I cook my breakfast from several raw ingredients (about 12) and was trying to come up with caloric and nutritional content for the same, for few ingredients I could get details on Wikipedia, a bit of google brings few other sites, though I am wondering is there a comprehensive listing of most kno...
When I use a french press to brew coffee, there always is some small grounds with the coffee.
I have adjust the grinder to make coarse grounds, but this does not help a lot.
Can I remove these annoying grounds without a filter?
My microwave oven has a "POPCORN" button. Its manual reads:
Touch this pad when popping popcorn in your microwave oven. The oven's sensor will tell the oven how long to cook depending on the amount of humidity it detects from the popcorn. See page 31 for more information.

This is made of Aluminum. Does this make any difference to cooking speed as compared to the steel non black cooker?
@rfusca you have a holy war within your family? It sounds exciting... in the dangerous sense of exciting.
@rfusca he needs a place with a high transaction volume to make money off it. Maybe he should be working on a different one. Like a backdoor which sends valuable insider info to him.
@Sobachatina wow, I#ve never seen Baba Yaga personally :P
I meant more the memes like the chained three-headed dragon beside the living water well, the kidnapper dragon who returns every night to the tower where he has locked the princess (but is away during the day), Kaschtschei's live being hidden in a recursive set of implausible vessels, etc.

They are hard Andonised but haven't specified the metal used in the body, here.

@Mien oh, we've already won, they have no 'weapons' in this war :) It has to do with how they want us to raise our kids and they have absolutely no say in the matter. They can make us a bit miserable just from their words, but ultimately its strictly on us.
@rfusca ouch. Your lifestyle already incorporates lots of religion: If they insist on more than that, what do they want, that you send your children to grow up in a convent?
Ah, I thought that infant baptism was the norm, except for one or two teachings - so I would have assumed that you, as a non-teaching-specialized Christian, would continue the tradition of infant baptism.
@rfusca only in a vague, British, grew-up-with-it kind of way
they probably couldn't tell me why they want her christened besides a few mumbled 'it's just how it should be's
and I've told them before, AFAIC it's up to her to make an informed decision when she's old enough to
I'm sure wife's granny probably thinks her great-granddaughter will burn in hell if she's not christened - what a lovely, moral Christian attitude that is.
but she has that deeply annoying old-person attitude that her opinion is the only valid one, and how things were done in 'her day' is the only way to do things
I want to buy a chef's knife, but I can't sharpen, and I don't plan to learn it. I will have to send my knives for sharpening, so I obviously prefer this to happen as rarely as possible.
I am leaning towards a Solingen style knife, probably a forged Zwilling. But I read in an answer herethat th...
I'm going to be on vacation March 18 - 28, and without internet access for much of that time - which overlaps with what would be three separate weekly contests.
In order to keep these running, questions coming in, and all of you eligible for prizes, I'm changing the contest slightly for the next...
@rumtscho don't feel guilty. It's all done randomly. and the other two winners were people I haven't seen participate in the contests before, which is a good sign (I think - they might've just posted contest-eligible questions by chance).
I'm off to lunch as well. I'll be back in a bit :)
But I made intentionally one long pie lattice question even though I thought it could have been split better, just to avoid contest-eligible inflation.
@Sobachatina I don't think so. I don't know for sure, because I don't have a scale.
I would have a scale if I was trying to manage my weight. It would have been important to measure myself. Even now, I am thinking of buying a sleep-measuring system to see if I can get to the root of my sleeping problems.
@Sobachatina I didn#t eat the cookies, I gave them as a gift.
Sadly, this one isn't as good as Moondust or such. It isn#t the greatest Clarke stuff. It is on the average Clarke level, which is, of course, much higher than the average book of other authors.
I think that it is a recent translation, so more probable to keep the foreign sound without trying to make it more Russian by adding й.
Hah, the book I am reading now got both Hugo and Nebula.
So objecitvely, it should be considered better than Moondust.
But personally, i find it way too rambling. I have finished a third of it, and I have the feeling that the action hasn't started yet. Actaully, I don#t care that much about "action" in the narrow sense, but I still don#t know what the book is about.

I consider myself a serious home cook. What knives are essential?
