[CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain
Hi, I'm sorry for this slightly off topic post, but we all do need a working kitchen sink drain for cooking to clean the vegetables, meat, wash dishes or constantly wash our hands when cooking and other things. Ours is draining very slowly and I know there are products that you can buy to help with this, but I hear they're really not safe to use. I can't believe there's not at least one that a blind person can safely and independently use, so I'm asking you guys? I had heard that they had some Draino sticks or something like that and thought that might work, but I don't know the name of them and neither did the person that told me about them. If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, please give me some tips as I really don't want to call a plumber out till I absolutely have to. If I buy drinking alcohol and pour it down the drain, it helps, which I didn't do, but there was some old bottles around here that I did pour as neither my husband nor I drink alcohol. Again, sorry for the slightly off topic post, but I'd really appreciate any and all help anyone could give? Thank you. -- May YHWH bless you all E-Mail: lisapgeibel...@gmail.com ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain
I find pouring half a box of bacon soda followed by a cup of white vinegar, letting sit for a couple of minutes then allowing the hot water to run until all has evaporated works great for me. Of course the opposite sink has drain plugged in until finished cleaning the clogged sink before using other half of the box of bacon soda to clean the second drain The bacon soda I use is what I had sitting in my refrigerator. I believe they suggest replacing a new box once a month with I probably do every two months. So, when new box of bacon soda goes in refrigerator old box gets poured down drains as a routine.

Boil some water with some white vinegar. Let it cool for a minute then pour it down the drain. That's one suggestion I got from a plumber. I have also used Zep which can be found at home depot.

Re: [CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain
Hi Anna, Thanks much. I'm really new at all of this. Can you tell me a ratio of the white vinegar to water so I'll know how much to pour down it? Also is Zep a liquid or what? Does it have an odor? I have to ask these things as I have no sense of smell and my husband's very sensitive to things like that. Thanks much.

[CnD] Box Cake Brownies With Fudgy Frosting Recipe | CDKitchen.com
Box Cake Brownies With Fudgy Frosting Recipe | CDKitchen.com Turn a box of German chocolate cake mix into a delicious recipe for frosted brownies. Makes 35 servings. ready in: 1-2 hrs. ingredients BROWNIES 1 box (18.25 ounce size) German chocolate cake mix 1 extra large egg 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons Frangelico liqueur (or Amaretto or water) 1 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts FROSTING 7 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 tablespoons milk 1 1/4 cup sugar (I used cane sugar) 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract 1 tablespoon Frangelico liqueur (or use Amaretto) directions BROWNIES: In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except nuts. Using an electric mixer mix the ingredients well, bout 2 minutes. Batter will be extremely thick. Add nuts and incorporate well with mixer. Spray a 9 x 13 glass baking pan with vegetable spray. Spoon in batter and pat evenly with hand. Place in middle of oven and bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees F (turning pan half way) or until that brownie "crust" forms and toothpick comes out clean. DO NOT OVERBAKE! About 4 minutes before brownies are done, start your frosting. FROSTING: In a heavy bottom sauce pan combine milk, butter and sugar. Over medium heat while stirring constantly cook until it reaches a rolling boil. Remove spoon and boil for a solid 45 seconds. Turn off heat and add chocolate, coconut extract and Frangelico. Stir until chocolate is melted, then stir vigorously for 2 minutes. As soon as you stop stirring, spread frosting over warm brownies fast. Chocolate will start to set immediately. Cool completely and cut into squares. cook's notes I wanted to make some brownies and didn't have any good chocolate so I decided to re-purpose a cake mix. I was happily surprised at the outcome. I tried it with white sugar, but the brown sugar worked better. You can use this with any flavor cake mix. For a white or yellow cake mix use white sugar. You are only limited by your imagination. Change the type of cake mix and add different nuts, marshmallows, toffee bits, chocolate chips, etc. Have fun with it. This is a great one for the kids as well. Enjoy. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
Re: [CnD] OT: safely unclogging kitchen sink drain
Hi, it depends on what kind of zep you get. You can get a plain kind or an orange kind. Well I think it was orange. I can't remember what the plummer said but I believe it was 1 cup vinegar.

Re: [CnD] crazy food mistakes
My folks make sauerkraut from Germany and they are German. I had asked my mom how to make sauerkraut and she had said to get smoked ham hocks. At the time, I do not know what smoked ham hocks her. I was living in Louisiana at the time and I needed to make a very large pot of sauerkraut for the Louisiana Center for the blind. I went to the store and ask the meet apartment for ham hocks. They gave me peppered ham. I put this in the sauerkraut and that was the most peppery sauerkraut I’ve ever had. That was a mistake because I was expecting it to have a smoky flavor but instead it turned out to be very peppery. But since this was in Louisiana, it turned out to be one of the best mistakes I have made. Everybody loved the dish. I cannot repeat it since I don’t know what type of meat.
