jacnmkc I usually make my rice by first frying onion and the rice in butter. Then I add the water and I add tomato bullion. Then I add about 2 table spoons of salsa. I will then let it sit for a while to cook. When it's cooked I will simmer it for about another 1/2...

What do you think is better tradition school or home schooling?

billionaire5 @billionaire5 (1333) • United States 31 Jul 08

With the upcoming school year I have been contemplating home schooling my daughter, I feel she would benefit more from the one on one attentions but I also don't want to hinder her social skills. I am really put off by the school...

jacnmkc I think it all depends on the school district. Two years ago I was convinced that I was going to homeschool my children because we lived in a really bad area and the school district wasn't great. Now we moved last year and the schools here are amazing. I...

Ramen noodles to the rescue?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 20 Jun 07

Ok, we all stayed alive with Ramen noodles and pizza in college but I have to admit, they are truly one of the most useful little packages of quick food I've ever come across. Below is a recipe I tried the other day. It's...

jacnmkc Once I was in the parking lot at my local drug store and a man came up to me with what I thought was a believeable story. He said that his car ran out of gas (and his wife and kids were waiting inside the stalled car) and needed a few bucks. So I gave about 4...

Can you or do you eat leftovers straight from the fridge?

smints8985 @smints8985 (1594) • United States 20 Jun 07

Well as we watch it in the Western movies, people just grab food out from their fridge and just eat it as it is, without reheating but straight from the fridge. Do you do this? Or do you reheat your leftovers first before...

jacnmkc Not really. I like warm food. I agree with the other response, cold pizza is ok...however I love sticking it in the oven so the cheese can get melty and the crust crispy. Sometimes I use cold chicken and cut it up for salads. But I usually heat up leftovers.

jacnmkc I've been a SAHM since 2003 and yes it's very hard. Now here it is in 2007 with baby #3 on they way and I'm still doing it. Yes, we have to make sacrifices, and yes, more money would make our lives much more easier, but it's worth it.

jacnmkc I've liked Sanjaya since his first audition. I think he has a great personality. I think he has a great voice, but I think he's trying too hard. He may be getting over confident because he is so popular, and I think that will hurt him. He has a great voice,...

jacnmkc In my honest opinion...you'll find a way to work it out by staying at home. We live in Southern California and it's super expensive out here. My husband makes enough to make ends meet, but for some reason, we NEVER are left without. And he doesn't make that...
