I am about to sautee broccoli in my wok with a little olive oil and garlic. I like my broccoli cooked all the way through. I usually just steam it. I am really bad at this cooking stuff! I am using a pan that resembles a wok- About how long should I roll it around in there for? 10 points right away for a good answer- ThxHow long does broccoli take to cook all the way through in a wok?
I would start with 3 minutes, then pull a piece of broccoli out and taste it. If it is done enough for you, turn off the heat, if not, cook another minute and repeat. The great thing about knowing how you like veggies cooked is that after you figure it out, you have a solid recipe that you can make without thinking about it in the future. Hope this helps!How long does broccoli take to cook all the way through in a wok?
It depends on the size but 3-5 minutes should be enough once you have adde the water.
To make things easier I would suggest you blanch them first.

I need to Know how to get help with Diapers for my baby...?
My husband and I have fallen on hard times. He has a lot of Mental disorders and can't hold a job. He has tried but it never woks out. Now he is on some really strong meds that make him almost incapable of even driving. I Lost my job working with MRDD clients when I was 71/2 months pregnant. We were staying with his parents, but now they have kicked us out because we had an argument over how we should raise the baby. His mother was providing the diapers in exchange for me taking care of the house and cooking everyday. Now we are just staying wherever we can find a bed to sleep in. We get food stamps for the baby and myself and we are on WIC, but now I don't know how we are going to get her diapers. We are in Clermont County Ohio, 45103. I was jsut wondering if anyone had any information that could help. I am trying to find a job, but so far haven't had any luck at all and I have been looking for about 5 months now.
so if anyone knows of any place that can help or any place that might need help, it would be appreciated. I have experience in caring for elderly MRDD people and in Restaurant Management.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksI need to Know how to get help with Diapers for my baby...?
if your husband cant get a job try because he is med try getting him on disabilityI need to Know how to get help with Diapers for my baby...?
Check out family welfare/family services, or help from the Catholic Churches, Baptist Churches and/or get cloth diapers. Are you able to get onto Access insurance for people that are not employed. I don't know if you have a St. Elizabeth of Hungry organization there but if possible they help in a lot of ways.
I wish you the best of luck in getting some good help.
i'm so sorry you are in a rough spot now. you have a lot of good suggestions here, the most important being to get your husband on SSI for disability- start now- it is a long process.
i always see lots of diapers (and other baby stuff) on freecycle- diapers in sizes that have been outgrown or allergies or whatever.
its a yahoo group- check it out
I think you should invest in cloth nappies will save you money and while you will have to clean them at least your baby will be covered and you wont have to worry about buying nappies everyday.
It is so sad to hear your situation, hang in their and I hope someone on here has some better information for you.
Cloth diapers
I am sorry to hear that. I know it seems like when it rains it pours we have also had our share of money problems but thats life and we manage. But your problems are worse and I feel bad and wish i lived closer to you to help. See if you have any close friends or relatives that will exchange groceries for diapers and if so you can buy them so much groceries and they can give you money for diapers or whatever else you need. I also believe you can call your medicaid office and they can help just tell them your situation. Goodluck and I hope things get better I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

These jokes suck!!!
these are the most stupidest jokes i have ever heard
those jokes are SO BAD that im going to puke
also where did you get those jokes out of your but or what
dude, you should really delete this question, the jokes suck...... really badly
hahahaha funny....
check out this joke:
One winter morning a husband and wife in northern Colorado were
listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer
say, ';We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must
park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the
snowplows can get through.';
So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio
announcer said, ';We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today.
You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so
the snowplows can get through.';
The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio

Can you help me create a simple mushroom stew? (repost with responses)?
I am trying to create a simple mushroom stew with assorted mushrooms.
My idea is to use an assortment of mushrooms from a limited produce aisle (Food Lion).
I would like to saut茅 the mushrooms in butter with celery, garlic and onions (veggies first).
After the vegetables are translucent adding chicken broth bringing to a boil then simmering.
My questions to you are:
1) Are there mushrooms that don鈥檛 work well with others?
2) Are there vegetables you would add or delete?
3) What breads or condiments will work?
4) Will this suck?
Here are comments and ideas I received:
1) Not really; use whatever is fresh and looks good
2) I'd use onions, garlic, and thyme for sure, maybe some thinly chopped celery
3) a hearty sourdough or ciabatta would be great to go alongside your stew.
4) No way! Sounds great to me!
More like a soup than a stew to me. You would end up with rubbery mushrooms.
A traditional soup with just broth would turn out bland - and more like just a veggie type broth
Parsnips, red onion, leeks, barely, any vegetables you like will do. Mushroom is such a special flavor...Go easy on the onion and garlic...Celery is good to use, try dicing up some of the celery leaves as well...
Bigger cut button mushrooms, crimini's or portabellas added at the end will not to turn it black.
Vegetable stock is also good instead of chicken base for vegetarians.
Use a roux or slurry to thicken at the end for serving. Served over orzo would be cool.
You could make it creamy if you add equal parts of milk or cream and some flour. Mix these and add an equal portion of soup broth, stir and whisk into soup, bring to a boil until soup thickens...At the end use a drop or two of yellow food coloring and your soup will look much more appetizing...
You would do best with a cream of mushroom soup - same basic procedure you are looking for- add cream, seasoning, and some leeks
Garnish to of soup with sliced green onion or a few chopped oregano leaves!
1) A simple baguette with butter would work on the side....2) I would serve this with French bread and butter if you like...A salad should be served also.
I would prefer the mushrooms by themselves dressed with melted butter, so I could judge how they taste. I would serve them on toast, with some cooked tomatoes, as a side, or perhaps on another slice of toast.
Wild mushrooms meaning such as shiitakes, oyster, chanterelles, Portobello (which isn't wild but is a good beefy hardy mushroom.
Most recipes say you can add shaved Parmigiano - Reggiano cheese, and parsley (fresh is usually better but dried works very too.)

How many circuits are needs?
Sharon tells you that they will have many appliances in the kitchen. A microwave, refrigerator, blender, toaster oven, toaster, can opener, electric fry pan, electric wok, mixer, clock radio, clock, crock pot, and dishwasher. Stan says that his computer and printer, and Sharon's ironing and sewing ';stuff'; will be in the same bedroom. Stan uses an electric razor, while Sharon uses a blow dryer and curling iron in the main bath.
They also inform you that in the morning, Stan cooks breakfast while Sharon does her hair in the bathroom. And in the evening, while Sharon cooks dinner, Stan works on his computer or watches TV in the living room. Sharon likes to sew or iron while Stan does the budget on the computer.
They show you a sketch of the floor plans for the house. The dimensions of the rooms are as follows: kitchen: 12'x15', living room: 15'x25', spare bedroom: 10'x12'.
Is there a minimum number of outlets that must be wired for each room? How are overhead light switches wired into the circuit?
Sketch the wiring diagram for the kitchen. Do you need more than one circuit breaker for the kitchen? Design the wiring so that no circuit breaker opens while Sharon is using several of her appliances cooking dinner. Be sure to give several examples of multiple appliance use.
When you have answered these questions and sketched the wiring diagram, check with your instructor before doing the final activity.
Construct a wiring plan for the kitchen, main bathroom, spare bedroom, and living room in the new house with the minimum number of circuits which will still suit Stan's and Sharon's mode of living. Your design should insure that no circuit breakers will trip during the busy mornings or evenings. Be sure to include the normal items in rooms (lights, stereo, VCR, etc.) as you plan your wiring diagram.
Written by Barbara J. DuchHow many circuits are needs?
If the residence is being constructed in the USA, then refer to Article 200 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC spells out many required circuits and number of outlets, and provides calculation methods.How many circuits are needs?
wow waste of time.
The fastest way I can think of would be to calculate about how many watts eveything will be total. Go online and look at microwave specs.....etc
You can get 10A @ 120V out of one circuit. 10A x 120V = 1200 Watts.
Divide your total Wattage of all appliances by 1200 and thats how many you will need.

New dieter, help with dieting ?
Hi I am looking to lose weight, using a balanced diet. My knowledge of food and cooking technics are rather poor. I am cooking skinless chicken breast with spring onion and garlic for flavour rather than using sauces. But need to know if using a wok is bad like using a frying pan and how does it compare to grilling the chicken?
The wok is none stick so I am not going to use butter or oil.
Also how fattening is boiled rice?New dieter, help with dieting ?
Dieting is a good start, but if you want to loose weight and keep it off do some exercise like running.
I've done exercise my whole life and i eat what i want!
A wok is a good way of cooking because you cook the food quick and keep all the goodness in.

I wanna loose weight but have very little motivation?
I work at McDonald's on my feet the entire shift 5 days out of the week. They offer us a free meal on our 20/30 minute break. I try to eat the smallest amount of calories.... but still I know! There are only like 2 people that bring their lunch and I'm nervous to bring my food in because I don't wanna be the dork with the lunch box? I can't not eat either because it's the first meal of the day for me and I'm usually so hungry by then. So after my work day my feet hurt by the time I get home and I lack the motivation to get on my treadmill. I live at home and it's not an option to workout before I go to wok because that would be at like 4 in the morning when the house is dead silent. I've cut pop down to maybe 3 a week and I've been drinking a lot of water. I've cut down on how much I eat out. If my parent don't cook or make something that isn't fried I eat a lean cuisine for dinner or make something myself. I know I'm addicted to food. I know I have a problem and I want to fix it. I don't wanna be the fat girl anymore. I am not an ugly person I'm just overweight. I want to be happy in my own skin again. I can't quit my job it won't fix the problem. I'm 21 years old. I'm 5 feet exact and I weight 225 give or take. It changes but not very much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please don't be rude. Thanks.I wanna loose weight but have very little motivation?
My Mom use to say ';my apistat is broken.'; I say, '; I am on a see-food diet. I see food...I eat it.'; It's not easy, but it can be done once you get started on a plan.
You have a tough job at McDonald's and not a lot of support at home if your family often prepares fried foods. It would be helpful if we knew what your job hours were and what you like to do when you are not working.
You weigh 225 and would like to lose 10 pounds. Right? ';No,'; you will probably say, ';I want to lose 100 pounds.'; Well, this feels overwhelming, especially if you want it to be gone by yesterday. Think in terms of two pounds at a time and plan on two years, That sounds like a long time when you want to be ';happy in your own skin'; now, but you will feel better every month.
(1) When I need to drop 10 pounds, I begin with keeping a ';food/mood/activity'; journal. I am a snacker so it is easy for me to overlook those 10 jellybeans. I can't if I am recording everything that passes through my lips...even gum.
(2) I follow a diabetic diet because it keeps my blood sugar at a more constant level all day. If I get tired, I am more apt to ';pig out'; on some quick-energy food
(3) At the end of the day, I review the journal. I look at what and when I ate. I also look at how my mood affected my eating patterns. I count the calories and look to see where I can make changes if I went over what is recommended for someone of my height and weight. For example, I may eat the hamburger or chicken but not the bread.
(4) To increase activity, I park a distance away from my work if it is during the daylight hours. I take the stairs whenever possible and take more frequent short walks.I find that stretching perks me up more than food when I am tired.
(5) Find a friend who also wants to lose 10 pounds. Get together after work, change your shoes to some comfortable ones and walk somewhere.
(6) NO POP or juices.unless they are diet. They are like sugar on a spoon. I drink club soda with a lemon or even diet tonic water.
For me, small meals throughout the day work better than three larger meals. Check out from the library a book on diabetes and learn about food groups and try a 1000-1500 calorie food plan.
Lastly, remember beauty comes from the inside and happiness is a choice. You sound like you are a people person and people like you are fun to be around. Good luck and keep us up-to-dateI wanna loose weight but have very little motivation?
wow, would you rather be fat or be the dork with the lunch box?
there are priorities you need to sort out.

(1) When I need to drop 10 pounds, I begin with keeping a ';food/mood/activity'; journal. I am a snacker so it is easy for me to overlook those 10 jellybeans. I can't if I am recording everything that passes through my lips...even gum.
(2) I follow a diabetic diet because it keeps my blood sugar at a more constant level all day. If I get tired, I am more apt to ';pig out'; on some quick-energy food
(3) At the end of the day, I review the journal. I look at what and when I ate. I also look at how my mood affected my eating patterns. I count the calories and look to see where I can make changes if I went over what is recommended for someone of my height and weight. For example, I may eat the hamburger or chicken but not the bread.
(4) To increase activity, I park a distance away from my work if it is during the daylight hours. I take the stairs whenever possible and take more frequent short walks.I find that stretching perks me up more than food when I am tired.
(5) Find a friend who also wants to lose 10 pounds. Get together after work, change your shoes to some comfortable ones and walk somewhere.
(6) NO POP or juices.unless they are diet. They are like sugar on a spoon. I drink club soda with a lemon or even diet tonic water.
For me, small meals throughout the day work better than three larger meals. Check out from the library a book on diabetes and learn about food groups and try a 1000-1500 calorie food plan.
Lastly, remember beauty comes from the inside and happiness is a choice. You sound like you are a people person and people like you are fun to be around. Good luck and keep us up-to-dateI wanna loose weight but have very little motivation?
wow, would you rather be fat or be the dork with the lunch box?
