• Yikes! McCancer. An appropriate moniker. This reminds me of the 2004 documentary film by Morgan Spurlock “Supersize Me”. By the 3rd week of a month long McDonalds diet one of his doctor’s told him his liver was sustaining damage as if he were an al…

• no problem nycgrrl – I just felt I had to say something. I live in NY, but not NYC and I find prices to be really looney and often difficult to manage. I can only imagine what it is like in the city. Wishing you and everyone all the best. – Cheers!

• Parchment paper does not need “wax” to be non-stick. Occasionally you may get a recipe that is a bit troublesome in terms of stickiness, but I’ve used parchment paper for years & years with no big problems whatsoever. It works great!

  in Dehydrator and Wax Paper Comment by greenghost

• Hey – I think it’s great to not use AC. I haven’t used mine much at all this summer either. I only wished to offer a possible suggestion of a way to keep cool without AC. And the second bit was just for fun. Honestly.

  in SUPERFOODISTS Comment by greenghost
