They live next door and recently had a baby. I was talking to them last night and asked if they had any food preferences or allergies. The wife said that Italian is their favorite so I added ingredients to my Instacart grocery...

Jim Bauer @porwest (65002) • United States 23 Mar

When you are in sales and are paid mostly on commission, every sale counts of course. As I have always said of my sales job is that the advantage is that it is business to business. That just means my customers are always...

Little-known facts (maybe) about Formula 1 racing cars

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304582) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Mar

F1 racing car driver, Daniel Ricciardo, was born in Perth, Western Australia, so it might not be a surprise to find one of his racing cars in the Whiteman Park Motor Museum in our state. I must admit I didn’t take a lot of notice...

Frugal Living: Slab of ribs turned into two meals to last for several days

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (64694) • United States 23 Mar

Earlier, I alluded to the fact that I was going to be doing some cooking, after I put up the four quarts/liters of chili. I have never bought a slab of spare ribs to cook before last week. I've always been intimidated by them....

The Horse The BBQ ribs sounds really good. And frugal. My latest "Very Frugal Meal" was more humble: Top Ramen with some very dry Safeway weekend fried chicken, serrano peppers and sliced zucchini tossed in. It was actually quite satisfying!
