do you really need gloves and a mask?
Comments (14)I use whatever gloves are at the 99 cent store. Once a pair gets colored I put on new ones-change often if you are doing more than a few pods. ALWAYS add Supers to what you are cooking ahead of time so they can blend or you get mild and super hot spots in whatever. Example-Salsa. Add ONLY enough that taste on the low end of your heat range,let sit for at least a few hours,overnight is better. It lets BOTH the heat AND flavor evenly distribute through out the dish. When I use powders added to a burrito or whatever it's different.You can sprinkle it evenly inside the burrito and it works pretty well. Gloves are all you need unless you are clumsey at grinding your powders and don't wait for the dust to settle. If using a blender take off the container,a GLASS mayo jar usually screws right in. Air tight and you can let it settle. DON"T USE A CHEAP BLENDER. They get hot which makes the oils in the powder clump AND you'll let the smoke out REAL FAST(burn it out). IF you get 2 or 3 cheap ones you still have to let them cool between batches.Costs the same as a good commercial grade blender in the long run. I hear the bullet , infomercial ones are pretty good too. I chop mine up in a food processor,freeze them and grind as needed.FOR personal use. I keep everything in my freezer,fresh dry ,powder or flakes. I vac pack a lot of it when I can. Best thing to do is Dry your pods for powder and freeze them.Grind them as needed. Freeze a lot (fresh)for cooking too. You'll be suprissed that you thought you had a ton in the freezer or ? but you ran out in Mid to Late winter. They get addicting. You end up using them in everything,not just for heat,but for the flavour Blends with different dishes too. Like any other spice. A pinch here and there adds to even VERY mild dishes. My post is worth exactly what you paid for it... LOL Don't think of supers as only additions to HOT dishes. To me Blending stuff usually is a lot better than the way a lot of people use supers. I Like 7 pots the best ,But only because they blend well with the rubs or whatever I eat or BBQ(Smoke). I do like HEAT,but everything has to be in the same ball park. I see eating a whole raw super as a BIG waste. I could have used it to make a Killer dish...OR a couple... Peppers,no matter which one,They are a spice that has it's place in different dishes. As a side note: I have a Burr grinder that leaks powder everywhere but does a ton of powder FAST. Hurts to empty the container and re load it. Great for small batches but nasty for large ones. Leaks too much. An oz. or 3 is OK.Over that you waste too much powder and need the Hazmat suite. Everything in the area has powder on it that you only find out about days latter. I ended up putting it in a plastic bag when I do use it....See MoreMade mock pizza tonight!
Comments (19)It's basically supposed to be a meatloaf shaped like a pizza with "pizza" toppings. So I would add the things you would for a meat loaf, breadcrumbs or oats along with an an egg, some chopped, green bell pepper and or/ onion. Whatever you like to season your meatloaf with. There are other mock pizzas that are done casserole style. You would brown your meat with seasoning then top it with pizza topping and bake in a casserole. These old recipes have nothing to do with carbs. They didn't really worry about such things until Stillman and later Aktins came along. ;-)...See MoreJoanns face mask

Comments (36)The usefulness of the mask is a function of what it is being used for. While a fabric mask can't block the spread of the virus, it can capture most of the spittle that one ejects when one speaks, coughs or sneezes which is the primary form of virus transmission. Especially for those who are forced to be in close quarters with others, it can help prevent the spread of the disease. And a close fitting mask of fabric is better than a bandana tied around the face. It protects others from the wearer rather than vice versa. But the more who wear it, the more community protection everyone receives. While I wouldn't recommend them for medical personnel who are forced to be in close quarters with infected people for hours a day, it is thought to be of benefit to the general populace. Q: What mistakes are other countries making? A: The big mistake in the U.S. and Europe, in my opinion, is that people aren’t wearing masks. This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role—you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections. If they are wearing face masks, it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others.Source...See More- 5 years ago
