is soda water fattening?

Hey Blue,

Well, No… If you are getting true carbonated water. If you were in a bar and they served you water from their “Gun” — it would be true carbonated water.

However, If you are getting it from a bottle (probably) then take a look at the ingredient listing. If the words Acid or Sodium are listed then the bottle is artificially carbonated and contains SALT! While that is not fattening, the intake of salt can alter the amount of water that your body retains and will add weight.

rachael ray new show?

Hey Ana,

I happen to like Rachael Ray. I have watched her for many years.

The show, which by the way, is not a Food Network pet project, as someone has mentioned, is produced by HARPO. (That would be Oprah Winfrey).

It was a train wreck. Yes, she went way too fast. Yes, I could barely keep up. Yes, She called herself a Chef (She has always said the she is NOT a chef, just a good “fake-out” cook). Yes, she cut herself twice within 10 minutes (Not the most appetizing thing to have on a cooking show)

BUT,

She is well liked, and like anything else that is done with very little rehearsal, should change over time. Whether that change is good or bad, we’ll soon see. I too wish her luck! She has certainly made cooking, for me at least, a lot more enjoyable and much quicker than it used to be.

And she is entertaining!

p.s. You can’t fault a gal who has a dog named “Boo!” (It’s from a song from the 1970’s — They chorus was “Me and You and a Dog named Boo!”)

Favorite Answer:

Hey “G”,

I wanted a Monkey when I was young too!

My mom said no!

She spanked me because I asked soo much!

I got lonely!

So I spanked my own Monkey!

Now if I get lonely, I spank my monkey!

Problem solved and I don’t have to play with my monkey if I don’t want too!

Horse fly spray?

Favorite Answer:

Hey CJ,

I don’t know where you are writing from.

Here in the United States most tack and feed stores (I have also seen it at Pets Smart) carry a Marigold Extract Spray. It’s safe for Horses and lasts for several days.

I don’t remember the product name, but if you ask about it, they will definitely know what you are talking about.

Hope this helps,

how to get rid of air pocket from the chocolate produce from a block chocolate moulding machine.?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Charles,

Sorry, I don’t happen to have all that fancy equipment.

But I do have a Washing Machine…

Whenever I make chocolates, small or large molds — as they are setting, I put them on top of my washing machine and set the machine for spin cycle. It vibrates all of the bubbles out!

The bubbles are caused because when your machine (or for poor folks, like me, my spoon) stir the chocolate to keep from burning, bubbles get trapped into the chocolate. They get smaller as the machine (spoon) stir and break the bubbles. The only way to get rid of bubbles is to vibrate.

Someone says that they use a toothpick. Yes, that works for smaller molds, only if you can see the bubbles. If you can’t get a vibrating plate – Maybe you could get a small personal vibrating pad.

That should get rid of all of your bubbles — or you could borrow my washing machine.

Hope this works for you,

James in San Diego
