    Stupid questions

    Puzzling Thoughts

    August 2, 2009

    Heather says:
    Riddle me this:
    How is it that we are so eager to watch other people browning beef cubes on screen but so much less eager to brown them ourselves? For the rise of Julia Child as a figure of cultural consequence — along with Alice Waters and Mario Batali andMartha Stewart and Emeril Lagasse and whoever is crowned [...]

    Stupid Questions Volume 12

    February 22, 2008

    Heather says:
    I bet Kathy T thinks we forgot all about her stupid questions.

    I have a tablecloth used during a Girl Scout ceremony in which we lit lots of candles. Not just ordinary white candles, but “crayola” colored candles! I have melted blobs of red, blue, yellow, and green wax all over the tablecloth. [...]

    Stupid Questions: Holiday Edition

    December 6, 2007

    Kathy T is back with more Stupid Questions™. This time, it’s a holiday edition.

    The tree is in my attic. Gathering dust. It’s an artificial 6- or 7-footer. What’s the best way to clean it before spreading the dust throughout my house?
    Heather – There are several methods you could try, depending on how [...]

    October 30, 2007

    Dear Home Ec 101:
    I know Kathy T usually sends you stupid questions, but I have a few for you, too.
    1. What does salt do? I used to feel snottily superior about leaving it out of all my recipes, trying to be healthy, but realized that didn’t work when I tried to bake bread. So what [...]

    Ivy says:
    (I used this icon just for you, Margo!)
    I love to see what people have googled to get to my sites. Over at Music City Bloggers, we get an awful lot of hits for wet t-shirt contest. I’m sure people are very sadly disappointed when they find we’re not having one, nor are there any [...]

    Return of the stupid questions

    July 27, 2007

     Ivy says:
    It’s been awhile since Kathy T has graced us with her Stupid Questions. I’m glad they’re back! On with the questions.
    1. I’m having a terrible time with my vacuum cleaner. It blows instead of sucking. I know this reads like a dirty back-of-the-video-store room, but it’s my carpet that’s the dirty boy. What’s [...]
