I want to boil excess liquid off of some soup and don't want to just dip the liquid off, as it would take away flavor, seasoning, etc.
If I place a lid on the pot the temperature of the pot will be greater and more of the surface of the soup should be at boiling point, so it should produce more steam, which I want. But...the lid would keep some of that steam from escaping, even though there are slots in the lid to allow for ventilation. Lid off means nothing to inhibit the escape of steam, but a lower temperature/lower portion of surface area boiling. What do you think? Lid on or off?

My husband placed them in the freezer, live, shell and all.
They've been in there for 2 weeks, are they ok to thaw out and eat?

Having grown up in the US, I understand that drinking can a social activity and that many people consider it fun and like doing it. I'm a non-drinker, but I have nothing against people that drink or judge them any differently for it. So kindly hear me out.
What I don't get is that if its illegal for a minor (< 21) to drink, why is it legal for a non-minor (21+) to do so? I mean, sure, protecting a child or youth from the harmful effects of alcohol is important, but every life is precious, not just a minor! I mean, 21, in my opinion is still pretty young to be playing around with one's life. Also, has one really gained a lot of maturity between the ages of 20 and 21 (where the cutoff lies in this country)? I somehow think not. I guess its assumed that by that time people can make suitable decisions about drinking, but unfortunately, one hears of so many DUI and drinking-related calamities, under-age or not, that it is difficult to guarantee this.

I need my samoas! I also need some tagalongs and thin mints and maybe I'd try one of the new ones too. Anyone know how to get them? (I even tried Ebay- No luck)

OK So I had a package of chicken tenderloins in the freezer... they weren't like gross or anything, a lil ice hair. So i rinsed them in cold water and tossed them in the skillet. They looked weird when they were cooking... like a salmon pink almost. I seasoned it up and now that its done... i'm leary. Should I eat it? Or save it for when my hubby gets home and pretend I made it just for him?? -evil grin-

They have all the good parts of a cinnamon roll in every bite. Cream cheese icing, cinnamon, brown sugar, touch of butter, warm sweet dough --what's not to like :-) I'm loving it! ba da ba dam ba
