The amount of money required by a man to lead a normal human life depends principally on the life style of the concerned individual. Obviously, normalcy varies from person to person. What is normal to one may be abnormal to...

Shugarmama I agree with you and I think it is a shame that more people do not understand that everyone is different. People make fun and ridicule others for the way they dress or the cars they drive, etc. but these things are perfectly acceptable in their socio-economic...

Hi everyone! I really love chocolate cake. I learned my own on how to bake it. I have problems on making the frosting. No matter how I follow the recipe book, I just can't get it right. I can't make it thick and stick to my...

Shugarmama Try this recipe: Cream a stick of softened butter (not margarine--use real butter) with an electric mixer until it is soft; gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar to butter (be careful while adding you don't want the sugar flying all over you and the kitchen);...

Let's try your brains to work and think! Try guessing what these means: "The prudent avis which matutinally deserts the coziness of its above will emulate a vermiculate creature" Good luck and happy mylotting!

When I began my annual holiday shopping list, I started listing all the things that my family members expect to have for each of our "get-togethers" along with each of the little ones' recipes to help make. All of this made me...

Shugarmama Happy baking to you as well. Are there any special traditional desserts you especially enjoy making?

I was ecstatic when I discovered cake decorating was one of the interests here on Mylot. I was equally dismayed when I saw the lack of responses and/or discussions. I hope there is someone here on mylot who shares my passion for...

Shugarmama I realize you started this discussion a long time back, but it struck a chord with me. I too was ecstatic when I saw cake decorating as a interest and so disappointed when I saw how long it had been since any discussion, etc. Do you think there might be any...

I checked this as one of my interests because I have made candles for many years and enjoy coming up with new ways to make candles using things I have on hand. I would like to hear about how others make candles using inexpensive...

Shugarmama Personally I re-used wax from old candles, mine and any of my friends who would save them for me. Like you, I could never justify the cost of buying wax; the candles would wind up costing as much as if I had bought them pre-made. But by remelting old candles,...

Cupcakes have been the in thing for a while but I rarely buy them because I like to do my own baking. Recently a friend brought us some from a department store where she works. I know they aren't cheap (even with a staff...

Shugarmama Having been in the hospitality business for more years than I care to mention, I can attest to the fact that you are absolutely right in your assessment. When something (i.e. cupcakes, chocolate tables, fondant cakes, edible art) is "in" customers are willing...

Do you know this major change? Henceforth the "I" that we use to speak of ourselves will not be used as a block letter. It can be used as a capital letter only if it comes at the beginning of the sentence as a common rule. The...

Shugarmama Perhaps you misunderstood the article or it was a satirical piece of common errors creeping into mainstream usage? I know I recently read a piece somewhere (quite sure it was not the Indian news) that was just such a satire. The point of it was that as people...

Often times many people find comfort in food - do you? Or are you like some of the people who are comforted by words from friends? Or do you find comfort being alone, maybe in prayers, or in meditation, or in places where...

Shugarmama I personally find comfort in food, but not in eating. What I mean is I find it very comforting to prepare food, especially for people I care about. I also enjoy relaxing with cookbooks and planning menus.

Shugarmama I agree with you and believe that if they do not do something soon it will either go off the air or at the very least have to move to one of the smaller networks. And, personally I am sick of seeing the same people on season after season--how many times are we...

Shugarmama Sorry, freymind, but there are no other shows like Criminal Minds that I know of. There was a spin-off which I cannot remember the exact name of (Criminal Minds-something else) starring Forrest Whittaker, but it did not last long. It just did not have the same...
