  • Question about cooking corn tortillas?

    I'm using instant corn masa flour and an 8" tortilla press. I heat them in the skillet until brown spots appear and fill them with enchalida mix and bake them at 375 for 15 minutes. They come out hard and dry. By the way, I saw a video of how to make the corn tortillas, and they are supposed to puff up in the skillet. Mine remain flat. What am I doing wrong?

  • question about nesting cockatiels?

    I have 2 female cockatiels that are chronic egg layers. THERE IS NO MALE BIRD PRESENT. I have a nesting box in the cage and they are in it most of the time. They will come out just to eat and get a drink of water. I have tried removing the nesting box to see if they would stop nesting, but they just lay their eggs on the bottom of the cage. This behavior has just been in the last year, They are both around 10 years old.I miss them as pets and wonder if there is anything I can do to get them out of this stage. I do leave the clutch in the box to make them think that they are finished laying, but it does not work. What can I do?

  • Attention hair dressers. what is the best box color?

  • How long do cockatiels nest?

    I have 2 female cockatiels. One lays eggs in the Spring. she usually nests for around a month or so. This year the Winter started off warm, and she went into her nesting ritual thinking it was Spring. That was in December. When I noticed that she was showing signs of nesting, I made a nesting box for her and brought out last years eggs to make her think she has already laid a clutch. She is still nesting 4 months later. She comes out in the morning to eat and drink, but then goes right back into the box. I tried taking the box away, but she looks for it, and will try to find a dark corner to lay in if it is not there. I'm worried that she will stay in there permanently. Her droppings are still large and wattery which means that she is still in that mode. IS THIS NORMAL? What can I do to get her out of the box?

  • question about my cockatiel laying eggs?

    My 13 year old cockatiel is a cronic egg layer.(no male present) No matter what I do, she continues to lay a half dozen eggs each spring. I cut her daylight down, mist her every day, and take anything she can make a nest with out of the cage. When she starts laying, I put pervious eggs in the cage to make her think she has already laid a clutch, but it does not work. What can I do to make this stressful egg laying time easier for her?

  • how do you handle telemarketing calls?

    No matter what I do I am constantly bothered by scammers and telemarketing calls with IT numbers. These numbers are untraceable and most of the time you are unable to call back. I am on the "Do not call" list, but apparently it does not work. I get as many as 6-10 calls a day. I cannot stop them, so I'm looking for ways of annoying them. Any suggestions?

  • program does not respond when trying to edit photos.. please read entire question.?

    I have windows vista and IE and Google chrome. When I take digital photos, I use the highest pixel my camera can take, and have to resize them to be able to post them. For some reason when I right click the photo to resize it, the little circle goes around and around forever, and the program does not respond. I tried shutting off my computer to reboot it with no luck. Any suggestions? I've used IE and Google chrome seperately to open them up but it just won't work. Does Picasa have a resizing option? I can't seem to find it. Help!

  • I need advice on where to stay near Niagara Falls?

    I'm going to Niagara Falls in June and want to stay within a 10 minute drive of the falls. I does not matter if we stay in New York or Canada. We originally booked a room really near the falls and upon reading reviews of the hotel, it is across from a casino, and the biggest complaint was how noisy it was. Plus, it allows pets. I am an animal lover, but do not wish to be in a hotel with them.We are driving from Boston, so we will have a car. I'm not specifically asking for the name of a hotel. I'd like to know what nice towns are within a 10 minute drive of the falls. Thanks so much.
