I tend to find that fleas love pink-skinned kritters the best!!

Here's an interesting science project a kid did proving that yeast loses its effectiveness.  It's in Adobe Acrobat format.

You can use it anyway, but it will take longer to rise, and you might get flat dense pizza dough.  BTW, thanks for the idea for dinner. 

I am dying over here for pizza. Have ALL the ingredients - cheese, sauce, toppings, but forgot the yeast for the dough. Called my 80 y.o. sweetheart of a neighbor to see if I could borrow a packet until I get to the grocers (quite a bit away).

She drives to my house and lovingly hands me the package. As I go to open it to place in my dough mixture the expiration date reads: Oct 25 1992

LOL!! Should I go for it or what, girls?

with a teaspoon of sugar.  If it starts to bubble within 10-15 minutes it's still alive.  Otherwise, it has died and will not breathe it's bubbles into whatever you are making and you'll get no rising. 

Next time you buy yeast, stick it in the freezer.  That puts it to sleep, and it will last years. 

Quick, inexpensive, and easy:  Pour fine powder (baby powder, baking soda) at holes where the ants are entering.  If they are progressing in a line across the floor, lay down a line of powder so they will not cross. 

It seems that they get stuck in the powder and can't continue.  You will find that literally just a few make it across the barrier, but nobody is coming behind them.  There will be some laying dead in and around the powder

Otherwise, they seem to tell their sibling, friends, and distant cousins that it's a no-go, find another route--and that trail just dries up. 

I have a Hoover Fusion and just love it.  I have a long-hair cat and a 13-year-old and I cannot believe the sunction on this vacuum.  It comes with many attachments.  It is bagless and very easy to empty from the bottom.  I believe they have it at Walmart for around $139.00.  Highly recommend it.

tomorrow and i only have 2 eggs and recipe on box calls for 3. Does anyone know what will happen if I use the 2? I live in the country and the store is way too far to get eggs. No neighbors either! :)

What would you do? Go ahead and try it or ditch it altogether? I was in the middle of mixing when I saw I needed 3 eggs!!!! Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting this.  This smells so wonderful.

Wait, I think it was from the barefoot contessa show, I saw her do that but not in a crockpot. 

(We are looking for a place to buy chickens locally as I still believe no animal has to suffer for me, smile!)

Just because I am lazy, is that recipe already posted here, can I do a search to find it? 

Thank you everyone!
