I just received 5 English cucumbers and do not know what to do with them other than slice and eat. Any ideas?

JennyLeah One of my favorite things to do with cucumber is to add it to water. You know, kind of like adding lemon to water? It's just as good, but different. Crisp, cool, and very refreshing. It's also nice if you add a little sprig of fresh mint, but just cucumber...

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win...

JennyLeah I think the person who needs to drop out is Howard Dean. Really, how dare he say that? The party isn't divided because of this race, the race is divided because of the party! Howard Dean's bias is clear in his response to Florida and Michigan (which, for...

I love bacon sandwiches especially first thing in the morning on really soft white bread, oh yum they really are food of the gods, do you agree?

JennyLeah My two favorite sandwiches in the world both have bacon. One would be a classic BLT - on toasted sourdough bread, with real mayonnaise (homemade if you can swing it), especially with garden fresh tomatoes and a crisp, peppery lettuce like romaine or...

One research seems to think so. One of the plants, Harmal, found in the desert, has been long revered by Jewish people as a curing plant that is also a hallucinogen. The brew can cause hallucinogen of light and is accompanied by...

JennyLeah I meant 40 years - which is why I repeated it further into the paragraph. Heaven forbid I typo... My point still stands, though. Firstly, what evidence do you have to prove that it would take only 10 days to cross the desert on foot? Secondly, you neglect...

JennyLeah To be fair, there is ample explanation in the story as to why it took 40 days. Bear in mind, either through faith or if you read it as fiction through the suspension of disbelief, that they were on foot. It may take ten days to cross the entire desert today it...

JennyLeah Nothing is ever better than a homemade, from scratch, confection, baked with love and the attention to detail that only Grandmother's can afford. My maternal grandmother made some of the best pies and cookies in the world (pies were her specialty, and...

JennyLeah That's awesome. Both sets of my grandparents lived out of state (in different states) from us when I was growing up, so I saw them only once a year. My dad's parents lived in New York and came to visit for the winter holidays (we're Jewish, but celebrated...

JennyLeah My mother-in-law attempted to train one of her dogs to use a litter box - even bought one of the over priced boxes and a huge bag of dog litter to do it, but it didn't work out. He was a stubborn doggie, Paco was. He preferred the carpet in the dining room to...

JennyLeah Corner stores like the ones you described don't exist quite the way they used to. It's sad, isn't it? They always smelled yummy and the food was so much fresher. I guess they just can't compare in terms of turnover as the larger grocery chains these days,...

JennyLeah LOL! That's an awesome story, dreamy1! I remember that happening more than once when I was a kid too. In fact, when I'm home with my parents, it still happens today! My mom knows that if she's going to make egg salad if I'm around, to throw an extra egg in the...

When my son was living at home, I always used Tide.If I used anything else he would get a rash. When he left home, it was instinct just to get Tide. But then I noticed some friends were using something less expensive and I decided...

JennyLeah It's so funny to me that your son would get a rash if you used a brand other than Tide, because Tide has always given me a terrible rash! I have horribly sensitive skin, though. I still use "baby" detergents, which are crazy expensive, but they save me the...

JennyLeah I love cookbooks. In fact, simply saying I love cookbooks does not begin to convey how strongly I feel for them. I have a good sized collection, and I'm always - let me repeat that so it gets the emphasis it deserves: ALWAYS - on the lookout for new ones. I...

I had never tried to cook anything with wine until about 12 years ago. I watch a lot of cooking shows on TV, and most of them contain at least one recipe that uses wine. I decided to do some experimenting with wine cookery, and...

JennyLeah The taste of a food, let alone a complete dish, is made up of so many different flavor compounds that are released in the cooking process. Some are water soluble, which means that if you cook them in water, the water will taste like those, some are fat...
