Have you tried bread machine (or rapid rise) yeast? It gets to work more quickly than regular yeast, and I've found it to be better when I use the bread machine. It's also possible your bread machine isn't giving the loaf enough time to rise. I usually mix the dough with the bread machine, then take it out and rise it on the counter before baking it in the oven. That way you have more control and can make sure it rises as much as the recipe specifies (usually double volume)
I think that Cuisinart is represented well in this list of top coffee makers. The DCC-1200 makes a great pot of coffee and offers a good level of value for money. I've tried out multiple brands and models of coffee makers over the years and I think that Bonavita BV-1800 could have entered this list easily. So could have the Technivorm Moccamaster. Anyway, overall I've found some good value options in this top.
Inaccurate information. Online classes can be synchronous (students and teacher attending together at a set time). There can be plenty of note sharing (google documents are often used) and group projects. This article is mostly silly. Online education has improved a lot, and I expect will be even better in a few years. Yes, there are some disadvantages, but for many people the disadvantages are fewer than in a traditional classroom.
Money is a placeholder for time. If I have the money I need, I can spend my time in the manner of my own choosing. If I don't have the money I need, I either have to change my "needs" or spend my time in the manner of someone else's choosing....for money of course.
Ecuador is a great choice! The local currency is the U.S. dollar, so you don't have to deal with any funny exchange rates. Most people know Quito but Cuenca is the city that is a haven for retirees from all around the world.
Hahaha, that made me laugh! I too was not fond of lentils, but having lots of vegos, vegans in my family (and a coeliac as well) I kept on playing until I found some.
Coming from an overly active family too, I like simple recipes that leave me loads of time for other things. This one os a favourite:
Best and easiest lentil patties - hope you like them!
1. Open 1 tin of brown lentils, strain and add to a bowl. Grate 2 small spuds, 1 carrot and one zucchini and add a finely chopped onion. Add 2 eggs (can find alternatives for vegan), mix well, cover with cling wrap and store in fridge until ready to cook. Preheat oven, line a pizza tray or similar with baking paper. Add flour to prepared vege mix, enough so that the mixture holds shape and you can drop very large tablespoons of mixture onto the tray. Drizzle with oil, pop into a moderate oven and bake until browned, turning once. Serve with gravy of choice, my fave is mushroom. Hope you enjoy!
I rarely shop at the mall. I don't like having to drive out there, park, deal with the crowds, and then take more time and energy browsing for want I want. I buy most of my clothes and shoes online from brands in which I know my sizing or have the option to return for free in a store or ship back for free. The selection online is bigger (especially for someone petite like myself) and the prices are often better. I also get more rewards from my credit card for buying things via certain retail sites. But I do like browsing at outlets and Target.
How do I avoid that "yeasty" smell and flavor in the fully cooked loaf? I just made my first bread in a bread machine. I've often experienced this "off" flavor with others' homemade breads, and now in my own. What simple change will avoid this?
I'd like to add: "does that make sense?" Can be construed good or bad, but mosyly leaves a negative taste in your mouth..., as if you need it explained like a child and are being asked if it makes sense...
These are great pointers, Joe! A colleague of mine once used the word "whatever" to our boss, and words can't describe how much it angered our boss. If you're in a professional setting, you're going to have to act accordingly if you don't want to get your self in trouble.
Unless you involved the police I see not need for you to give in and move. Usually when the law is involved or an expensive fine is in the mix, people will give in.
Recently my neighbors on the other side of my fence had a graduation party from 7pm to 11:00pm The Deep Bass Music was deafening. My wife and I returned late that evening at 10:00pm but several other neighbors were fit to be tied about the music.
The troops gathered(four of us)and we made our way to the noisy neighbors. One of my neighbors went off and immediately had four parting females screaming her. I calmed down the situation as before from past. The noisy neighbors recognized me and said they would turn down the music. Interesting how the males of the party simply watched in the distant and let the ladies do the negotiation. Well it did not work.
Six complaints were made to the local police but true to their nature, the police considered the complaint non-harmful and simply put it on city record. You can bet the paper work will either be trashed or stay in the file system for eternity.
Noisy neighbors have no class at all. They could care less about other people's feelings and think the world revolves around them. When the alcohol begins to talk for them the later is true. All I can say is the noisy neighbors of __________court will grow up or be swallowed up by the earth. :)
Yes, I do shop at our one and only mall. Sometimes for no other reason than to get in a good walk in inclement weather. About 50% of the stores are closed. If it weren't for 3 anchor stores, JCPenney (much worse than in the past), KMart (Not much) and Beall's (best of the three, but expensive). There are 2 shoe stores and a Burke's variety discount along with 2 Chinese , 1 Mexican, 1 Italian (of sorts), 1American (of sorts) food joints. Not to forget Zales, which I do not frequent at all, a hair dresser, "get buff" supplement store, and and 2 cheap trinket stores. Vow, how exciting!
if you ever get bored facetime a freind , and if not since it's summer invite some of your friends over for a party or water balloon fight or slip and slide.
Just a quick note, I am sort of a packrat and I use whatever I find when I need something for my yard or garden. One of my neighbors wrecked thier camp trailer so I hauled it to my yard and took out the fresh water tanks and the water pump.(sold the rest for scrap) I put everything together with some old hoses that I had and wired up the motor to the battery of my lawn tractor. Now I have a 28 gallon fertilizer sprayer and am going to use your tonic formula on part of my 5 acres of lawn.
I will let you know how I do.
Not really - I tend to do online shopping on Amazon only!

Agreed! It's up to YOU, the person making a statement, to be confident that what you're saying does, in fact, make sense!

Scissors are great for cutting pizza & chances are you already have a large pair !

Ronda, thanks for sharing your thrifting finds. It sounds like you've literally made a business out of it! Good luck with your venture.

i love adding peanut butter to my hummus as a replacement for tahini. it gives the same creaminess and nuttiness in my opinion. give it a try!
