I posed the original question.

@kayshin, I actually stumbled across maggi in my cupboard the other day. And tastewise, it's a good stand-in, but it's super-salty (I guess I'm used to the low-sodium soy sauce) and loaded with MSG. But, it'll do in a pinch.

Yeah, I looked at Bragg's and the GF soys first too. I'm super curious about coconut aminos, never heard of those. Are they high in saturated fat?

I don't mean to be dense, but I'm signed in and I don't see a form? (But I do love the canisters!)

@AButler, in another recipe of mine, 2 mashed bananas is estimated to be about 1 cup freshly mashed (not frozen). Although, I would think the freezing has a negligible effect.

We had the frog in my son's room and a very fancy high-end non-Crane humidifier in our bedroom and the frog wins hands down. The filterless-ness is key; plus, it's nearly silent. They've now come out with a more modern-designed teardrop version and we've purchased one for the adult bedroom.

The only downside is the mineral deposits on the black disk within the humidifer, but I think that was from laziness on our part, in not cleaning it often enough.

Any ideas for recipes with already cooked shrimp? I have a lot leftover from a shrimp cocktail party plate and would like to do something other than eating it with cocktail sauce.

We used Willow Branch by AFC - I would describe it as a springy green. We have yet to create the rest of my toddler son's room around this accent wall, but after living with it for a few months, I still love the color.

keltrue: The Heinz beans are on sale right now at World Market.

I was actually eyeing these for a purchase recently. It's a perfect travel flashback!

We have a curious toddler at home, so we bought a plastic box with latching sides. We got ours at Target and it's a little more secure than this one, but you get the idea:

In that box, we put all sharp blades from our blender, immersion blender, hand mixer, our crazy pineapple cutter, etc. It's not beautiful, but it gets the job down for a few bucks.

I agree that orchids are not as difficult to care for as one might think. However, I've found that the source of the plant does matter. The ones I purchase from a nursery always seem to do better than the cheaper ones from Trader Joe's. Don't get me wrong; I love TJs, but for some reason, I can never get thos plants to bloom again.

Anyone else have a similar experience or a solution?

So now what? Does a subscriber have any recourse or compensation? I'm so bummed since I'm a new subscriber.
