• Diary of a Guest Co-Host of 'The View' (ParentDish)

  Oct 22nd 2009 1:07PM I stopped watching The View a while back, but watched the segment of you on it speaking out about Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm applauding you for your courage and want to thank you for being the voice of the unheard/unborn. We need more people like you on TV!!! Congrats on the new baby and God bless!

• How do you de-fat? (Slashfood)

  Jan 14th 2007 7:03AM i use a "defatting cup" as well, but this is the first time i've heard/read it called that! i always knew it as a degreaser, or more commonly "fat separator", which is what it does. for soups with solids, i just pour through a strainer or sieve, then degrease the sieved liquid. it's really easy work, though multi-stepped especially if you have a large pot of stock to go through. my parents (and me, prior to getting the fat separator) have used the chill in the fridge/freezer method for years. got a tip for you though. when it's winter, just leave the pot outside overnight. very useful, esp. if you leave in the cold regions, like when we lived in snowy PA. and you free up room in your ref/fre too!

• New approach to food allergies (Slashfood)

  Apr 6th 2006 5:13PM "not bad" is very subjective. just talk to some allergy sufferers, especially moms of young children. also imagine an adult who ate eggs and drank milk all his life and at 40+ is now told he has to stop consuming these things because of allergies. i also don't agree that the burden should be on the sufferer -- yes, we have to take responsibility for our bodies and what we put in it, but with the rise in allergies and asthma, i want to know that other people, not just those of us who are affected by these conditions, are concerned and are willing to understand and do something about it.
