I am a house husband. I do the household chores and also cooking. My wife works 8 hours a day. I left in the house doing her thing while I haven’t found a new job yet. Your tips will surely help me. Thanks.

I do marshmallows in cinnamon, also a tiny bit of chilli powder for a bit of a kick!

I’ve not heard of adding baking soda to iced tea to prevent cloudiness before. I have to ask, how on earth did you discover that worked?

Mariuca,

I moved the EC down my blog because I’m really am not sure how I feel about the latest EC changes.

Sarah,
Wow, chili powder, it’s amazing what foods you can mix together. My Grandmother left me her cookbook, she has a lot of great recipes and tips. Also, I’ve learned a lot of things with trial and error. I’m a bit of a mad scientist in the kitchen. I’ll mix up the strangest foods together surprising myself all the time. Thanks for the cinnamon and chili powder tip. Happy Cooking
