I usually give them 3 or 4 dollars.

But I got to thinking with the cost of gas, maybe that's not enough? Don't they usually pay for their own gas?

How much do you tip?

Hi all:  I've recently noticed that a prominent pizza chain that begins with a D has started charging me a 1.50 delivery charge.  I normally tip the delivery guy anywhere between 3 and 6 depending on amount of order, weather conditions, etc.  I'm wondering who this 1.50 goes to and why are they charging me 1.50.  If goes to the delivery guy, great, more power to him. 

Also, do you tip higher on Superbowl Sunday?  Just curious.  TIA

I guess this is the board to put such a question on...If not, let me know.

Has anyone here tried or use Bare Minerals?  I just received the starter kit as a gift and have pretty sensitive skin so I thought I'd try to get some feedback from my fave site, lol!!!

Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!

start with your parents first (i'm assuming their still with you).  They're usually the most understanding of these situations.  Explain that you're simply strapped for cash, but would love to have everyone come together at your place for dinner.  Suggest to your parents (if they're on board with you) that the others want to exchange gifts, they can meet at someone else's place later for that.  I don't see anything wrong with it as long as everyone knows up front that you're not exchanging gifts.

I have been using it for about 4 years now and I love it.  I've tried quite a few other mineral makeups so I will tell you what I have found:

Loreal - Did not make a shade light enough to match my skin.  Did not blend well.

Maybelline - Hideous pinkish-orange tinge to their fairest color.  It took Maybelline so long to come out with a mineral makeup, I was shocked that it was so bad.  

TruMinerals - got this on the Internet.  It looked very nice and blended very well, but it had a very unpleasant odor.  I didn't like their mineral veil either, nor any of the other items that came in the kit. 

Avon - I really liked Avon's mineral makeup.  The color was beautiful and it had the same nice texture as Bare Minerals.  They do not have a wide range of color choices, though. 

Here is a winner, which really surprised me, because it is CHEAP:  NYC (New York Color) which I bought at WalMart.  Both the foundation and the mineral veil are very good and blend nicely.  I use my Bare Minerals brushes, though.  The brushes they come with really don't work so well.  NYC is less than $5, which is a great price for mineral makeup, less than half the other drugstore brands and much, much less than Bare Minerals.

I still think Bare Minerals is the best, but it is just so expensive.   I'll either stick with NYC or buy my Bare Minerals on ebay, which I have a couple of times when I have run out between my next shipment.

Mineral makeup has been so good to my skin!  I have much less trouble with breakouts since I have been using it.  Good luck! 

I save every packet of sauces from my Chinese food delivery.  Whether I'm cooking bar-b-q (ribs, chicken, pork chops, etc), or baking whatever or grilling, broiling, or boiling, I can usually throw together something from those packets depending on what flavoring I want to achieve.  My dad taught me not to look at recipes, but just to think about how flavors work together and trust your guts.  That doesn't work for everyone, but I've made some delicious dinners when I didn't have any other seasonings in the house but those Chinese food packets :)  Try to remember to balance out a sweet with a sour (or salty) flavor.  I remember how I was horrified when he put cinnamin in a pot roast once, but it was the best roast I ever had.  He had been doing it for years...he just hid it from me.  Once I knew he used it, I enjoyed it more than I ever had!

My neighbor uses it every week.  She works as a nurse but does like to 18hr shifts twice a week.  She has 9yr old twins, a 4yr old, and an 18mo old.  She home schools her children.  He DH works for the railroad. 

I am just curious if it really is a benefit and worth the money.  Maybe for that size family it is more practical for them but maybe not for a smaller family.  Is the food ready made and frozen, how much work is there in fixing a meal, etc.

Anyone familar with this?  Just wondering!

Does anybody have a recipe for a good pizza dough recipe that does not take a long time to make?

Also what do you put on your homemade pizza?

Go to the www.pamperedchef.com web site and find your stone under products. They will give recipes. 

Is the flat stone?  Cookies come out beautiful, Frozen french fries or tater tots, make your own pizza using frozen bread dough.. there are more options if you have the stone with the sides.
