Do you eat left-overs to save money on food?

alindahaw @alindahaw (1219) • Philippines 23 Jun 08

My husband used to hate eating left-overs but with the onset of the "food crisis", he changed his opinion. A couple of months ago, we stopped throwing our left-overs on the garbage bin after every mean and save them for the next...

Lizzie_PK_Swann We have pretty much always eaten the leftovers. I often try to make extras so my husband has food to take to work the next day or so. He prefers warm food sometimes, and at least he has something to eat then. I really like to make large batches of homemade...

What is your opinion on the recent Incredible Hulk movie?

koharukusumi @koharukusumi (1539) • Malaysia 22 Jun 08

I watched Incredible Hulk with three of my friends recently. I enjoyed parts of the movie. I love the special effects and the 'you don't like me when i am angry' moments. But the storyline was too predictable. I really love...

Lizzie_PK_Swann I saw it today and really enjoyed it. I was tensed up through the whole thing though, I noticed. Just waiting for something to happen. It was a bit of an edge of your seat type of action movie. I was really impressed with Ed Norton's job with the character. I...

What relative are you closest to?

Amber @AmbiePam (93927) • United States 21 Jun 08

Not talking about closest as in which relative lives closest to you, but which relative do you have the best connection with. For me it would be my mom, no doubt. But others have been reared by grandparents, or perhaps they were...

Lizzie_PK_Swann I'm not really sure which of my relatives I'm closest to. My Mom seems to be sometimes, and my only brother at other times. It often depends upon the subject that is under discussion or what we are doing. My Dad and I used to be close, and when I had kids he...

Egg experts! I need advice on how to peel eggs without losing half the egg.

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 21 Jun 08

I dread hard-boiling eggs because I always lose a lot of the egg when it sticks to the shell when I peel it. Are there any secrets you know on how to do this without taking egg with the shell? I'm desperate! I want to make...

Lizzie_PK_Swann My Mother-in-law is a head cook in a nursing home, and she always advises me to put the eggs in the water cold and then let it come to a boil. When they come to a boil put the timer on for 10 minutes. After the timer goes off immediately cool them under cold...

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5490) • United States 28 Apr 08

Do you wear clothes that are for comfort or for the looks?

jpso138 @jpso138 (7851) • Philippines 12 Jun 08

Phreakuency @Phreakuency (33) • United States 9 May 08

Personally I think this was one of, if not the best movies, that I have ever seen. Memorable characters are important, but so too is the fact that the characters have their own flaws. What are your opinions?
