proportions were all kept in equal ratios, the dish would turn out the

of waste would appear to me to be insignificant

anything about the cost). Powders, it all rests
on how much sacrifice you're willing to undertake
for the sake of ecology and savings. Thinking back
on last time I used powders, my guess would be an
added cost of at most ten seconds using the powder.

I'll stick with the tablets; they weigh a lot less than a big box of
powder. The weight factor is a big consideration for me.

The way I'd cope would be to get Stephen to decant
a box of powder into maybe pint containers, which
would be more manageable.

I'd rather dishwasher wash with no detergent at
all than one of the pillows.

Does it matter what brand is used?

So far as I've eperienced, all of the pillows
stink. Most liquids but not all powders do as
well. If it were up to me, something labelled
fragrance-free would be the ideal.

That is not an endorsement for everyday overuse
of the stuff. Toxic waste cleanup is an emergency
situation. I question, too, that the net effect of
using the stuff is beneficial at all. Do the
rescued animals go on to live a normal life
(doubtful), and what's the eventual effect of all
that additional cleanser on the local ecology (I'm
betting on negative).

Ask a scientist, not me. (G)

It's doubtful that scientists have explored
this avenue yet - not just because they're
shortsighted (largely true), but such a study
would not be financially profitable.

This looks good but I'd use extra sharp cheese, whole wheat flour and
maybe a bit of mustard.

On, yeah, the sharpest Cheddar available.
Mustard, well, maybe.

Hi Michael,

If it doesn't become a Procrustean bed,
equality is something to be aimed for.
Inflammatory rhetoric aside, there's
nothing wrong with liberating every sort
of people to more or less the same degree.

But really, not a good place to discuss this so I'll end it on my

part.

Some people can only cook that way.

My handful is probably about a quarter cup, maybe 1/3. If it were an
ingredient I liked, and it didn't matter to the recipe, I'd add a bit
more also--like kicking up the spicing on a number of things.

As long as those people weren't offended--realising your visual problems
lead to a "whoops, you're not who I thought you were" moment.

I'm still sticking with the tablets, and will understand if you rinse
dishes before using them.

I've been sticking with Finish.

So far as I've eperienced, all of the pillows
stink. Most liquids but not all powders do as

These are sealed in a dissolving wrap, very little smell to them. But
yes, fragrance free would be best.

It adds just a bit of something extra. I usually add a bit of spicy
brown mustard (the main one we buy) to macaroni & cheese.
