DragonWarWizard Oatmeal is good for lowering blood pressure and reducing cholesterol. However, in America it's mostly used as a breakfast food and for baking oatmeal pies and cookies.

No salt? Hard to believe...

youless @youless (112621) • Guangzhou, China 17 Mar 11

Some people are just so crazy here. Now it seems the salt is out of stock from the shops. People are just so afraid of the bad effect of the nuclear blast in Japan. They rush to buy the salt because they are afraid in the future...

DragonWarWizard Chicken and rice would be a good meal option for a guest, assuming it's spiced well with red pepper and made with homemade chicken stock.

DragonWarWizard You are very lucky no one was hurt. There could have been serious injurites. I don't like to cook with glass bakeware for fear of injury. I don't cook often but when I do, it's with metal pans.

DragonWarWizard The potato tastes different if you peel and then and cook and the outside of the potato toughens up and you have to peel that away. So you end up losing part of the potato.
