Do you like to have pickles with your foods?

dreamhome @dreamhome (558) • India 24 Nov 11

Pickles are nothing but processed foods. Certain fruits or vegetables taste good when processed to pickles like lemon, mango, garlic etc. In my place, pickles are a good addition to the food. Though I do not have a big liking to...

carcher777 Pickles are actually pretty amazing, in that they contain no fat, cholestrol, carbs or calories. The only bad thing about them is the salt content. If they could somehow make a low salt pickle, it would be the perfect diet food!

5 responses

carcher777 Potatoes are amazingly flexible. I think that my personal favorite is peppered potato soup. I dice the potatoes into very small cubes, then I boil them in water, butter and black pepper. Right before the soup is finished I add some milk to make it creamy. This...

carcher777 I go through cycles. Usually I am casual about the house cleaning until it reaches a certain point. Then I will suddenly take a look around and say, "This mess has to go!" Then I will become a cleaning dervish for a couple of hours and I will make it very...

carcher777 I find financial news to be very addicting. I enjoy reading the business section of the newspaper daily as well as watching the money shows on television, such MSNBC and Fox Business Network. Sometimes reading about finance is even more fun than investing!

carcher777 I tend to like the firm, snack cheeses most. My all-time favorite is muenster, but I also enjoy gouda, edam, brick, cheddar and others. There are very few cheeses that I dislike, in fact.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 25 Jul 09

My daughter's friend had a disgusting experience at a steak house. He was invited by some friends for a pigout. All his friends requested medium rare, so he did too. When the steaks were served, he could still traces of blood on...

carcher777 Tastewise, I enjoy a medium rare steak the best. However, as I get older I find that my digestive system rebels if I eat meat that is too rare. I find myself cooking the meat more and more so that it will agree with me.

carcher777 The most logical theory behind dreams that I have heard is that dreaming helps the brain sort out data. During the day our brain records EVERYTHING that we see, hear, touch, taste and smell. We can't focus on all of that input at once because we would not be...

kumarpslv @kumarpslv (3216) • India 2 May 09

carcher777 I would say relationships. People are always starting discussions asking for advice, but they often do not provide enough details for you to make a serious recommendation. I look at the discussions there but rarely contribute, because I don't want to sound...

carcher777 My current favorite are tower defense games. The most addictive one that I have found so far is Bloons Defense 3, which is on NinjaKiwi.com. It is a lovely timewaster that gives me something fun to do without engaging all of my brain.

Pen Drives are replacing CD and DVD! Do you agree?

rakesh284 @rakesh284 (1472) • India 23 Apr 09

carcher777 One thing that some folks don't realize is that pen drives have only a few years of life before they start malfunctioning. This means that for more long-term storage, CD/DVD is the way to go. You can't put your family home movies on a flash drive and expect it...

carcher777 I most certainly will, thanks for the information. By the way, do they have anything similar to tasks there? I find that I make the majority of my money here via the essay tasks.
