Comment on How to quickly save crystallized honey by KGo

I have read that if you microwave honey, you will kill the natural enzymes and eliminate any of the nutritional benefits of honey. This is the same as what happens when you overcook or boil the honey. I’d stick with this low-heat method.

Dear sand colectors. I live in Belgium west-Europe.My hobby is collect sand and small lava stones from all around the world.I never imagined that sand could be so differend from beach to the next. The most facinating thing for me is the enommous variety of colors and grains of sand. The grains tell us storis about millions of years.
One of the simples and most efficent ways to increas my personal sand collection is to exchange sand with others. I hope to hear from you soon . I want tanking you in advance. Daniél.

Sharon, you have quite a bit of leeway in the calculations and can round them. A .45 measurement is just a half an inch, and 4.7 is 4 and 3/4 inches.

Thanks for the tips about pieces #2 and #4, Lou and Christie. I’ve amended my formula above with a special note. It’s so hard to keep up with all the new devices out there these days!

Jack, many of the challenges we used in our game could easily work for kids. (For example, the challenge where you pick up boxes while blindfolded). As for buff colors, you could choose any two you like, but we found red and blue to be great colors because it’s so easy to find accessories (balls, towels, buckets) in red and blue, so it was easy to coordinate.

Great info on the site. I’ve put together a few chili cook-offs but I love the idea of clip boards to hold 3 sample cups. Thanks for all the info. Great job!!!!

Vicki, the celery sounds like a great alternative for folks like my sister who don’t like onions. Thanks for the tip!

You could also slice a celery stalk in a thinner strip and put it in the middle. Add a little horseradish to the cream cheese mayo mix. Also you can use any kind of thinly sliced lunch meat – Buddig smoked turkey, deli sliced pastrami – lots of combos.

These are SO cool — and so simple! (I always look at those packs of adhesive foamie shapes and try to think of things to do with them….but I never get any great ideas, like this one!) I might be able to piggyback on this for something else entirely different. Thanks for the ideas!
