Are You Pro Peeps or Anti Peeps?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (49) • United States 22 Feb

Peeps are marshmallow abominations . . . err, I mean candies that were invented in 1953 in Pennsylvania. You wanna know what they're made of? Sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, food dyes and salt. They used to only come out at Easter...

Are you more frugal now than you used to be?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41113) 22 Feb

I didn't think it was possible, I have always considered myself to be frugal. I come from the school of the grandmother's who raised children during the depression, and lived by ''Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without''...

Anindita Sengupta With high inflation we have to be frugal. I buy as much items I need. If I buy more vegetables I cook them and keep them in the fridge to have them later.

No Water

Amber @AmbiePam (96131) • United States 21 Feb

Last night around 5pm our water was turned off. Of course, I tried to reach someone about when it would be turned back on as this was unexpected. At about 8pm we got a text from the complex telling us the water would be turned off...

Does making the bed matter?

Fleur @Fleura (31033) • United Kingdom 21 Feb

I get up in the morning and fold the covers down to air the bed - one of those old-fashioned pieces of wisdom that turns out to be backed up by modern science. Making the bed – i.e. putting the covers back in place right away –...

Anindita Sengupta Yes, it does for me. I want my bedsheet spread evenly on my bed and I do that every morning after I leave my bed. I don't wash my bedsheet everyday but every 10 days.

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3655) • India 20 Feb

Salt has been part of our cuisines for centuries by enhancing flavours and preserving food. Many cooks still consider it as essential seasoning as it brings natural taste to ingredients and balances flavours. In most dishes,...
