What's your daily teeth cleaning / dental care routine?
bibiche replied to SKL's topic in The Chat Board
@Beth S They are good if people would otherwise not floss, but they are not ideal in that the same bit of floss is in contact with all the teeth/gums, potentially spreading bacteria. When you use floss, you use a new bit between teeth, so it’s more hygienic. -

FYI They make metal as well as biodegradable floss picks if you want to avoid the guilt. I’ve gotten them for my mom who reports that they work just as well. -
We got a letter from the school district approving our transcript and that was that. Do you not have to report to the local school superintendent in Ohio? If so, just ask them to look over the transcript to make sure it meets requirements for graduation and then get it in writing. ETA we were also told we needed a GED for one school. As it happens, it was a very junior admissions person who told us that and when we went up the ladder it was straightened out (of course a GED was not needed).

Party favors - as controversial as cupcakes?
bibiche replied to lauraw4321's topic in The Chat Board
I’ve never seen markers that aren’t in plastic… 😉 I’d go with paper lunch bags with a pencil and a tiny notebook and/or some bulk candy. Or maybe something like those wooden paddles with elastic and a ball attached? It isn’t a party until someone risks losing an eye. -
Need a little advice for traveling to Mumbai.
bibiche replied to Faith-manor's topic in The Chat Board
Oh, and let him know that the cabin of his plane will likely be sprayed. A small thing, but it can be freaky if you’re not prepared for it. -
What to read out loud after A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
bibiche replied to madteaparty's topic in The Chat Board
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate The Invention of Hugo Cabret My Side of the Mountain The Wolves of Willoughby Chase From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basel E. Frankweiler The Earthsea Series Cold Sassy Tree eta if you’re looking for an easy French series, Les messagers du temps was a hit here Sorry for being too lazy to add the authors. Also, I can’t say I remember exactly what age these are for, I just remember they were favorites here. -

bibiche replied to Faith-manor's topic in The Chat Board
Yeah, I get it. FWIW, I always have to tell my big city travel doctors what I need because I’m more familiar with where I’m going than they are. What usually happens is that I tell them, they don’t believe me, and then they come back after doing a bit of research and acknowledge that I was correct. 😆 -

@Faith-manor re typhoid vax, I’m pretty sure you can get it at CVS or Walgreens. There are also typhoid pills if the shot is hard to come by. It’s definitely something I would look into. Does his company not have a travel doctor ? -
I recommend an oldish book called Culinary Artistry by Dornenburg and Page. It is sort of a primer on combining flavors. Looks like they have a more recent book called The Flavor Bible. I have a friend who quite likes MasterClass cooking classes. She is an accomplished cook, but says she still learns new things/ gets ideas from watching them.

So I wanted to share a new thing I’m trying in my skincare routine
bibiche replied to Indigo Blue's topic in The Chat Board
Yup, mine is made in Germany too. I got it recently. Odd. -

bibiche replied to Indigo Blue's topic in The Chat Board
More than the German and Mexican ? I didn’t know that. It’s true that I didn’t get the last one in Germany but a different European country. I was surprised, because I’d gotten the regular old one in another country the month before. -

Not anymore, unless they have more than one formulation. The last tin I picked up has hydrogenated rapeseed oil and I think maybe shea butter. I think the Mexican version has mineral oil though. -
Where I live at least one person in that operation would be required to have gone through a food safety training program and passed an exam. Their truck would also be required to have a hand washing station. Restaurants generally have more health code violations than food trucks. You’re considering destroying someone’s livelihood for something you have no idea about. MYOB.

Anyone else fermenting things? Join the thread
bibiche replied to Laura Corin's topic in The Chat Board
A water-sealed fermentation pot is the easiest way to avoid this. And it makes the most satisfying bloop-bloop noise while it is fermenting. And doesn’t make the whole house smell like sauerkraut. -

I ferment sauerkraut in the cooler months. I have a big K&K Keramik crock that I love for this. I use it for cucumbers sometimes too. @regentrude What Amira said for the yoghurt. A simple way to keep the mix warm is to put it in a cooler with warm water. If you like thicker yogurt you can add a bit of milk powder beforehand.
