Comments (24)I can relate this post to clothing (kind of like 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon, or whatever ....) Now this may be the voice of the debbil speaking, but I have planned a shopping day to buy some new clothes in order to pitch some that I have. While I don't travel a lot, I find that when I do, for either business or casual, I still, despite having certainly enough volume of clothes, don't have enough coordinated items. Partly it's a problem of color discipline (lack thereof), like the books that tell you to pick just 2 colors and an accent or whatever. Womens' styles are also to blame, because really, it turns out that cut, length, fabric, etc conspire to make items less interchangeable, and it's quite hard to have everything go with 10 other things, or whatever. Partly it's clothing attrition--some of the things that went together ended their lifespans, and and so now I may have "parts" of coordinated outfits but still love the items that are left. Partly it's style and me-changes so that this year I've finally gotten focused on which styles and colors I'd like to duplicate or expand. And while I'm on a rant, what IS it with "khaki" stuff in about 10 different shades? I mean, it doesn't matter for t-shirts, but I recently bought some new khaki pants only to find that a slight difference in color make them no longer "work" with a favorite jacket. That's my point about the tyranny of womens' clothing styles and colors. So I end up having to pack more things than I'd like in order to have enough "outfits". For business wear, I've also finally developed some more discipline about going off onto outfit-tangents. So, I'm planning to take a day at the mall to specifically search for items that work together and are in my "new" styles. Truly, honestly (!), I have identifed a dozen pieces (or more) of clothing I currently own that, if I had the right replacements, I would toss because they are just not right and because they don't all work together, but without replacements, they currently are part of what I grab when I travel. I've got them in a group at one end of the closet and I think before I shop I will make myself at least move them out of the closet. It's really not much more than making an intentional clothing shopping list, but with permission to buy a "group" of items if they all work together great AND will replace several disparate items I've got now. I did do some substantial clothing purging a month ago, which gave me both room and freedom, and that's what helped me notice that of what I've got left, I still am not getting the kind of use out of them that I need, but I can't quite let go because they are the closest thing to what I REALLY need for a given occasion. Pretty good rationalization so far, huh? The trick will be to be able to go home empty-handed if in the entire store/mall nothing right then fits the definition of what I think I'm trying to do....See MoreRECIPE: strawberry shortcake recipe??
Comments (2)The recipe I heard was to mix cake mis with bisquick and follow the directions for biscuits on the bisquick box. But I am sure I wouldn't like tha artificial flavors in the cake mix. If you want sweeter shortcake, just add a little more sugar and a teaspoonful of REAL vanilla extract. Linda C...See MoreRange Hood-do you actually use it
Comments (19)What kind of cooking do you do or plan to do? Will you be grilling? High-smoke/high-heat/high-odor cooking? Frying? Stir Frying? Or Just boiling water? If not "just boiling water" and you do any of the others above, then I would probably go w/a 900 or 1200cfm Vent-A-Hood or 1200cfm other brand. If the cooktop is on an island or peninsula, go with higher cfms. If possible, get a 42" hood (6" wider than the cooktop). While this is not "required", it does increase the hood's effectiveness...especially if you do any grilling/high-heat/high-smoke/high-odor cooking. I also think it looks better! :-) People here like their Vent-A-Hoods & Modern Aires. I think there are also some GE Monogram fans... The most effective hoods are those vented to the outside. The least effective are downdraft and recirculating. BTW...noise & effectiveness are affected by installation. The longer the duct run, the more turns, and the smaller the ducting, the louder & less effective a hood will be. So, try to meet or exceed all manufacturer's suggestions and try to minimize the turns. If you need more than one or two turns, consider larger ducting. Another big impact on noise is the location of the fan....if it's external (outside) or remote, it will be much quieter than one that has the fan at the start of the run (I hope I explained this correctly...others, correct me if I didn't explain it correctly!) We have a Vent-A-Hood 600 cfm hood but we don't do a lot of frying/stir-frying/etc. Mostly it's for making potatoes, tea, hot chocolate, pancakes, and things like that. So, 600 is fine for us (we have an electric cooktop, so no grilling.) Oh, and we use our range hood all the time as well...even when just boiling water...it vents the excessive moisture out & keeps if off my cabinets. Check out the Appliances Forum for more suggestions! Good luck!...See Moreplllog
