I work at a grocery store and lots of people buy plantain bananas, but I would love to know what they're used for. I read that they're ripe when they're yellow, but they're always green when people buy them. i'm confused.

Im Hosting a small get together. I can't figure out the price. About 20-25 people are coming. I want someone to help me figure out the price and if they have any ideas for different foods or other things. I could really only think of Pizza, chips, and sodas.

I know that you aren't supposed to refreeze meat, chicken, etc after you have thawed it. But why? What happens to it?

My puppy plays and chews on an empty bottle and I never thought she could get the protective cap off. Not sure if ingested any of it. It feels like wax to me.

It seems that veggies who dont eat fish look down on us who do, whilst non veggies think were crazy and question why fish but not pig or chicken? Well i'll give you the answer, i'm a growing girl. I need my protein and iron! I dont always like to eat fish, but I do it so I grow normally. Also, fish are free and have a chance to live a happy life, unlike pigs and chicken who are destined to be eaten, and live sad little lives in cages being forced fed until they burst....

Any comment? Bring them on!

My husband and I need a new oven. We aren't professional cooks by any means but he is convinced we need a convection oven because they bake more evenly. Are they really worth the extra money? Don't regular ovens bake plenty evenly for a couple who only bakes about once every other month... and when that occurs it's always something that's coming from a box? Thanks in advance for the advice....

Just wondering. Can you use polenta with anything you would use rice or pasta? I have never had it before, does it have much of a flavor? What are the best ways to cook it? Some easy recipies would be nice :) Thanks!

Do you need to do anything before eating it? Like... peeling it? Are there any special things I have to know first? Is it like an apple where you can eat almost all of it or something?

I have those bisquits in a tube and I have Krusteaz pancake mix. Which would work better as a substitute? I usually call my Mom but she's away on vacation. Thanks in advance.
