Your Questions About Food Network

Nancy asks…

On Food Network’s television show, Cupcake Wars, what do they do with all of the extra cupcakes?

In Food Network‘s television show, Cupcake Wars, two people create thousand cupcake displays. Since they choose only one winner, I was just curious as to what they do with the other thousand cupcakes?

Michelle answers:

They gave em to me and i ate them. Now im fat

John asks…

When cooking pork chops (or anything) in a pan with oil – how do you not burn the food? We’ve tried everything

Lowering the heat, turning frequently, etc. To not burn them, it takes forever since you’re constantly turning the food. On the Food Network, you constantly see them cooking in oil on the pan and the stuff never burns – what’s their story?

Michelle answers:

If you really have tried everything, then my only guess is that your pan isn’t as heavy as it ought to be. Thin-bottomed pans communicate very fierce heat to food and often burn them, which is why nobody dry-fries anything in a wok for longer than about 30 seconds.

The guys on the Food Network are professional cooks, they’re trained not to burn things. Never mind about them. Get yourself a heavier pan – something made of cast iron, for instance. And experiment with the heat. You want the food to brown, not burn.

Also, I hope you’re using olive oil in preference to other oils, and extra virgin in preference to ordinary olive oil. I know it’s more expensive but otherwise you might as well use butter, for all the good it’s doing you. (Incidentally, butter is much healthier for you than margarine.)

Putting a lid on something frying in a pan is insane, by the way, unless you like your pork chops steamed rather than fried. It also increases the temperature and dries out the food much quicker.

James asks…

when battering food like onion rings, should you dip it in flour before putting it in the batter?

I have been watching food network and they always dip it in flour before battering it. why do they do it? are you supposed to? my family never has, are we doing it wrong?

Michelle answers:

The flour gives the batter or breading something to stick to. Sounds funny but foods have different surfaces and the moisture content varies so greatly that a dusting of flour evens out the playing field and you will have a consistant dish. The standard breading procedure is as follows: 1.flour, 2.egg/milk and egg, 3.breadcrumbs/cormeal etc. So you will have 3 different stages of dipping.
For a batter, toss the food in some flour, then dip into batter, shaking off the excess. I also add club soda to my batters because it really does lighten it up and give it a good crunch after frying.
Good day : )

Michael asks…

here does Food Network get their plates from?

hi, i just wanted to know, you know on Iron Chef, Food Challenge or any other food challenges on Food Network? where do they get their nice and different looking plates from? they’re really nice and uniqe. for instance on Iron Chef, when theyre done they plate their food on these dishes that look so cool. is their a special company or store that sells them?

Michelle answers:

I see plenty of them at Kohls.

Your Questions About Firefox

Betty asks…

How would one export a folder within Firefox bookmarks to send as email?

Firefox allows bookmarks to be organized into folders. Does an extension, add-on, plug-in or other software exist that would allow me to export a folder within the Bookmark Toolbar parent folder so that I’m not divulging my entire bookmark library?

Michelle answers:

You need to search Firefox. New ones are added almost every day.

Sandra asks…

As soon as I start firefox, it launches one more tab with home page of flashgot. How do i stop this?

As soon as I start firefox, it launches one more tab with home page of flashgot. How do i stop this?

Michelle answers:

Open Firefox and click alt on your keyboard then a list of title menu’s come up on top of the Firefox window. Click Tools > Options > then General tab > change the homepage to either www.google.com or any other homepage and click OK then close and reopen Firefox.

Ken asks…

How do I import bookmarks from mozilla firefox to the yahoo bookmarks?

When I have my firefox browser open and I click on import, the only option that is there is to import from Explorer. I don’t get it.

Michelle answers:

Import means to bring in. When you are clicking Import in Firefox you are trying to bring in bookmarks, Internet Explorer is the only other thing on your computer with bookmarks so it tries to Import them from there.

To get your Firefox bookmarks into your Yahoo! Bookmarks you need to first EXport them. At the top of a Firefox window click Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks, then click the “Import and Backup” button at the top of the new window followed by “Export HTML…” Save the file to your desktop so it’s easy to find.

Next log in to your Yahoo! Bookmarks at http://bookmarks.yahoo.com Once you’re in click the “Tools” link at top right then click the “Import Bookmarks” link. You’ve already done Step 1 so go to Step 2 and browse for the bookmarks.html file you just saved to your desktop. After that, in Step 3 select the Y! Bookmarks folder in which you wish to save all your bookmarks (if any), then click the Import button.

When the upload is done all of your Firefox bookmarks will now be in your Yahoo! Bookmarks.

Mandy asks…

Are there any ways Firefox can incorporate Google Chrome into its web browser?

Firefox has a tab called IE tab, that can allow you to view pages in IE format. Should Firefox do the same for Google Chrome? What ideas do you have?

Michelle answers:

I just downloaded Google Chrome a minute ago, and I immediately noticed a bit that pages load up faster on Google Chrome than on my Fire Fox 3 browser. Also it seems like Wikipedia supports that claim as well. Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised since Google is all about search engines–that the team would want to maximize browsing speed also.

Within a few months Google’s new browser (in beta stage currently) should really expand. I can’t say when it will dominate, but the browser is very simplistic and yet very efficient as well!

Furthermore I’ve noticed tabs are also different from FireFox as well, as they are more towards the top of the page, and they can also be more easily dragged as well for easier managing I’m really digging the style of it as well!

Also, to answer your question about Google Chrome incorporating FireFox features, I can answer that with a yes. When I first downloaded Google Chrome, it gave me a notice that it would save all my bookmarks and any saved passwords from FireFox. After trying out Google Chrome after installation, I can assure you it really does save it all!

FireFox still is my favorite browser for Windows, but Google’s Chrome Browser is really growing on me fast. I really can’t wait for the google team to build applications for Chrome–so it will really take off!

Also.. Just beware though, that Chrome might not be as secure as Fire Fox at the moment . Supposedly people can get phished easier on Chrome then on Fire Fox, and there are a couple of security bugs that need to get fixed. A patch should fix that very soon though.

I hope this answers your questions, I did the best I could (:

Your Questions About Funbrain

Robert asks…

What’s the best way to teach basic math facts?

My daughter is going into 5th grade and I wanted to use this summer break to help her make some progress in her math facts. I have been quizzing her with flashcards a few times a day, but I need some ideas for some more variety. Anyone have any suggestions?

Michelle answers:

Besides just flashcards, you should try to make maths Fun for her so that she enjoys it & looks forward to it. She will also learn & retain more if she enjoys it. So you are absolutely right about bringing in variety.

Try to make it as interactive as possible – create problems together. Let her ask some Qs to which You will provide answers. Making up Qs helps the child understand the concept better. It also gives her relief & a sense of equality/achievement when she is not Always at the answering end. It will also provide you feedback as to the areas that may require more work.

During your household chores, or visits to the supermarket, etc., try to bring in maths problems that relate to daily life. This will bring in a practical application as well as relevance & won’t seem too boring or textual.

While baking a cake, teach her about proportions.
While shopping, teach her about discounts, etc.
While doing the laundry, measure the amount of detergent you are using, the total amount in the box & ask how long it will last or how many washes will you get out of one box.
Prepare a graph out of the daily weather forecast / temps, sun or moon rise/sunset timings, etc.
And so on.

Create crosswords using mathematical equations as clues. Solution to the clues will give her the answers to the crossword.

Use colors, toys, strings, pebbles, beads, etc. To make it more enjoyable. You can use these in place of mathematical symbols or any other way you like.

Here are a few websites you can try for more ideas & activities :

Thomas asks…

Where can I find info about classes and tutorials for elementary home school students?

We are looking into homeschooling, and would like information about classes/tutorials/activities available for homeschoolers K-4.

Michelle answers:

Are you asking for Kdg-4th grade or 4 yr old Kdg?

If your state has a virtual public school option, look into using K12 through the school district. Or, if you don’t want to go with a public school, you can use K12 on your own as an independent HS’er.

John asks…

Do you have any ideas for science and social studies curriculum for pre-k and k?

I’m hoping to find printables and good websites with free worksheets, coloring pages, etc. dealing with science and social studies. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to teach these topics and what I should start with? My children are 4 and 6 and my 6 y.o. is more like kindergarten/first grade. Any help would be appreciated.
I’ve been looking it up for awhile now. I’m hoping someone has personal experience with a website or something I’m missing.

Michelle answers:

I know this list is going to be very long, however social studies includes just about everything these day’s, and is a catch all name for multiple subjects.
These subjects can be done successfully in unit studies.

Hope these will be of some help to you.

This site does require a $20.00 yearly fee to have full use of all their printable materials, but it is well worth it.
You can check them out for free, but it is a lot of curriculum in one place.

Your Questions About Fox News

Michael asks…

How come so many say Fox News isnt news when much of it comes from the AP and shared news polls?

If you remove opinion shows, how is Fox News fake or faux?

Michelle answers:

Upon the removing of the opinion shows it is not really fake/faux at all. Its…just…NEWS! Same goes for all other news networks. Most other news networks have at least one opinion show, so if Fox News is fake/faux for having a few, than all others may as well be fake/faux.

George asks…

Do you ever get tired of being accused of watching Fox News?

I never watch TV news let alone Fox News.

Isn’t accusing someone of watching Fox News just a tactic used by people that cant back up their points with facts?

Michelle answers:

I think many of the accusations stem from the fact that Fox News will present a particular phrasing of an issue and then that exact same wording is repeated here all day and all night, as if it were a correct statement of the issue when it is obviously not. It is hardly coincidence. It is more like repeating propaganda and hence the accusations. Perhaps you are picking up the talking point wording from other conservatives and running with it.

Lizzie asks…

Why were the people on Fox News channel so solemn last night?

I watched election results on several channels last night.
Out of all of them, Fox News channel was the most depressing one of all.
I swear, everyone looked like they were attending a funeral!
And, some of them CONTINUED to be negative about Obama.

Anyone else notice this?

Thoughts?

Michelle answers:

I noticed it… Some people including Fox News and some people on the left are so caught up in the thought process of “us against them” / Dems vs Repubs or vice versa that they can not get past it.

When Bush got re-elected MSNBC & CNN were not as jolly as they were last night,,, but they still showed enthusiasm for the democratic process. Fox News, look as if some one killed there dog.

Ruth asks…

What would Fox News say if they found out Barack Obama wears Hugo Boss Cologne? How would they spin it?

Usually fox news attacks anything and everything Barack Obama does so here is the scenerio? Barack Obama tells reporters he wears Hugo boss when asked what he wears… Fast forward to 7PM Hannity is coming on Fox news, he has the info about the cologne, what do they say?

Michelle answers:

And in breaking news/ reports ; reliable sources say that the president barack obama has been charged with felonious use of hugo boss cologne-on 1 count, bail has been formally denied and it has just come to hand that the ringleader has also been arrested by swat team special under-cover agents. The ringleader charged with supply and intent- has been identified as umm errr(can we go to a break? No? Holy ,moley) ahem identified as rupert murdock, apparently he has also been charged on 10 counts = of bad taste: you are watching fox news and we need umm will have a short break.

Your Questions About Forever 21

Lizzie asks…

How long does it take for forever 21 to ship?

I bought 3 shirts and a pair of jeans from forever 21 online. School starts in one week. How long would it take to ship my items on standard shipping?

Michelle answers:

It doesn’t take too long…i think the stuff i ordered took about a week or so to get to me.

William asks…

How can i audition to be a forever 21 model?

so i was at the forever 21 website and i realized i really wanna be a forever 21 model. problem is i dont know wat to do or ow to contact the people. plz help

Michelle answers:

Forever 21 books their models through LA agencies including Ford, Elite, Photogenics, LA Models, Wilhelmina, Next, Click

So you first need to live within 100 miles of LA, then try to get into one of these agencies

Donald asks…

can items ordered online from the forever 21 plus line be returned in stores?

If I purchase an item online from Forever 21‘s plus line and it doesnt fit or I don’t like it do I have to mail it back to them or can it just be returned at any Forever 21 store? (the store in my city doesn’t carry the plus line)

Michelle answers:

You can as long as you ordered it recently. Forever 21 accepts returns within 3 weeks of the purchase date.
The local Forever didn’t used to have a Heritage collection, and they let me return a Heritage shirt that I’d bought online without any questions. 🙂
xx

Paul asks…

What store do you like better: Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters?

I’m more of a forever 21 gal, urban outfitters clothes seem a bit boring (if you look on their website) and overpriced.

Michelle answers:

Ever been to a urban outfitters store? Its waaaaaaay better than forever 21 the quality and ever thing and the clothes are better…not plain at all and its not trashy as forever 21 can be, I like its vibe waay better

Your Questions About Fafsa

Lizzie asks…

What types of aid are available from FAFSA?

Hi,
i wanted to know what type of grants are available from the FAFSA; grants that do not have to be repaid. What is the maximum in Pell Grant that a person can get?

Michelle answers:

The Table on Page 2 of this book explains all the grants available from fafsa. Including the amounts of each. The max Pell grant a person can get (when they have an EFC of 0) is 5,350 per year if they attend full time. A person who qualifies would get half of this amount in the fall and half in the spring.

Http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/FundingEduBeyondHighSchool_0910.pdf

Nancy asks…

Would i be eligible to get fafsa loan as an undergraduate married student?

Am 27 years old and planning to go back to school next year over the spring semester. Therefore I would have to quite my job or work part time if I get accepted to college… However to cover my expenses I definetly need a fafsa loan. I have two kids and my wife makes around 12000 a year. Do I still have a chance to get a loan considering all the circumtances i’ve mentioned above? Your answers would be very appreciated

Michelle answers:

The FAFSA is not a loan program. It is just a federal form most colleges, some adult ed departments of school districts, etc. Use to determine if you are eligible for grants, loans or any type of financial aid. You fill it out online and the result will tell you what your family responsibility is.

Http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/what010.htm

Charles asks…

Do I need to fill out a FAFSA to take out loans from a credit union?

My tuition is due July 30 and I still haven’t filled out my FAFSA for the 2008-2009 school year. I am just wondering if I will still be able to take out loans through my credit union.

Also- if I need to fill out a FAFSA, would I be better off taking out loans with the government or through the credit union?

Michelle answers:

Most colleges require you to have the FAFSA filled out before you will be able to take out a loan.

As for which institution to get the loan through… That is up to you. The most important factor to consider is whether or not the loan you are getting is subsidized or unsubsidized.

It is best to take the subsidized loans first (because the government pays the interest while you are in school) and use unsubsidized loans for whatever amount is leftover, if any.

Daniel asks…

Do you need to fill out a FAFSA to apply for scholarships?

I know in the state of Florida, you need to fill out a FAFSA to apply for student loans, but is that the same for scholarships? Because unfortunately I am in the position where I can not fill out a FAFSA. Has anyone had to go through this before, does anyone one have some helpful information? If you know any good scholarship programs please share! It’s hard to find the right ones.

Michelle answers:

You full out FAFSA to get Federal Financial Aid, not loans. You can go to www.FastWeb.com for a free scholarship search.

Your Questions About Facebook Login

Laura asks…

How do I integrate Facebook in my Joomla site?

How do I add a Facebook login, facebook like, and facebook comments to my Joomla website? I want to skip the normal Joomla user login with a “login with Facebook” button.

You should use the Facebook Connect for the Facebook Login. There are Joomla extensions for every single Facebook functionality you can think of. The integration can be a bit tricky.

We can help you with that as we have been working on Joomla websites for a long time now (and we did the Facebook integration for many of our clients). See: http://www.itoctopus.com/joomla

Donna asks…

How do you keep a website account secret?

So that no one finds out about it. Also the one I’m talking about is linked to my Facebook login just so you know.

Michelle answers:

You can change the privacy to “only me.”

Linda asks…

Trying to log into facebook but the last person who used my computer, their profile comes out instead.?

I’ve rebooted my computer and still cannot log in. I’ve googled facebook login and clicked on it and still her profile comes out.

Michelle answers:

Depends on you.

You want to login into your account – logout from that other and your done.

You see a change to sniff around in the other account – you do it.

You choose. And – what is your question !

Your Questions About Fedex

Donald asks…

How can I get a job in fedex as a delivery driver in Orlando , Fl.? Does anybody Know a contractor?

I would like to know requirements and exact information about how to get a job at fedex as a delivery package driven a small trucks ( class E driver license?
Does anibody knows a contractor in fedex who needs a driver to delivery packages?

Michelle answers:

It depends on what branch of FedEx you would like to work for. There is fedex ground and fedex express. If you want to get a job at fedex express, then go to the fedex website and search careers and they will post all open positions. The driver position is very competitive so be ready for a long process including backround checks and drug testing. Fedex is an awesome company to work for so good luck.

Sharon asks…

How long does Priority Mail or FedEx take to ship stuff?

I have a dance tournament in 6 days. I need to order this one Irish Dance Wig. How long does Priority Mail or FedEx take to ship stuff?
I’m an Irish Dancer by the way.

Michelle answers:

I would go with a 2 day from Fedex, priority mail doesn’t guarantee a delivery date, a 2nd day shipment with Fedex will arrive by 4pm on the second business day. It won’t be picked up till at least monday though…Check the different stores, some have later pickup times than others.

Richard asks…

What type of job with FedEx or UPS is entry level?

I am currently a mail handler for my unit in the military. I want my experience to transfer over to the civilian world. Can any FedEx or UPS employees tell me what is an entry level position I should apply for when I get closer to leaving the Service?

Michelle answers:

At UPS you would be required to work in the warehouse before you could be made a route driver. The drivers are company employees and have benefits.

At FedEx “package handler” would probably be the entry level position. Express drivers are company employees and have benefits. Ground and Home Delivery are contractors or the employees of contractors. Many contractors are unable to provide benefits to their employees. You are required to have – for any FedEx driving job – six months of verifiable commercial driving experience within the past three years.

Good luck, and thank you for your service!

Mary asks…

how do i get my FedEx package re-routed to a FedEx store for pickup rather than my home address?

i need my package sent to a fed ex staffed location b/c it needs a signature to recieve. i won’t be home to accept and sign for it, so i need it sent to a fedex store to be picked up at my convenience. how would i go about doing this? i have the tracking info and everything.

Michelle answers:

First off call 1 800 Go Fedex (1-800-463-3339) or call the information number in your city to get the local Fedex station where you are . Understand that the only person who can change a direct signature requirement is the person who shipped the package. You should call them and ask them to have Fedex change the requirement if you really want Fedex to release the package at your home.

Does the tracking number show the location (station) where your package is at? If it does call that station and ask them to hold your package. They will do so and you can go pick it up that day. You have to do this before the courier takes it on road for delivery. Call before 7 a.m. Or you will miss the courier.

Fedex will hold the package at a station for you but you must have your identification with you. They will not let someone else sign for it.

Call them first thing in the morning.

What’s the difference between Friends Reunited and Facebook and which one do you prefer?
