Big bed in small bedroom?

0

I have a small house, but want to get a larger bed. Thinking mainly of a queen (which is 60×80). Would LOVE a king or cal king, but I just don’t see it working. The room would be all bed, no room for nightstands or anything I plan on getting a platform bed, so I am estimating it will add at least 10" to the width.

The room is 11.5ft x 9.5ft so it’s not very big I am curious as to how this might look in the end, so I was wondering if anyone had any pics of this type of scenario?

can’t eat spice!!! ideas on cookiing offal

0

soooo I love spices. But, chemo and my new experience with hemorrhoids forbids such deliciousness. So I’m looking for ideas on cooking offal without spice. Paprika is ok, but no ginger. I’m thinking a minced something in coconut oil on a skillet with some other veggies? onions, bell peppers?

thoughts?

and soups. I’m in a noodle soup phase and looking for good recipies. easy broth ideas too.

OO! and what’s the easiest bones to get marrow out of? I know in singapore they make this special meal made up of just these big pig bones. Also leg of lamb is good, but what’s a cheap something I can go to the butcher and get and bake in the oven. Actually, what’s the best way to cook bones to get the marrow out. Thanks =)

What are some meals you can freeze and microwave?

0

Has to be easy to make, fairly priced, and easy to eat as you only need a fork or spoon.
I do chicken bowls which are a knockoff of a local "healthy" fast food joint.

A little rice,
some frozen corn
a bunch of canned black beans
sauteed, grilled, baked, broiled, roasted, whatever, chicken breasts, cubed (about 1/4 cup)

Then cover, freeze, microwave, then top with some pico de gallo and maybe guac if you have it. Because of the beans it’s very filling, tastes fresh even when it’s been frozen, and is pretty low calorie/healthy.

Tips on finding a specific type of wine/bubbly?

0

My wife & I went to Jamaica few years back. I want to suprise her this xmas with a couple bottles of the wine/bubbly we drank out there (vow renewed, bla bla bla).

I’ve found the wine in a few spots, but it’s always sold out. I doubt any local carriers have it. I heard that there was a site (wine-??????.com) that you can look up the wines at and figure out where to buy it.

The bottle lists it as
Duveaux Royal
blanc de blancs
vin Mousseux

Locking in natural gas prices

0

I got an offer in the mail from my gas company, asking me if I want to lock in my natural gas prices at 73 cents/therm for 1 year. They are marketing that this will save me money. Is this kind of deal really designed to help the consumer or am I better off without this?
What is the standard rate? I’d also be sure that this isn’t part of a cost spreading thing where your winter costs will be less but your summer will be more due to usage variations because they use assumed usage to determine how to bill you and sometimes try to screw you in the end.

Crystal Light Flavors

0

I have really only had the lemonade and pink lemonade. I drink it a lot to add some spice to my water. My manager at work recently gave me Raspberry Ice and Peach Tea packets for me to try but I’ve never had these flavors before – has anyone else?
I know if aspartame is actually bad for you, then I’m doing to die really soon. I don’t like water, yeah I know, so I used to drink that all the time, and now I drink propel constantly.

Fruit punch was my favorite crystal light.
My son only likes Fruit Punch, known in our house as "red juice".

Plastic film insulator over your windows

0

I find that these film insulators work great during winter, I have never seen them promoted during summer to keep the cold AC air in. I don’t see why it couldn’t help you during summer. Anyone care to share their experience with these during summer?

Most people want the option of opening their windows to allow some air movement in the Summer months.

large-ish food processor under $100?

0

My wife really wants a food processor for Christmas. She wants something with 10-12 cup capacity. I can’t really afford the fancy KitchenAid $250 one, but I’m sure there’s gotta be a decent one for less, right?

I’ve seen a couple in stores, but have no idea what brands are good and what’s crap. Any suggestions?
the Oster 3212 gets a decent review from consumer reports. it is rated as a 10 cup capacity and costs $85 on amazon.com.

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth 70573H also gets a decent review and is a 14-cup capacity on the cheap.
