my sister and i had a debate tonight as to whether u should place lamb in lime and salt or not. i personally think that you only need to do that to white meat and many ppl agree that with lamb(and beef) there is no need for soaking in lime/vinegar and salt. so i was wondering, how do i explain that through science?

do excuse the typos. i forgot to recheck :(

i always knew my husband loves to dance. however after we were married, he enrolled in this dance group that travels every year to compete. we're on our second baby. when he left last december i was pregnant now when he leaves again this december our baby'll be 6 months. i dont wanna be unfair but i think hes taking too much time away from us, because apart from the travelling he has to practice 2 to 3 nights every week. he works so on those days we dont get too see him at all cuz practice is like 3 hours after work and when he comes home hes tired and sleepy. right now im almost 39 weeks pregnant and he is not here. i get braxton hicks contractions alot daily and my back usually feels as if it is on fire and theres noone to rub it. i told him he needs to ease off from the dancing, its just a hobby, hes not getting paid, furthermore, he has to look for money every year to go to england that can help with our family. i've asked him to spend more nights home as the baby can come anytime and it feels like im being ignored. i got angry and told him if he leaves the country this december i wont be here when he gets bk. so im asking again...am i being unreasonable?

here in barbados, we appreciate rotis but from what i understand, we dont do a traditional roti because our local restaurants use a soft flour dough for the roti. anyway, id like to know if anyone knows how to make a nice, soft, flour skin for a roti. no peas please. thanks!

i followed the recipe with the vanilla and sugar but I was disappointed at the lack of taste. After all that i added it just tasted like fresh milk. Yes I whipped it to stiff peaks and yes I bought only the best heavy whipping cream. Somehow I was expecting the taste I get when you go in those larger supermarkets and buy a cake, but it tasted so different. I was working at a bakery once and i saw the baker use a big blue can of whip cream, whipped it and added nothing else. I never tasted their whip cream though, and i never saw that can before on supermarket shelves. cld it be that professional businesses do whipped cream a totally different way? and can I get that same result at home somehow?

i have whipped cream but its the light one used with fruits etc. i want to use it to top a cake. what can i add to it to make the texture better for cakes?

using a cuisinart 1 1/2 quart icecream maker here... Im seeing recipes that tell you to take it out of storage and use and some say freeze before use. do i HAVE to freeze this bowl? if so, whats the absolute minimum freeze time?

i'd like to sell different cakes from at home. if i cld pull this cake off i know i'd get alot sold around this time. this recipe is from a book called luscious berry desserts by lori longbotham. was hoping someone might have the book or know a similar recipe.

thnx everyone!!!

Ok, so I get this feeling where i fall into a bit of a trance of focus (not intentionally) however, during that time I feel like i am split up and there are different types of me, therefore i feel like i am more than one person at the same time. yes its a scary feeling and im sick of it. open to any suggestions. thnx in advance. I never took illegal drugs nor do i drink. I was just always a ponderer and i usually study situations, ppl, almost anything. So since i was little i wld occasionally get that really weird feeling especially when i am alone and there is noone to keep my mind occupied. it just drifts.

i have posted about this before but the when i googled the suggestions i found that it wasnt really me. i had my first visit to the physciatrist last week and she was unable to diagnose it but we agreed to meet regularly and that i keep my mind employed with good thoughts. thanks for all your help!!!

1. someone thinks/studies things too much 2/ gets the feeling they're gonna go crazy 3/ HUGE fear of being alone ESPECIALLY in a sealed or enclosed area eg elevators (i even used to get nightmares about being buried alive) 4. feeling a sense of unreality or even detached from oneself at times 5. usually focused on one thing and wld tend to block out the world altho not intentionally 6. worse part is when they go away, as long as i think about them again they start all over (which is why the desire arised to have family/friends close to keep my mind occupied).

I believe this cld even be 2 disorders. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ps. small country, shrinks arent in abundance and they are hardly ever in as ppl dont spend a bunch on mental health.

i used to work at this 5 diamond hotel in the restaurant and one of the things on their menu i loved was this beef tenderloin. i was told its very pricey but i'd like to do it for my anniversary. well they use this dark sauce on it and it was sooo lovely. can anyone suggest what it might have been? i heard of red wine sauce and black bean sauce so far. do u know any other dark sauces for beef tenderloin? if not im guessing its one of those. i just wld have liked a variety of options before i start.

are there any pills that you can take for weight gain? i use ensures, i eat more, but whatever i do i just cant seem to gain an ounce. im 90 pounds at 21 years old. ppl constantly ask me if my little girl is my sister. lol. help!

ps i gained 40 pounds when i was pregnant and as soon as my daughter was born it dropped right off. i mean in days it was gone. fortunately nothing sagged but, sheesh!!! i need some fat!!!

im getting fed up of some ppl out here looking at marriage as an excuse to have a ring and a big party. these are the ones who are cheating then in shock to learn that they're being cheated on as well, the ones who cheat with their partner's friends and family and the like. im sick and tired of it and i need a break! okay? Is there anyone, who like me, is happily married with a clean conscience and good news to share? Its about time we look at the goodness in marriage and not just the few hills to be climbed.

anything good? pregnancy? newlyweds? lots of years married and still stong? please share...

i'll select the best answer/story today.

she is 31/2 years old and since im a housewife, i decided to keep her at home with me til next year when shes 41/2. thats the age most schools here in Barbados take kids in unless there is a nursery attached to the school but the schools in our area dont have that so she must start next year. she leans everything very quickly because she is very keen about learning new things. she can spell and write her first and last name, draw, etc. I just need some advice on what i can do in terms of teachng her so that when she goes to school she will be just as advanced as the other kids. For the majority of the day she watches Dora alot and I feel like I am holding her back. I plan to take her to town, buy more books and make sure I read them daily. She loves books. Any other suggestions?

that internet-based game called SILK ROAD ONLINE??? or hooked on a game at all? I thought someone else must have my experience since they are millions of players in that game at a time all conversing with each other from all over the world. Lol. If you do, is it annoying to you? Or do you actually play along? and do the game levels EVER end??? I dunno i just might play it and suprise him...im giving this situation some thought...

He loves my cooking and he especially loves when I try new foods even if they dont come out like I wanted. So i just wanna suprise him when he gets in from work in a few hours. Also, i'd prefer to bake something with cheese in it. im in the cheesie, bakie mood today lol. Help me get creative!!! Thnx in advance :)

my religion isnt necessarily into the traditional stuff that most ppl wld make a big fuss about and so i thought it wld be nice to plan a non traditional and creative wedding. I'll be wed this saturday evening and i'm hoping for a song apart from the traditional tune everyone and their momma walks the isle to. Thnx so much guys!!!

I am so terrified of kissing my fiance at our wedding before ppl, and we're being married 9th aug 2008. I'm freaking out constantly. The monster part is cutting the cake, i was told i have to leave a piece out and he has to eat the rest and kiss me. I'd rather do that in our honeymoon suit and not infront of everybody. Its just my nature. Plz help.
