We stocked up on the husbands favourite ingrediant - chicken, but the freezer keeps freezing and defrosting them. Will the chicken be ok or shall i throw it out?

throw it out.

think of it this way. when poultry/meat is frozen, the bacteria don't multiply (and if they do it's negligible). when you defrost it, they like being warm and multiply.

so basically..throw it out and get your freezer fixed.

And fyi ... I have a friend who's terrified of ocra's (spelling?). Tanzeela, you know who it is, haha. Like I say it and he squirms in disgust. Alright, that's all I have to say about that before he finds out about this post (he's not on here) and outs me as an undercover Jehovah's Witness converter of Muslims.

I hate okra. I can't get past the slime or it's weird texture.

One of the signs of whether okra has been cooked properly is that there is no slime left. It pretty much dies out with the heat, and the texture also changes.

But yes, raw okra is not so pretty.

I made black,kidney,red and navy bean soup and it tastes good.

How much water and oil needs to be added?

[Asvi]

i didnt add water but you can. i think i used 2-3 tablespoon of oil. to be honest i didnt measure..just how ammis do it. lol

[sally]

i chopped a bunch of onions and froze them. then washed my hands with lemon. sigh...LEMON


my brother burnt something in the microwave and i HATEEEE hte burning smell. SO. i took a bowl, cut up a lemon and put it in it. then filled with water and microwaved it for a minute. the water smelt bad when i took it out so i threw it away and did it a couple more times. so in the end, the burn smell got sucked (or its in my head) or the warm lemon scent got around and the smell was gone.

AMEN.
