Next time, I'll double or triple the green beans, but they have just started popping so I used the quantity as listed and since it felt light on greens added some Malabar spinach right at the end. Was concerned about getting the cooking times right so…

Pomegranate Molasses questions
I keep hearing about Pomegranate Molasses on food podcasts. Who uses it? For what recipes? If you buy it, what brand do you like? If you make it from reducing juice, what's your recipe? How tart is it? My OH doesn't like tart. If it's really tart, I will make it for my mother and brother. Here's a recipe I'm considering,…

New tax bill and estimated taxes for FY2018
(I will ask a CPA this, but not until she's done with tax season, so thought I'd ask the smart people here.) 1. I'm an IC who pays estimated taxes quarterly. I just filed my taxes with Turbo Tax and was given the estimated taxes amounts for FY2018. I used the same income as last year, and my estimated tax amounts went up…

How Carob Traumatized a Generation
I'm posting this here instead of Chit Chat because in addition to hating on carob, I wanted to get people's thoughts on the part I quoted. I've tried cauliflower "rice" and squash "pasta" and in the end decided to go with the higher calorie real thing, and just make room for it, usually by eating less of it. (I realize…

The results I'm getting include a lot of limitations like vegan, paleo, and/or gluten-free, which are not necessary for my purpose. Taste and increased protein content (no specific target) are the only…
