by John Davis Jr. The day our kitchen blew up, the whole neighborhood had to stop by and ask questions. They ranged from the ignorant, like, "Was there an explosion?" to the inquisitive: "What happened over here?" Either way, my mother was as polite as she could be, then she casually escorted curiosity-seekers back down our driveway. My mom was a very experienced cook, and she owned a thick metal hand-me-down pressure cooker, which once was her grandmother's. The rubber seal, which sat firmly between the lid and the pot of the cooker, had seen its better days, however. It was starting to crack and peel in places, though it still largely remained intact. Being a kitchen veteran, my mother had pressured everything from poultry to beef, starches to vegetables. And that day, the meal order was green beans, otherwise known as pole beans. We were, after all, a good southern family, and what would Sunday dinner be without green beans? She had placed all...

by Mei Galang Have you ever wondered why your favorite dish, with a general recipe, taste different when cooked by different individuals? Cooking may be a common skill for most people but their different lifestyles will require them different styles of cookwares.

They might save few bucks but the quality of the end product may be diminished beca...

By Josh Neumann Home water filter systems are crucial to your health. Anyone can survive without food for 48-72 hours, but certainly not without water. There has been a lot of discussions recently about tap water and its' potential adverse health effects. This is due to the enormous amount of sediment and bacteria that seep through. If you find yourself with a lot of gas, believe it or not, the problem may not be your diet but the tap water you consume. Often times, a sickness derived from H20 can be untreatable and sometimes lead to death. Therefore, a home water purifier is a must to maintain good health. Believe it or not, Chlorine does not remove all the harmful chemicals in your water. In fact, there are 140 different bacteria that have been found in the tap water in most cities for which the EPA has done nothing to remove. Generally, the majority of home water filter systems are quite efficient, but consumers are very often persuaded to purchase a system for mo...

by Ernest Jarquio Small kitchen remodeling is a challenge even for the most savvy of home owners. You may have little to work with but big ideas of what you want. By using a few tricks you can give your room a look of spaciousness. Get Flooring Patterns that Emphasize Contrasts Start with the flooring. Use flooring that is attractive and easily kept new-looking. Marble flooring is one example, and it will be less expensive for you since you have less floor space to cover. Another example is a durable linoleum floor. You can get patterns that emphasize contrasts, like black and white checkered designs. Designs that are too busy will not work for your small kitchen, though, because this will create an atmosphere of confusion. The best arrangement of cabinets and appliances for a small kitchen space is the galley kitchen style. This means that you put everything on two sides of a center aisle. In a cozy kitchen, everything is more orderly if you can move quickly across the ...

by Michael Goldberg All families should keep a fire extinguisher in their home. However, there are different kinds of fire extinguishers for different kinds of fires. Having a basic understanding of fires and fire extinguishers can help prevent damaging flames and can even save lives. Fires have four elements in order to exist. They must have oxygen, heat, a chemical reaction and fuel. In order to successfully extinguish a fire, one of these elements must be taken away, that is, extinguished. There are five different classes of fires. These fires are lettered A, B, C, D and K. Each of these fires has a different fuel.
