Just fill the cups. Leave tray covered to rims. Should not need more than 2 cans if it is 12 cups. It was just a suggestion that worked for me.

The oil wasn't in the cups, it was on the surface around the tops. To immerse that, would have had to fill my sink at least an inch deep and put the tray in it upside down. At least one bottle, maybe two.

In my state, Troopers kept coke cola in their cruisers to clean blood off the highway after bad accidents.

And as a health professional, we would use it to clear clogged feeding tubes.

51 Uses for Coca-Cola – the Ultimate List

I was trawling the Internet recently searching for a way to remove a grease spot from a favorite shirt of mine. How it got there, well, I blame a faulty fork and not my clumsy mout

Lol @BetteDavisEyes, makes you wonder if we should even be drinking it!!

Re- asthma attacks, a tip we were given was to sip on very strong black coffee. Not sure how reliable this is?

Caffeine can help open airways. Prescribed meds are better, though.

Caffeine for asthma - PMC

Caffeine has a variety of pharmacological effects; it is a weak bronchodilator and it also reduces respiratory muscle fatigue. It is chemically related to the drug theophylline which is used to treat asthma. It has been suggested that caffeine may ...

Love the stuff. Love cola. One of the happiest days of my life was when they brought back Royal Crown Cola, LOL.

Drinking some right now, lol... Aaaaah!

Makes no difference to me that you can use it to remove corrosion, lol. I use vinegar and sometimes lemon juice all the time in cleaning and still put it on my salads. Yum!

I admit loving cola (no sugar version tho.) too and drink it daily. Suffer from dyspepsia, so drinking water causes bad heartburn. Cola doesn't.

I use cola for BBQ sauce and to marinate chicken and pork. Total favourites.

I also use vinegar a lot for cleaning (and killing moths lol.), and washing clothes. And it's often in my meals (vinegar makes excellent meat tenderiser.)

When I was first diagnosed with cough-variant asthma, the allergist told me about the coffee cure. Sips of coffee can help to relieve a coughing fit. I don't drink coffee any more because it was causing digestive issues.

I remember a recipe that was popular from back in the 70s, when Reynold’s cooking bags were being advertised in magazines.

It was a ham recipe where you put a whole ham into an extra large Reynold’s cooking bag, along with a 2 liter Coke. IIRC the ham was marinated in the bag overnight then cooked the next day. I think you had to turn the bag during cooking to baste the ham in the Coke.

I never made it myself but I remember seeing it being cooked and served at parties and get togethers.

Some years ago, I had a neighbor who cooked and baked with Coca Cola and local Faygo sodas. I remember having a piece of a Chocolate/Coca Cola cake she had made. Not sure if this is the exact recipe, but it was probably similar.

Old Fashioned Southern Chocolate Coca Cola Cake

This old fashioned Coca Cola cake may be the easiest chocolate cake ever--it doesn't even require a mixer! The tender and moist chocolatey buttermilk cake is made in a baking pan and is topped with a fudgy frosting, also flavored with the popular soda.

Yesterday I made zucchini quiche. It came out delicious. Since it made 2, I covered one in parchment paper, plastic wrap, & foil, then placed it in the freezer.

Then the “roach coach” BBQ guy was out there smokin’ so I had to go buy a meal. I can make 3 or 4 meals out of the pulled pork, Cuban rice (has black beans in it) and baked beans. $13.00!

I bought little slider buns for the pork and for the frozen Gorton fish squares I have left from last month.

My new toaster oven works much better crisping things too.

I made a quiche today too! Spinach and broccoli was mine. It was my first time using my new [convection] oven. It's a tiny bit overcooked but tasted fine. I still have to learn the subtleties of my new range.

I really need to develop the habit of making two and freezing one. I lived for years without a freezer so I'll use that as my excuse why I never got in that habit (though of course I had many years prior to that where I could have developed these good habits).

If it tasted good, it doesn’t matter what it looks like! I have never frozen a baked quiche before. I’m assuming I will thaw it in the fridge and heat a piece in the microwave when I want another one.

I have a convection button on my oven but I’ve never used it. I read its basically an air fryer and marketers just took that feature and made an appliance? No idea if it’s true but pretty clever if so.

Have heard this exact same thing! I don't know if it's true, but my guess is yes, and they're just kinda "built" differently, but same process. (May be wrong, dunno.) I love my little toaster oven/air fryer big time. We cut up frozen pizzas and pop them in, those pizzas cook so nicely. And I like the idea that you kind of avoid complete dependence on the oven. Got a slow cooker (good big one), a foldable indoor grill, a flat-top grill, and this little air fryer/toaster oven. Microwave, but wondering how much longer it'll hold up, little one. The one thing I still really want is a separate little burner/hot plate, a separate one. If I had one of those, I swear, I could make an entire Thanksgiving dinner without a stove, and I like that idea a lot.

This has me thinking, though, can you make a quiche in that little toaster oven? Checking (LOVE quiche). Yes indeed. They're saying just small baking dish. Mine's so big n clunky, I'm at some point going to have to get some special little products for baking in that little toaster oven.

Butternaise is meant to be liberally slathered all over the bread to ensure the perfect golden crust on your grilled cheese sandwich. As the company said in announcing this genius creation, it is “the crossover you never knew you needed but won't be able to live without.” If this sounds like something you need in your kitchen, act quickly, because it’s only going to be available for a limited amount of time, starting on November 6.

Tillamook's New Condiment Is A Game Changer For Your Grilled Cheese

The butter makers at Tillamook County Creamery Association have teamed up with the makers of KEWPIE mayonnaise to create a spread that is specifically designed to create perfectly crusted grilled cheese sandwiches.

Every time I made my egg cups or breakfast casserole with ham chunks, they are watery.

My egg cups are in a regular muffin tin. Eggs, cheese, veggies which are usually spinach and tomatoes. Occasionally I’ll had cooked crumbled turkey sausage.

Breakfast casserole is the same but it’s a glass baking dish sprayed and tater tot’s on the bottom for a crust. I like to add spinach, zucchini, tomato, onion and garlic all sautéed before adding to the eggs & cheese.

DH and I had dental cleaning appointments yesterday after which we went to Shine Cafe for brunch. I always order one of their creative "Benedicts" but decided to have an omelet instead. I had a corned beef omelet with their fabulous breakfast potatoes and rye toast. I didn't order cheese in my omelet, but I could tell after a few bites that there was Swiss cheese in the omelet. Given the hunger status in our country, I was not going to have the beautiful omelet go to waste, so I took Lactaid that I always have in my purse. The omelet was delicious, and we both took half of our breakfasts home because the portions are huge.

We skipped trick-or-treat in the 'hood and went to dinner at Picano's on Halloween. As soon as I saw stuffed shells on the special's menu, I knew that's what I was having. DH had pickerel with Amogio sauce, and we shared an artichoke appetizer. We also both had red clam chowder that we don't recall having had previously. It was amazing - large pieces of clam and just the right amount of heat. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy but seemed short-staffed. There was only one busser for two dining areas, so our lovely waitress was having to do her own bussing along with serving us and at least two other tables. We told her that we were in no hurry as we were bailing on Halloween and didn't want her to be stressed.

We had some chunks of grilled leg of lamb in the freezer from a summer BBQ, so I made Shepherd's Pie a couple of weeks ago. I typically only make the labor-intensive meal once a year - usually for St. Patrick's Day, but it seemed a good way to use up the leftover lamb. I also made Chicken Paprikash last Sunday. Tonight we are having steaks that are on sale this week at Salvaggio's. We don't eat a lot of red meat and haven't had steak since our lavish dinner at Ruth's Chris on 10/15.

Acorn squash is in season, and we will probably enjoy it at least once a week for a couple of months. The squash seem quite small this year, probably due to the drought during Michigan's growing season.

I didn't think Americans went much in for lamb! We Aussies eat a lot if it. We cooked lamb shanks just this week. Roasted in the oven for about four or five hours until the meat was falling off the bone. No knife necessary. We've kept the bones, we'll probably make soup with them.

MOO

This American loves lamb! Rack of lamb is my favorite food. I also like ground lamb.
