  • Can I use San Pellegrino orange meaning the drink that's like sparkling orange juice in place of sparkling water and tempura?

    all I have is either tapwater or San Pellegrino. I heard you can mix water with lemon juice as a substitute for sparkling water in your temple but could I just use Sab Pellegrino orange because I'm gonna make salmon and I don't know if that flavor would go very well I was curious do you think that's enough or what I just want to use water and lemon juice? I can do that I've got water in the fridge that's pretty decently ice cold and I could mix lemon juice but I don't know I'm curious what people think I've only made tempura one time a couple weeks back and I bought pomegranate flavored club soda or seltzer water or whatever and I just got to I don't know that's why I'm asking and I can't find anything on the Internet it tells me. I am so disappointed that this feature is going away because this website is the only place to get some answer sometimes. there's quora but its just not as reliable.

    Can somebody help me come up with an idea for a lid to my dads outdoor cooktop table?

    So my dad has this table that I divided here in this post and fit is basically a table he made an on the table it has his condiments and a miniature George Foreman sized flat top cover he doesn't like having the big one he used to have that was commercial size so he got rid of it and now has this little tabletop one and it works for him better so he's gonna put the table out on the patio and the little cooktop on top of it in the corner and then have the rest of the space for his condiments on the table and underneath will be his propane tank etc. and I was thinking what about a lid similar to what I just posted along with the pic. Someone created a sloping lid for their Vivariam and I thought that would be great that reminds me of like a grill lid and I thought that would be great something of that nature that's why I provided both pictures because I was thinking table with a hood type lid and I thought maybe you guys could look at the photos and compare but I don't see anything that big big enough for this table or that would be deep enough. it might be something we have to create DIY but he's probably not wanting to DIY he's probably wanting something that's already done and he can just attach I assume. but what are some ideas of places to look is there such a thing that big I know grills have hoods or whatever the lead is called and it's that shape but I don't know of anything like that big enough for this table but that's kinda what I was gonna suggest to him. Any ideas?

  • can i turn Hojarascas (mexican shortbread cookies) into mexican chocolate by adding chocolate?

    I love this new line of cookies from Siete. I have autoimmune and I am limited to what I can eat. I found this brand and its amazing! I love to snack on their cookies. I recently made cookie balls with their Mexican chocolate cookies. I love them. I mixed the Mexican chocolate cookies with cream cheese in the food processor and made balls and froze and then covered in white chocolate. basically like truffles. I am finding it hard to find them because they are so incredibly popular but I have a friend I work with asking me to give her the recipe and where to buy. I was thinking what about using the other cookies Siete makes. They make a Mexican shortbread but i was thinking, if that was all I could find couldn't I just take that and add some hot cocoa mix? I haven't had Mexican short bread cookies but looking at home made cookies couldn't I just get hot chocolate and pour some into it and follow the recipe of 30 cookies and 8 oz cream cheese blended up in food processor and rolled in balls and freeze and coat in white chocolate? I am trying to get close to the Mexican chocolate flavor here if I cant find the Mexican chocolate cookies. I feel that Mexican shortbread cookies are close in flavor minus the cocoa part. I assume.  thank you for any advice in how to go about it. everyone raved about my cookie balls that I made and want more. I am trying to get close to the flavor.

  • Is there such thing as crockpot you can program with your phone?

    I've seen some digital ones but nothing like programmable with your phone. I was thinking what if you were not able to get home in time and it was a little late to turn off your crockpot you could just use your phone and tell your phone to turn off the crockpot but I've never heard of that so I was just curious if anybody has made that.

    Can a wasp nest grow in the ground?  ?

    I found a wasp nest in the ground and I kicked it over. It has a tail making me think it was made on the ground. Like the wasp was making the nest probably so he/she could come from the bottom outward toward the top? Idk I've heard of ground dwelling wasps but not like this. Because it rained last night it was a soggy nest. So it squished but it stayed solid. Like it was rubbery and had bounce when I stepped on it. But stayed solid.  I have a picture. Does anyone know what kind of wasp this is? I was thinking maybe a fungus that looks like a wasp nest but I couldn't find anything in a Google search. Thanks. Just curious. You can see the tail in the photo that makes me think a wasp built this in the ground. My dog has a single spot she LOVES to go potty and always potties in the same direction isn't it north-south that they face? They go potty on the north-South axis I believe the they sense the earth's magnetic field. Anyway. I pick up.after her but she likes it by one Bush usually ans all day yesterday never saw this nest in the ground. Interesting.

  • Can anybody tell me if Paul Cardall signs of affection has been featured in a movie? ?

    Paul Cardall signs of affection. Has anybody heard of this song and if not can you listen to it and tell me where I have heard this before ? Like you're not gonna know my brain but, at the same time what movies have this song been featured in? If you go on to IMDb and look at Paul cardall his music has been featured in a few different movies in different various ways like theme songs or end credits but I haven't seen any of those movies. I know I've heard this somewhere unless I'm thinking of a song that this sounds similar enough to to be confused with. Can anybody tell me if that's a possibility and if so what song am I thinking of? because I keep thinking this sounds familiar and I'm not getting anywhere when I look up this song or Paul cardall in general so I might be thinking of a different song. But I don't know which one. but I feel like I've heard this in a movie somewhere.

  • So can anybody help me figure out how to turn off the stupid autoplay feature on Facebook Uno?

    So I'm playing Uno cards with friends with three of my friends we've been doing this for the last few nights and we played for hours after dinner and tonight everybody decided about 1230 that we were out for the night and we all like mutually said at the same time strangely LOL but after that it was about 1240 when I got a notification that one of them started a game again and at the exact same time another one of them started again and I was thinking okay if they want to do one more game that's fine but then I'm totally gonna have to be out . So I joined and we started playing and then I thought it was odd so I said hey are you guys in the game or is this for not you ? And they said no we are out for the night I was like okay maybe Facebook auto started the game I don't know but anyway good night hit me up tomorrow. So is there a way that I can change it to not do that ? Is there like a settings within that particular game to make it not act like it's us starting a game on me or not like I don't appreciate the game posing as us without permission and then telling everybody else that say Sarah started a game and everybody thinks Sarah started a game for and she's not even on Facebook anymore it was just the game starting for her . Can we turn that off?

  • Can plantains be eaten raw? ?

    I have always heard that you don't want to eat them all because they are very fibrous and kind of not the same as eating a regular banana the texture is kind of gross the flavor is kind of gross but in all my high school cooking teacher said you don't want to do that you would probably learn quickly never to do it again if you try and we all took a little piece and said that's nasty you weren't kidding . But last year I had this plantain and it kind of got sorta yellow but it wasn't all the way yellow and I liked it raw as I was picking the pieces to make chips and I thought I wonder if this candy edible raw you just probably don't want to eat much of it because it's very fibrous from what I've heard but I've always wondered can you? So is anybody know? If I didn't feel like cooking a Plaintain and I just wanted to eat pieces of it and then save the rest how would I go about that because I hate regular bananas in that they are too sweet but I like that a Plaintain is not as sweet even when it turns yellow so I can handle it. so if this is not okay I feel it because I don't want to hurt myself or get sick but that's why I'm asking because the Internet really doesn't tell you a whole lot yes or no on it

  • Is there any other way to bring up a keyboard on my Dell Pro tablet without hitting the keyboard icon in my taskbar?

    Being that it's touchscreen it works so incredibly close to my android phone that I'm kind of expecting it to do some of the things that my android phone does. likethe keyboard has talk to text capabilities and when the keyboard comes up I can swipe my words instead of hunting and pecking the words so that makes it very much like my phone and I love that. But one thing I wish it would do and I don't know why it doesn't but when I clicked inthis box to typeit automaticallypulled the keyboard up on the bottom of my phone screen by default I didn't have to go find a keyboard icon and click on it. When I click in myweb address bar with my fingerit does the same thing it automatically recognizes that's a place to type something and your keyboard pops up on your phone why does it not do that on my Dell Pro tablet? when I tap my finger anywhere like the address bar on the web or I'm on Facebook and I want to write something to someone on their wall, nothing happens I have to actually physically go on to my taskbar on the bottom of my screen and hit the keyboard icon to pop up the keyboard . Is there not a way to be able to make it do like my phone where I tap my finger in a text box and the keyboard automatically pops up all by itself recognizing that I'm tappibg in a text box? that's one of the most annoying things and that's probably the only complaint about this tablet. Any help is appreciated.

  • How to wear arthritis compression gloves with a ganglion cyst?

    I have swollen fingers sometimes with my arthritis and thought the Dr arthritis compression gloves would work. Never wore them yet bc I have not been.so bad since I bought them. If I see swelling and yet don't get pain can I still wear them while sleeping? Also even if I don think I'm swollen would it still be a good idea to wear them? Also yesterday I had ganglion cyst pain that was making sharp electric like zings for my arthritis bc I have arthritis in same hand that has the cyst unfortunately. I believe the ganglion cyst puts pressure on tendons and lower hand hurts from it occasionally.   You know like when you get static cling from staticy clothes and then touch a doorknob and get shocked, that is the best I can think to describe how I feel zings in my hand sometimes. Like getting shocked when you're static charged but in my hand. Can I use the compression gloves while at work to help release pain? Or what? Should I only use while sleeping? Now just in case anyone  asks, I was told to buy these from Dr.

  • Can I still use apple cider vinegar in cooking recipes if there is a giant disk of vinegar mother at the top?

I need to use it for a bread recipe but I don't know how to use the vinegar now that the mother has floated to the top. when I bought the vinegar there wasn't a giant disc floating in my vinegar but now there is and I don't know how I'm supposed to use the vinegar now because I don't know if it's okay to get some of that mother in your food when I am making a bread recipe. or should I try to get the piece of mother out? who in the hell decided to call that thing mother?

  • Why are my pickles tasting spicy?

    So I have had a non-spicy pickle taste really spicy before and it kind of got me into resurging and I found that vinegar is really sensitive for some people like some people can be very sensitive to vinegar and feel like it's spicy especially when it comes to pickles but some other foods as well that are covered in vinegar and it's because they're sensitive to the vinegar and the vinegar messes with your senses and causes a false pain sensation for some people and I have pickles that are blind and calcium chloride, dill, natural spices, water, salt, garlic, and mustard seed, it might be the spices but I doubt it that's pretty standard Brian for pickles except for calcium chloride is usually gonna be replaced with vinegar but I'm wondering if calcium chloride is similar to the vinegar and how it reacts to the palate for some people. I mean all honesty here is that even possible? I don't vinegar as a false spiciness for some people but I don't know anything about pickling with calcium chloride I thought these were interesting pickles so I got

     them but they are kind of spicy sort of. there really super good pickles but for some reason they are very much more like sauerkraut than your typical pickle flavor and they also have a spiciness today and maybe that's their calcium chloride . I'd appreciate any information that would be kind of neat to know.

    I get a bump much like a canker sore sort of like. It's on the inside of my chin below my lip  on like the inside and it bumps my gums it doesn't hurt but I can feel it it's not painful it's not sore it doesn't look unsightly it's just a bump but I can feel it fast and it was triggered by the salad that I ate which consisted of coleslaw mix with Vidalia onion dressing and sunflower seeds. for about five minutes after eating the salad the sewer went away is that normal for? Can certain foods trigger something like that temporarily and what is that because it's not painful it's not funky like a canker sore but that's the only thing I can think of that would be a mouth sore. and I'm telling you it went right away five minutes after I ate the salad.

  • Can I use 2 % ketonozole shampoo on my face?

    I went to the dermatologist and she said I hadn't scorched dermatitis on my scalp.  I didn't have any on my face at the time but I did let her know that I do have whatever is in my scalp on my face sometimes whatever this thing is and but at the time I didn't exactly have it on my face at the moment of the appointment and so she didn't really look too hard at my face but she did look at my scalp and said yes you do have seborrheic dermatitis . And I didn't really push too hard to ask a lot of questions she also looked at my hands and said that I needed urea for my fingernails but she didn't really explain what form of urea. but I did research on seborrheic dermatitis if it could be on my face. I can see whatever is on my head climbing down at that very front of my hair down to my forehead going into my eyebrows. and it actually goes into my t zone onto my nose. so I thot maybe the sd could be on the face. and sure enuf this is what I read:

    Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect oily areas of the body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest.
