I steam it in the microwave, saves pots and pans. Broccoli soup (or any cream of vegetable soup) is easy. Saute as many thin sliced onions as there is broccoli til soft in oil or butter, add cut up and stem peeled broccoli, add chicken broth to just below the top of vegetables, cover til broccoli is cooked, season and puree, I use an immersion blender, add evaporated milk to taste. Yum. You should mention that if you peel the stems they are tender and great! I steam it in the microwave, saves pots and pans. Broccoli soup (or any cream of vegetable soup) is easy.

Everyone reacts differently to bites and some do not react at all. People should perform their inspection as per your tips and with a keen eye, they will spot the infestation. Nice work!

Many stores and coffeeshops sell what they claim to be cappuccino but it really isn't. Often it is made from powders or made by people who don't even know what espresso is. The only way to find out is by trying the 'real' thing. We can buy them in 7-11 but, for taste's sake, if I want cappuccino, I just won't waste my money there. I'll just go to the nearest coffeeshop that sells the real thing. Once you've had it, it's difficult to drink anything else! I promise!

]]> Comment on How to Make Homemade Soap by Jasche Soap http://thinkhowto.com/how-to-make-homemade-soap#comment-9 Jasche Soap Sun, 21 Nov 2010 04:07:57 +0000 http://thinkhowto.com/?p=1181#comment-9 First, the soap in the picture is "melt and pour". It is preprocessed, allowing you to avoid working with lye. While Melt & Pour soap isn't as good for your skin as "cold process" soap, it is better than commercially processed bars of detergent (incorrectly called soap) as it has added glycerin. The last thing I wanted to point out is that making your own soap is not a way to save money. Good quality oils, essential oils and colorants are expensive, and can be difficult to obtain in smaller quantities. If your goal is only to save money then go to the local grocery store and pick up the bars of detergent. If your goal is excellent skin care then take the time to learn how to make quality cold process soap safely. Alternatively, many soap makers, such as myself, offer a wide variety of high quality CP soaps in online shops, at local craft shows, or local specialty shops. Many soap makers will even create soaps with specific ingredients by special request. If your goal is simply to have some fun, and make some pretty soaps for family use, then Melt & Pour is the best way to go. It allows you to create a great variety of colors and scents quickly and easily - perfect for those wanting to just dabble in soap making. Whatever you choose... Enjoy!!!
