robynlisa No I don't think it is. I think that when people break-up it's for a good reason. Either they couldn't solve a discrepancy they had, they weren't compatible or they just couldn't see eye to eye. I think most people who return to a relationship after breaking...

robynlisa I think the right age for pregnany varies. For me, it would be whenever I have the following: -stable job -permanent housing -supportive partner -desire to raise child -willingness to put myself second and put the child first -money saved

robynlisa Although I personally don't think that it is a good idea for two people who don't know much about each other to get married, I don't think it is anyone's place to tell you that you can't. It is great that you two are getting better and working at it. A strong...

I am having company for a few days. I work the entire time they are here. I thought I would make some simple things to have on hand like Rice Krispie bars. Do any of you have a new spin you can put on them? I think I'll frost them...

robynlisa in the same vein as frosting them, it would be fun to melt some chocolate chips and dip 1/2 of the bar in chocolate and 1/2 in something else like melted butterscotch chips or cherry chips or peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips. They would be tasty,...

robynlisa when I was little I was always told that you're not allowed to say that you don't like something until you have at least 1 bite. I encourage you to employ this tactic with her. Have her try a bite of something everytime you make it. Refuse desserts/treats if...

robynlisa I'd say start out with veggies that are sweet/tasty that most people like. Some would be sweet potatoes/yams and carrots. They are both sweet and generally appealing to people who are new to veggies. Then work up to brocolli, peas, and other greens. Find out...

Do you usually use instant or fresh potatoes?

Jennifer21 @Jennifer21 (2476) • United States 22 Jul 07

I love to use fresh potatoes the most, they just seem to taste better in my opinion. But, I don't cook potatoes very often, and most of the time, when I buy them, they will just sit until they get too old to use. So, I have...

robynlisa I think it depends on what you are making. Most potato dishes I use fresh. For example- au gratin potatoes, french fries, oven fries, home fries, breakfast potatoes, hash browns, etc. Sometime I do use boxed potatoes to make mashed potatoes. It is...

robynlisa I definitely count my mom as one of my best friends. We talk at least once a day. Email each other daily as well. When anyone asks my biggest fear I always say my mom dying. I can't imagine what my life will be like when she dies. She is too big of a part in...

robynlisa Rice is a great way to bulk up meals when you're low on funds ( as we often are). I like to take plain rice (arborio, white, or brown) and transform it. One thing to do is use 2 fresh tomatoes, or 1 can of tomatoes and combine it with diced jalapenos or 1...

Grilling -- Charcoal or Propane gas... which do you use?

zeloguy @zeloguy (4911) • United States 26 Jul 07

It's summer time here in the States and grilling is well under way in many households. What kind of heat do you use and why... do you use gas or do you use charcoal and why?

robynlisa personally we use charcoal. Mainly we use it because we got a grill given to us for free and it takes charcoal. Growing up my parents used propane. I feel that they both give a really distinct flavor. I like charcoal because it feels like you're eating food...
