my sister is going to have gastric bypass done and she needs to stop drinking soda. Also she is diabetic.

What are some drinks with no carbonation other than tea water and juices?

My nana gave me what she called a "komar" (not sure on the spelling). But it is a cast iron grill. it's flat on one side and raised edges like a grill on the other side. i have used the raised side a few times to cook some carne asada, but what do i do now if i want to use the flat side? She gave me some manteca (or lard) to clean it, but i'm not really sure how to do this. i want to be sure to have the raised side clean enough so it can face down; is this possible?
and does anyone know how I'm supposed to clean it? especially with the lard? Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

What is fresh produce? My mom had a coupon for $1.50 off fresh produce. We bought a bag of mixed salad, mixed broccoli and cauliflower, a bag of carrots and some green onions we had to bag ourself. When we tried to use the coupon (which you had to spend a min. of $5.00) they said we had not met the minimum because the bagged stuff was not FRESH PRODUCE. What is your opinion on this. The bagged stuff is still fresh isn't it? Bagged carrots are not fresh?

I am a serious home cook and I want to upgrade my chef's knife. I own a farberware forged 8 inch chef's knife (it isn't as bad as it sounds) and it works fine, but it isn't professional. I want to buy either a Global 8 inch chef's knife (g-2 model) or a wusthof grand prix 8 inch chef's knife. The Global knife is about $30 more, but I am concerned that the grand prix isn't sharp enough or isn't as good as the Global. I wouldn't mind spending extra money if the Global knife is better, but if the grand prix is just as good or better, I would like to save the money. What should I do?

See here's my problem, I don't know how to cook. How embarrassing but true. So I kinda promised my boyfriend I would cook for us this New Years Eve before heading out to a party. I thought of it as a joke but he seemed to like the idea. I so put myself on the spot and now I'm freaking out. I was going to ask my mom to do the cooking but that's so not cool. Plus he knows my mom's cooking to well.lol
By the way he's not so big on sides and loves red meat.

& also, what kind of meat do you recommend I put in my black-eyed peas? Do you think I should have collard, mustard, or turnip greens? or spinach? What's a good New Year's dessert? Do you think I should have koolaid or soda? Sorry for so many questions.

I live in a cold weather country so in winter, local produce is non-existent and we have no choice but to purchase imported fruits and vegetables.

I'm no sure what the best way to clean them is. I've always washed them with soap and dried with paper towels but I'm not sure that's the best way.

I've seen some gizmos that you can buy and put the stuff in and it supposedly uses some chemical reaction to clean of pesticides but that seems a tad too gimicky for my liking.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance and happy new year,
DT

I'm making my own wine from a "Make Your Own Wine" kit from Lakeview Valley Farms. I am ready to bottle the wine, but I have been warned to make sure the wine is de-gassed (from CO2) before bottling the wine. The instructions with the kit say nothing about this issue. How do I de-gas the wine?
