolving wrap, very little smell to them. But
yes, fragrance free would be best.

Word to the wise: don't use Cascade.

using the stuff is beneficial at all. Do the
rescued animals go on to live a normal life
(doubtful), and what's the eventual effect of all
that additional cleanser on the local ecology (I'm
betting on negative).

Ask a scientist, not me. (G)

It's doubtful that scientists have explored
this avenue yet - not just because they're
shortsighted (largely true), but such a study
would not be financially profitable.

Sigh!

Let's face it, only the manufacturer of Dawn
would be in a position to fund such research.
And guess what the results of such research
would be.

Title: Crusty Cheddar Bread

This looks good but I'd use extra sharp cheese, whole wheat flour

and > maybe a bit of mustard.
On, yeah, the sharpest Cheddar available.
Mustard, well, maybe.

It adds just a bit of something extra. I usually add a bit of spicy
brown mustard (the main one we buy) to macaroni & cheese.

Sounds reasonable.

Hi Michael,

To be fair, one can have both at once; I am a
little distrustful of recipes that are too detailed
and prescriptive.

Some people can only cook that way.

I shake my head at such people but appreciate
their trying.

At least they try.

For recipes that are relatively loosey-goosey like
that, there shouldn't be a problem. For me, a
handful would be about 1/3 cup - maybe half a cup
if it was an ingredient I particularly favored.

My handful is probably about a quarter cup, maybe 1/3. If it were an ingredient I liked, and it didn't matter to the recipe, I'd add a

Exactly! Not piano playingg hands; I can barely reach 7 notes,
stretching it.

I would think, with your vision issues, it would be an issue.

Hasn't really been an issue for me.

Quite so.

I don't intend to, as long as I can get what I prefer.

3 guesses but the first 2 don't count?

It adds just that little bit of something extra that makes people sit up
and say "that's really good!".
