I just got a new cotton dress, and i was cooking dinner and olive oil spilled on it. I bloted the oil spots, and put baking soda on it, but that didnt work. and I dont have any dawn dish soap. Is there anything else that would work? Would oxey clean stain remover work?

I’m going through my pantry and low fat black bean refried beans have autolyzed yeast, and that doesnt sound good. Is it bad? And if so why? Any other thing to look out would be helpful to know, and if you could tell me why too. Thanks!

it says in the recipe ’1 cup vegetable shortening (not oil)’. what is that and what can i use instead ? any help i appreciate, thank you

My friend gave birth 4 days ago and is wondering if it is ok for her to eat peanuts.
She is worried that it may give the baby tummyache as she is breastfeeding.
She is craving dry roasted peanuts and her partner bought her a huge bag but she wants to make sure first.
Thanks in advance.

She never ever took a liking to it. She just spits it out on my husband and I. She is nursed, I mix it with breast milk and she still will not take it! She doesn’t take a bottle with milk either, so I mixing it in is not an option. I bought the cereal mixed in with the fruits by beechnut, is that a good enough supplement? If not, any ideas on how to get her to take the cereal?

For me its the following: black beans, ground beef, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions, and green chili sauce.

I put the rice in the cooker but it never comes out like it does in the restaurant. Is there a secret to making it taste good?

Breakfast: one oven baked smoked haddock fillet (baked in foil with a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil), with chopped cucumber. One cup of coffee with coconut milk

Lunch: 2 egg whites cooked in coconut oil, chopped cucumber and 2 walnuts and 1 sliced almond. 1 cup of coffee with coconut milk.

(NOTE: Before anyone comments on ‘bad’ coconut oil, read this http://www.bodyincredible.com/here-is-a-wonder-food-which-will-burn-body-fat-boost-energy-and-strengthen-your-immune-system/ and http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/How_to_Lose_Weight_with_Virgin_Coconut_Oil.html )

THANK YOU!
dinner will be tinned red wild salmon and salad with lemon

I don’t really know what it’s for, so I can’t judge for myself. An oatmeal cookie recipe calls for 3/4 cups of vegetable shortening, which I don’t have.

I am SLOWLY switching over to a more vegetarian based diet. I noticed on the food pyramid it says to eat

“2-3 servings from the legume, nut seed, & meat alternative group”

What are some things to eat from this catagory….the only things I can think of are kidney beans, and peanut butter?

I have a recipe which calls for for pre cooked corn flour. I can buy ordinary corn flour but in the UK you can only buy it pre cooked via the internet. How exactly is it pre cooked? baked, boiled and dried? Roasted?
This is white corn flour – as in ground maize flour. Not polenta.

I’m a vegetarian (“light vegan”) I eat fish but cant do dairy. My friend has me on a strict diet for an experiment we’re doing where I cant even eat grains or beans. Fish, fruits, nuts, veggies. I realized today I went over my calories (yeah I count those too) because I was eating nuts and dried fruit. which is why I shall be working out later. BUT is it bad to have about a handful of nuts as like an entre? *I try to do the raw diet as well.
Breakfast: 2 bananas, 25 almonds, 2t cashewbutter, nondairy milk, 3 or 4 dried figs
snack: orange
Lunch: Salad_Spinach, 6 dried apricuts, 1/4 cup pinenuts, broccolie + nutritional yeast
apple, 1/4 cup walnuts, little less than 1/4 cup dried cranberries (apple juice sweeten)
Dinner: 1 cup grapes, 1/4 cup sunflowerseeds, 1 dried fig pinch of cashew butter. 1/2 cup nondairy milk.

does that sound crazy bad? Even though Im in good shape, work out and is what I did today something I dont want to make a habbit of?

I don’t have enough shortening so I was wondering if I can use vegetable oil to fill it the rest of the way?

I’ve read online that massaging olive oil into the scalp and hair can make it grow back/grow stronger. Is this true? Also, how often should I use it?

Its for a project. Even if you could just give me a site with the proper Nutritional information that contains the ingredients of long-grain rice, that would be a large help.

IF YOU COULD JUST GO TO YOUR KITCHEN TO YOUR BAG OF RICE ON THE BACK AND POST THE INGREDIENTS, THAT WILL SAVE ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU MAXIMUM POINTS.
Okay, i just worded it wrong then, Go to a bag of rice and look on the back of that bad of rice and post the ingredients. I will be so happy and thankful. Thank you

im doing a science fair project and i need to know how much water a lima bena need to grow

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS

I’m very picky when it comes to yogurt–I can’t stand chunks of any size in them. It’s a texture thing and I just absolutely can’t eat it. Now I have to get my wisdom teeth out in a few days and I need really soft food for the days following the procedure. I was just hoping someone knew of yogurt that would work for me. Thanks!

Homo sapiens sapiens (modern humans) have not significantly evolved for at least 50,000 years. Humanity only domesticated cattle, goats etc. approximately 10,000 years ago.

Why is dairy considered an essential core food group when our species didn’t have access to it for the vast majority of our existence?

Thanks.
If dairy is a core food because of the calcium content, how did we obtain calcium before dairy?

Tia: Do you have a source for prehistoric humans having inadequate bone strength? It seems illogical for them to evolve a deficiency that they couldn’t meet.

Thanks.

when giving gerber or beechnut baby juice to a baby does it have to be diluted with water.
so if im makeing my 19 week old a bottle of juice and im adding 1oz of water i would add 1 oz of juice … correct

my home health vistor said it was ok to give him juice but i was just double checking on the correct why to give it to him.

what type of juices have or did you give your babies, and what was there fav?

my son has only had pear and white grape juice so far.
no rude answers on how bad it is to give my son juice i was told by a home nurse which is a rn it was ok.

Cheese graders are so annoying and take so much time, is there something else i can use to grade cheese with?

-I am purchasing from Ion Hair Color Brilliance, probably, but all suggestions welcome.

After a sudden decrease in my milk production, I started to take fenugreek. I have been taking it since Friday afternoon and am not seeing much of an increase. I am just wondering since my baby isn’t taking formula or a bottle very well…
I guess I should add that I HAVE been talking to my doctor about this, and am taking it on her advice!! I have been trying to supplement w/ formula, she isn’t taking it as well as I would like to see but she is taking some.

The seasoning is made in Houma ,La. and contains salt,cayenne,paprika and other spices
