Chocolate Cowboy Hats
Thanks, Linda! They are yummy too. I had one that kinda melted together the next day and it was terrific :D
Cleaning Burned Grease Off of Stove Elements?
I personally use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda with a last rinse using boiling hot water. It seems to work fine. My husband likes to use Scrubbing Bubbles as mentioned above and that works as well!
Why Does My 5 Month Old Kitty Nurse on My Lip?
Agree with both of the above. She thinks you are the mum. Just slowly get her to only go for her own foods. This would not be a life-long thing, but the sooner you can get her on her own, the better.
Finding a Job
You can try a site like Task Rabbit. They have plenty of different tasks to choose from to help other people out. https://www.taskrabbit.com/become-a-tasker
Battered Fish Tacos with Fresh Slaw
Thank goodness they are different! Sometimes I worry I might post something too similar after not searching enough. I try to mix it up. I do love that lime crema! :)
Value of a Webcor President Record Player?
hello! That looks like a 1964 Webcor EP-1450-1 1A record player. This is the closest I could find for you, listed at $100: https://www.shoppok.com/redding/a,49,97798,RESTORED-1964-Webcor---TUBE---suitcase-portable-RECORD-PLAYER-STEREO----100--Redding-off-Bechelli...
Finding an Inexpensive Wedding Photographer?
I would go to your Craigslist services area and post there. Since its not a ft/pt position, they wont charge you for the post. Also try your local NextDoor- a great resource to find those types of things near you.
Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto
Oh yes, let us know if you try it with sunflower seeds and whats the outcome! :D Thank you!
Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto
Ooo a great idea for Christmastime! Enjoy, Marg! Lots of love to you and England-- we are transplants living in Cali! :)
Damaged Hair from Texturizer
Wonderful suggestions above about checking in with internal health, as well. Not always will an external element or product help, BUT its good to trim your hair and condition often. You can even skip washes to help save your hair. I have been taking biotin...
Covering Lemon in Microwave
In short, its not the best idea due to chemical releases. Try to use ceramics and glass items.
What is This Thing
Really hard to distinguish from this photo. Was it moving around? If so, slowly? Quickly? Did it have legs? From this, it looks like maybe a slug?
Making Pastel Hair Dyes
I forgot to mention that I also like to do this in the reverse fashion: darker colours at the roots and lightest at the tips... so just reverse the conditioner addition as you go down :)
Going Back to Original Hair Color
Try something like Color Oops Extra Conditioning Hair Color Remover. It works and it does not kill your hair. You can get it on Amazon.
Etiquette Regarding Family Visits?
I think a call or a heads up would be normal before a visit. I think you can actually leverage this issue by using the pandemic as a reason why calling or texting pre-visit is a MUST. And that you must approve the visit, as well.
Identifying a Small Brown Bug?
Looks just like a bed bug https://www.pestworld.org/pest-guide/bed-bugs/bed-bugs/ You will definitely need an insecticide servicing for this
Value of an Antique Dickens Book?
This might be pretty close to yours at $245 https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=15354049820&cm_mmc=ggl-_-COM_Shopp_Rare-_-naa-_-naa&gclid=CjwKCAjwnK36BRBVEiwAsMT8WF2lz7bohVWBJ2-n660hoWHDaRNGDycBm1Y5bVBpZyR5L2in4lwK4BoC_twQAvD_BwE
Cleaning a Rusty Knife?
Let them sit in white vinegar then clean. You can also make a paste with baking soda and water and clean.
13th Birthday Party Ideas?
You could still do this but keep it super small due to the budget and the lockdown. Stay safe and have a great birthday!
What Bug Caused This Bite?
Looks like a mosquito bite. Spider bites get a red patch. Check out mosquito bite images here: https://www.google.com/search?q=mosquito+bites&sxsrf=ALeKk01UOi8C8adtcu4C1ZOOzzjOMWjoAQ:1597857259512&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZjeuS4qfrAhXdHzQIHbR-DZcQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw...
Comforter Falls Off When Using Satin Sheets?
I use bed sheet straps when this happens. You can get them on Amazon or Bed Bath and Beyond. Cheap and helpful.
50th Birthday Ideas?
I threw a huge Zoom bday party for my hubby this year, with distance and the pandemic factoring in. I had asked everyone to bring photos/videos of him from past events and share them on the chat- he loved it so much :)
What is this Bug?
Agree with pgh- that is a firebrat :) Dont think its an earwig as those have a distinct clawlike thing on one end.
Is it Worth Buying a Small Freezer?
My family in England uses a separate freezer like that but it is also because the shops are far from where they live so it makes sense to freeze things. I think you should weigh that out, as well. If you live near shops it might not make a difference.
Pomegranate Rosemary Chicken
Please do! You can marinate it overnight and it will really soften the meat up, as well. delish!
Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
Lemon water is good too! I love these gummies so much. I love chewing on them and they totally curb my appetite for hours :)
Daughter Will Not Let Me See My Grandson?
I dont think any advice from us can help EXCEPT that we all advise you to take your daughter to get counseling jointly with you with a family matters therapist. She may have issues on her own, but she also drags you into these, causing you not to see your family...
Is This a Wart?
It looks more like a bite. Ask your son if its at all itchy or has been itchy, and if the pain is more of a headache type or a burning type.
Chicken Katsu Curry
I am sure too! I have never had any complaints with this one :) such a comfort <3
Bug Troubles In My Apartment
Could be flea/ticks from neighbouring pets. Let your landlord know asap.
Upcycled Plastic Bottle Jewelry Stand
Same here, Katrine!! :) You could try using coloured plastic bottles too-- that might look so chic!
Upcycled Plastic Bottle Jewelry Stand
Absolutely!!! It is definitely a great organizer, for sure. I hope you both enjoy making one, and I hope she uses it ;)
Chocolate Chunk Banana Protein Muffins
Oh, youre very welcome! I love collagen powder, too. I hope you enjoy these and best of luck in your healthy journey!
Chocolate Chunk Banana Protein Muffins
They are so so so very good- definitely more like a treat than anything youd pop after a workout. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chunk Banana Protein Muffins
Exactly :) Same goes for feeding my hub. Hes a super sugar addict, and giving him these makes him as happy as eating his favourite chocolate caramel cookies, but hes mostly having banana sugars.
Selling Cut Pine for Wood Crafts?
Nextdoor.com if you want to avoid shipping and setup fees. Otherwise maybe open an Etsy or eBay shop.
Value of Unidentified and Unique Art Pieces?
Any markings you can find on it, especially on the bottom? Look for the following indicators when searching: 'Nippon' means it was made in the period of 1891 to 1921. 'Japan' or 'Made in Japan' are pieces made after 1921. 'Made in Occupied Japan' are pieces...

Homemade Snake Repellant Using Mothballs?
It will probably help some. They also dont like clove oil and cinnamon oil. Also good natural deterrents.
Sharing Expenses with a Live-in Boyfriend?
It can go both ways, to be honest. I see people saying he is a user, but you also must remember where he is coming from, as well. Not all people are the same as far as monetary decisions, both short term and long term. This should have been well laid out before...
Juicy Pear Cake
I love that you use the juice too! I hope you make it again soon. Pears in cakes can be rare but such a treat. Thanks for sharing your story :)
What Breed Is My Kitten?
Maybe an American Shorthair? Here is a nice link to identify them: https://www.rover.com/blog/black-cat-breeds/
Problems with Tongue Piercing?
Its normal. Try to swish with Biotene or hydrogen peroxide, also some warm salt water rinses. If it persists more than a week, go to the place you got it done.
Toning Down Dyed Hair?
Id process a semi permanent brown on top for 20 minutes. Less if you have thin hair.
Storing White Artificial Flowers?
We keep ours clean and wrapped in tissue paper in one of our closets. Seems to work nicely.

$25-$40 seems the range. Check out all the eBay listings for them here: https://www.ebay.com/b/Cabbage-Patch-Dolls/20392/bn_16562200
Removing Sharpie from Hair?
Someone on ThriftyFun had this problem and she confirmed nail polish remover worked: https://www.thriftyfun.com/tf83844262.tip.html
13th Birthday Ideas?
Given the restrictions we have at the moment, an outdoor hike might be great. Thats what my friends and I have been doing, and anyone who cannot join, joins us live on video chat on the phone :)
Gravity-Defying Ramen Cake
Aww thank you Jess!! I was a wee bit frazzled giving this one a go but Im happy with it. I hope your son likes it! :D
Gravity-Defying Ramen Cake
I will admit we were a little sad to cut into it-- but the taste paid off :D
Gravity-Defying Ramen Cake
Oh how I would love to do that :) Talk about passion at work! Thank you so much!!!
Gravity-Defying Ramen Cake
Why, thank you! No, its just a hobby. I have no clue what Im doing for the most part. I think the skills came from having a love for sculpting polymer clay back in the day :)
Mexican Street Corn Tacos
My hub likes them with flour. I like them with corn. Both super delicious :)
