I don't get what happens. The special offers do not come up on your bill so what happens, does the driver give you the money back or something? I t seems weird to me

Also it says if you spend 50 pounds you get 5 pounds off so does that mean that the estimated bill has to be 50 or the final bill?
If it is the final bill then how am I supposed to calculate if I've spent 50 or not?

Here's what I've got... I want to throw a party for my husband at our hourse (usually it just involves everyone going out for drinks and it's become very boring). I was thinking about doing a margarita themed party with fajitas and ice cream cake, but other than that, I've got nothing. I'm looking at around 20 - 30 guests to be there. I have hosted parties before, but usually about 10 people. Can anyone give me any ideas as to how I might prepare food quickly, a good homemade margarita recipe (or a good brand of store bought) I've got the cake covered. Any other good mixed drinks that would keep the "spirit" of the party, just in case someone doesn't like/want margaritas? Also, what would you recommend for appetizers other than chips and salsa. What about a fun drinking game or other party game that could be played? And simple, fun decoration ideas too! Any and all ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help!

I go to people's houses and cook a meal for them but do not know what to charge for this service. I plan the meal, do the shopping (I keep the receipt to be reimbursed for the food), and cook the meal. The meals usually consist of an entree and at least two side dishes (all made in their kitchen-not just opening a quick, "pre-made" dinner and warming it up). I'm curious what everone considers a fair amount. I prefer it to be a "per meal" instead of an hourly rate. I take in consideration any food restrictions (for health reasons, dieting, or allergies) or preferences ("Jane doesn't like carrots.") when planning the meal and can make favorite dishes on request. Also, depending on the size of the family, they usually would have left-overs.

I am curious what people think is reasonable and fair.

I don't want to order easy drinks I could just as well make at home. I always want to try complicated ones that are worth ordering out. I do like a long island, but am looking for something else to choose.

Why do they do that if it is very unhealthy for humans? They should not do that. How come it isn't illegal?

This item was popular in the 60s and early 70s and likely the late 50s. It had a light to medium blue (almost a sky blue) wrapper with the text written in white, though there is a slight possibilty that the text was in black. It was some type of black licorice flavored candy. My dad ate it when he was a kid. He hates most candy now but once, ten or so years ago, they came out with a short nostalgic revival of this candy. I have a memory of him with it in his hand. I want to find that candy for him, for a birthday gift basket. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure I'm asking the wrong crowd but I thought I would try.

I keep a bunch of garlic in my cupboard, and there are some bunches I haven't used in over 6 months. The cupboard is nice and dry and dark, and when I look at the garlic, there isn't much mold or bruising anywhere, just a little wrinkling and some very small sprouts at the top. When is it time to toss away your garlic?

Green olives? Anything else gourmet related? I'm trying to put together a birthday basket for my father. These are things he likes. If you know a great brand for one item or even two it would be helpful. Don't feel like you need to answer for all the items....I'll give points to a good recommendation for anything I listed. Thank you:)

I use a blend of 1/4 Columbian to 3/4 Brazilian for a not too, too hearty brew.

I need to know this because im going to make 'Papas rellenas' [Cuban/Puerto Rican Ground-beef Stuffed Potato balls] and I dont want the potato to be breaking apart while im trying to stuff it with the beef and rolling the cracker/flour meal onto it.

I also hear that refrigerating the potato mash will harden it's conistency.[?]
