Have just made a Beef Chilli-con carne. The recipe said 1 Tablespoon of Chili powder, which I put in. It now emerges that it should have said 1 TEASPOON of powder. I don't want to waste the meal so does anyone know how to "tone down" the heat of it? I know having Yoghurt as a side dish helps as you're eating it but we don't like our Chilli too hot to start with.

I'm in dispute with a friend of mine about Tequila Slammers. He says a Tequila Slammer is a shot of tequila; a slice of lime and some salt. Lick the salt, down the shot then bite on the lime. I say that a Slammer is a shot of Tequila in a shot glass with Champagne or sparkling wine carefully poured on top, then with your hand covering the top of the glass, slam it down on a hard surface then drink the mix down in one go.

Web sites and cocktail books give a mix of both definitions, so which one of us is correct?

I've been told to put Olive Oil between them with a small brush. Has anyone tried this, does it work?

When I try to load up certain programes I get an Error message telling me that "files or parts of files are missing" and MSINET.OCX crops up.

I've tried Googling it but I keep being told I have a Registry problem and that I must buy software to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix this for free please??

Could someone please tell me what are the two ingredients that go into making a Snakebite drink? I am having a disagreement with someone about this however, we both agree on one of them being Cider.

I wont say what the two alternatives are for fear of getting a 50/50 split in the answers.

Can you help?

...when you think you've finished. Well recently I found it lost and alone on the street. It was in great condition and looked healthy. So my question is...Did any of come across it and how did you treat and care for it, as it was in such good condition?

Thank you in advance from me and teaspoon.

To get the ball rolling I 'll tell you mine.

Several years ago at about this time I split from my girlfriend with whom I had live for a number of years. I moved out of her house and into a 1 bedroom flat.

My TV was a small portable one with an indoor aerial which would only pick up 1 channel. I had no xmas tree, no decorations, my xmas dinner was a microwave Turkey platter and no pud.

No-one knew my new address so no xmas cards or prezzies. My ex would not even accept the prezzie I had bought her!

I went to bed about 8pm 'cos the only tv channel I could get was so boring.

However i've been happily married to a wonderful lady (not the ex) for just over 3 years and my last 3 christmases have been great.

A blonde driver in a sports car accidentally force a truck driver to swerve and almost crash. The truck driver made the blonde stop and get out of her car. He drew a circle in the dirt and told her to stand in it and not to move from it.

He then kicked her car several times but when he looked back at her she was smiling. He then smashed all the windows but on looking back he saw she was laughing. Incensed at not being able to upset her he slashed all the tyres, peed on the driver's seat and wrenched the steering wheel off. When he looked back she was laughing so much she was nearly falling over.

The truck driver said "What on earth are you laughing at?"

The blonde replied "Every time you looked away I stepped out of the circle!"

Why do you in America pronounce similar words differently? I refer to the 2 States you have with similar names.

Kansas is pronounced "Can- sas". So why is Arkansas prounounced "Ar-can-saw" and not "Ar-can-sas?

It was my favorite and I'm lost and heart-broken without it.
