Hi,My goal is to reach 10,000 answers I WILL STOP ANSWERING AFTER THAT! WHY? I can not believe the rude rude responses. I have 40 plus years experience cooking. I am not saying I know it all but the advice I give is what I have learned trial and error. Over the years, I am willing to learn something new every day. To those that appreciate my answers, thank you. To those that are rude, Karma will get ya!! My mom was a fantastic chef. She lived in Sicily. Then came to America.She would cook with fresh foods.Grew A garden. Canned her own Tomatoes.I guess I was inspired by her.I went to the best military school. Cooked in many different settings. My experience helped me to learn about cooking. Cooking at home helped me to learn as well.as I would try different ways to prepare food.I supervised in a airline kitchen that prepared10,000 meals a day 24/7.Worked in 3 hospitals. A rehab center. I am retired now. I hope my experiences in food. Will help you My best to all. Take Care Joseph

  • MY FRIEND IGNORING ME?

    My friend whom I have known over 40 years, screens his phone calls.

    (We have known each other since 1966.)

    It happened before Christmas too. He never answered or returned phone call

    I hate his moods.

    His birthday is Jan 10th, do I send a birthday card?

    Or ignore his childish attitude? And still send the birthday card?

  • Antibiotic, Being A Vet the VA hospital wont prescribe unless I have a fever?

    I usually suffer from bad colds bronchial infections.

    The VA wont prescribe antibiotics unless I have a fever

    I usually get a sore throat then it progresses to a bad

    condition like bronchitis.

    I usually use zinc lozenges when I get a sore throat.

    I have tried gargle with salt, listerine,or Peroxide.

    I was searching the internet for alternative cures

    for colds sore throats etc.

    I found there are fish antibiotics I could buy

    without prescription.

    I also have looked at pill identitys for pills (photos)

    The same exact ones I buy for fish are listed

    I have heard all kinds of explanation that the pills

    are not pure or could case side effects.

    Needless to say at the onset of a sore throat I

    use the zinc tabs and fish antibiotics usually in 2 days

    I am cured. I have done this for almost 5 years and

    avoid the VA.

    Sorry to say, sometimes the VA sucks!! They use primary care

    people to exam you and prescribe meds.

    It is rare a real doctor exams you!!

    Appreciate the input.

    Thanks all

    Appreciate the comments
