What is the correct way to store bacon grease/drippings for cooking later?
I fry bacon every weekend and save the grease to fry food later in the week. (Waste not want not!) I continually add bacon grease to a dedicated mason jar with a tight lid and keep it in the refrigerator. Is this correct? How long will it last this way? How often should I discard the whole jar and r...
Now that Yahoo Answers is dead, who will answer crazy questions?
Today is the last day anyone is allowed to post new questions to Yahoo Answers, so where will the totally clueless questioners go? I'm not talking about people with thoughtful questions or even homework issues -- I mean the askers who wonder, "Do you think humans will ever walk on the Sun?" or "Why ...
Where can I find a good resource for learning how to bind your own books?

What's the best way to find hidden gem unadvertised lodging?
AirBnB is great and all the big hotel shopping sites will turn up high-quality lodging. But I know for a fact that there are amazing places that go unadvertised. I once stayed in a fantastic b&b in the middle of nowhere Colorado that was the best place I ever stayed in my life -- and I only disc...
Is a traditional siphon the safest way to clean an aquarium with delicate fish?
My aquarium is full of rare fish that I love like any other pets and I want them to be safe and healthy. When I clean the aquarium with a siphon, I'm always afraid one of the fish will get sucked up into the tube and injured. Fish aren't so smart, so it's entirely possible for them to get confused a...
Property Management agreed that I will pay utilities without asking
I have a couple units in the same market. The first unit I got signed with a PM and have been very happy with them. Standard stuff, tenant pays all utilities. Water and Sewer must be in my name, but the tenant is sent a bill each month. I have had zero issues with this unit or the PMs. I brought a s...
In a mosaic novel, every chapter is part of a linear story told by a different narrator. If you repeat a narrator, is it still a mosaic?
My novel is following the mosaic format with a different perspective in each chapter, but one narrator was repeated. What format is it now? Is it just a compilation of short stories? Since the chapters need to be read in order and wouldn't work individually, I tend to think it isn't. ...

Do yardlong beans have different growing requirements than other pole beans?
I grew yardlong beans last year with moderate success. They were indeed very long and I harvested three times in the summer, but I underestimated how long the vines would be, so all I had on hand was a shepherd's hook. What type of trellis do yardlong beans need? Do they need a different kind of fer...
