My wife's friend gave her the ingredients from Sam's Club for the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits but we don't have the instructions. I know you add grated cheddar and water but we have no idea the proportions. Does anyone have the basic instructions? Thanks

College Degrees and Job Requirements
I was reading through another recent thread about college degrees and I was impressed with the number of people who have multiple degrees. I also know there has been a debate over the current high cost of higher education versus the availability of jobs in the chosen field, as well as the return on investment. That got me…

Non Scale Victory
OK, so part scale and part non-scale From a high of 262 I'm down to 224 today. The neat part is although I've never been a runner in my entire life, I'm now up to being able to run 4 miles straight in just 52 minutes!

Stupid thoughts while in the shower
Anyone else let their mind wander while in the shower? And then you think of totally off the wall stupid stuff? Like this morning for some reason the name "Seth" popped into my head and then I tried to figure out " which Seth?". That led to "why are there so many famous Seth's out there?" which eventually led to "The…

Android App to help me keep pace?
I'm in Week 5 and I'm starting to think about the pace of my run. Is there an Android app that will give me an audible cue for what pace I'm running? Nothing fancy, I don't need to track the progress of the Olympic track team My C25K app shows me what pace I did after my run, but that doesn't help me much WHILE I am…

Job offer gone wrong
Talking to a guy the other day and he mentions he's looking for someone to do some landscaping work. He said there's a bush blocking the view and he wants it completely removed, and out back there's a ravine completely overgrown and he wants all that cleared out as well. Said the job pays $100 per hour! We agreed to meet…

My dog's love/hate relationship
My Blue Heeler is really enjoying one part of my new lifestyle, every night she gets a 1 mile walk with me. What she doesn't like is that now I'm watching my portions I'm getting more territorial about my plate and she doesn't get the little snacks she was used to! LOL Anyone else's new lifestyle affecting their pets…

Commercials that make you hit mute or change the channel
My wife has the ability to tune out commercials, but I unfortunately can't seem to avoid hearing them. I know we have MFP members from all over the world, but I'm in the USA so these pertain to my location. I hate the Kit Kat commercial with the sounds of everyone snapping apart their stupid little Kit Kats. I hate the…

Business that refuses to accept cash?
For those outside the USA, our currency is printed with "Legal Tender for all debts, public and private" I just got a bill from a blood testing lab and it states "Credit Card or Cash Payments are not accepted" I thought legally they are required to accept cash?

Writing a Lifetime movie
So, in writing a movie for Lifetime tv I've already got the main character..the attractive yet shy girl who doesn't know she's good looking, and I've got the ladies dancing in the kitchen to 60's or 70's pop music while they make chocolate something-or-other. I have the frustrated friend who always gives advice to the main…

Annoyed by Reporters on Thanksgiving
I hate the idea of lazy reporters who rely on tired cliches to tell their story. This is the time of year when all the local tv stations feel the need to report on the free Thanksgiving meals given out by whatever organization...the church, the soup kitchen, the homeless shelter..which is all wonderful they can provide a…

Question about Festivus Dinner
This year I'm planning on hosting Festivus Dinner at my house but I have a few questions maybe you all can help me with. 1) should I stick with traditional meatloaf, or would it be a faux pas to try to doctor up the recipe a bit to make it a little more healthy? Like no-sodium salt, tofu meat substitute, etc. 2) what kind…

Power 90 - no change after two weeks
About two weeks ago I get a set of Power90 discs. So far I haven't seen any changes. Then my stupid wife picked up one of the discs, put it in the DVD player and hit "Play" Now she tells me I have to do everything the people on the screen are doing. Is she crazy? I dunno, that looks like a lot of work if you ask me! Then…

POTATO CHIPS! (Crisps) YUM!
I've always been a snack hound, and one of the hardest parts of eating right is giving up chips (or for you Brits "crisps"). I've been very good the last 4 weeks, but I've had a few salty snacks here and there. Now I've got a way to have my chips without all the junk the store-bought ones have! I got a gadget from Bed Bath…

Starvation mode really works!
I was comparing the energy burned in food calories to the energy burned from gasoline in my car. When someone posted that in order to lose weight you might need to eat more calories I came up with a brilliant plan. Since I wanted to get more miles-per-gallon I figured if I just added more gas to the tank I would burn less…

More weird ads on MFP
Thank you MFP for letting me know I can bank my cord blood! As a 50 yr old male it never would have occurred to me to do such a thing! Is it too late to go back to 1960 and salvage it ? :bigsmile:
