I bought a water carbonating machine and then wanted to carbonate other liquids. I bought a Drinkmate from Home Depot (99.00) and have carbonated wine, coffee and diet cranberry drink so far. Fabulous results except for the coffee foaming when I sweetened it. If you use something similar, please tell me what you are making bubbly and how it works for you. Looking for new ideas. BTW, the cranberry with a shot of vodka is halfway to a Cosmo.

My answer was "I believe the life of Christ demonstrates love for others, compassion for the disenfranchised, food for the hungry, shelter for the wanderers and homeless, education for children, and healing of the sick. For some reason, treating others as you would be treated is now, in the U.S., considered liberal or even radical." Is this a bug or a feature?

In Genesis 1:27-28 (KJV) it says: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

So God tasked man with having sex, having children, and multiplying to cover the earth with mankind. Obviously, sex was central to this command. Yet when the Roman church and theology got involved, sex became something shameful and secretive. What happened?

I went through all the steps cooking raw rice with butter and onion, reducing white wine vinegar then white wine, adding chicken stock and covering it with buttered parchment paper and baking it at 350° for 15 minutes. Wife reheated some in the microwave and it lost some of it's wonderfulness. Anyone know how to reheat this dish so it tastes the same as new?

I saw a recipe for cinnamon roll cookies, where sheets of sugar cookie dough were rolled out, covered with brown sugar and cinnamon and rolled up to make cookies. I have my problems gaging how thick/thin the dough is rolled and wonder if I can use a machine to make uniform relatively thin sheets.

I have a crepe baker that you dip in crepe batter (in a pie pan) then cook the batter that sticks by turning the appliance over. If you have a very low carb recipe, please include. Thanks.

Abolish Abortion Florida has initiated a petition drive to amend the Florida Constitution making seeking or performing an abortion Murder in the First Degree, punishable by Death. Is this congruent with a religion that promotes a Loving God?

The recipe for Great Value Crunchy Peanut Butter has changed, and it's messing me up. I'd like to find a grocer who is still using their previous co-packer so my Christmas Cookie recipes will still work. The new recipe has significantly more fat and sugar in the peanut butter, and no longer has a deep peanut taste.

Albertson's used to have the same product in their private label brand, but they and Food Lion have left the state (Florida). Any help in finding some of the original good stuff would be appreciated.

I have a serious cooking gadget habit, and just bought a 36" flat top griddle. I tried to season it with olive oil, and got the top center to 525°, but the edges didn't color at all. Will a heating torch or some other method help me get the whole top the same color? Its too big to fit in my oven like a cast iron skillet. It pretty much works as it is, but i't ugly.

Kathie Lee Gifford, in a Sirius Radio interview today, said she is NOT religious, but deeply spiritual and a follower of Christ and believer in scripture. Do you also believe that theology and organized religion obscure and denigrate the life of Christ, and that His life should lead Christian thought and action? Does the church have any positive influence i leading a Christian life?

Last week my wife convinced me to eat at McDonald's. I ate a Big Tasty at McDonald's in Vincennes, France. It's one of the best hamburgers I've ever had. About a third pound of really good beef, fully dressed with fries to die for. An espresso and a Macaron for dessert, it was a great meal. A little over 20euro for two, but really worth it. The one a few blocks away in Florida serves crap.

Anyone else notice that the maintenance budget for Answers has fallen to something like $0.87 a week lately?

In Food and Drink, only the first five questions are less than a week old.
