Quick soak beans - keep or throw away the ‘pot liquor’

I’ve read that you should drain away the water because they contain so much starch …

I’ve read that any good cook knows to hold onto it as a base for soups …

Trying to avoid the usual after-affect of consuming beans …

Air fryer sat on hot glass stove top and melted a little

Seeking help for rescuing the glass top, or a clear understanding that this is too late to repair.

Last night, I fried burgers, sister was operating air fryer for fries. She mistakenly sat the air fryer basket (plastic) on the burner I had used for the burgers. I noticed it 3-5 minutes later (see pics).

Any suggestions for removing the melted plastic from the glass stove top? or is it screwed?

TIA for any helpful advice.

Sugar free recipes?

Hi All - just found this group, after purchasing a machine that extracts and decarbs to make butter, and other goodies.

I’m diabetic, and have access to stevia, splenda, alulose.

I’d be grateful for recipes, tips you’ve found when cooking with those ingredients. I often will use half sugar, and half 0-2 carb sweetener.

TIA, be well!

Want clover to replace current weed/grass/bermuda in front yard

We have a small fenced area in front yard, for the dogs. This fenced front yard sits in middle of approx 1 acre, covered with Bermuda grass, and some weeds.

We want to convert to clover, and seeking advice on how to do that cheaply and efficiently.

One sister suggested a ‘weed & feed’ and then lay down cardboard, in mid-late fall. Seed with clover early spring. Another suggested not using a ‘weed & feed’ and lay down heavy paint paper instead of cardboard (due to chemicals in cardboard).

Have you undertaken such a project? What worked, what did not? Sources for information are gratefully received. TIA.

Buccees sues small businesses for screwy copyright infringement

On the July 26 episode of "Last Week Tonight," Oliver detailed Buc-ee's penchant for suing small businesses whose logos feature cartoon animals, even when they bear very little or no resemblance to Buc-ee's famous – and trademarked – grinning beaver logo.

Oliver ended the episode by daring Buc-ee's to pick on a company its own size and positioned his show and network as a potential target.
"Buc-ee's loves to sue other companies, particularly those with animal mascots," Oliver said in the episode, noting the chain has filed over a dozen lawsuits over the years and threatened more. Oliver also points out Buc-ee's has won almost all of the cases because the other companies usually opt to settle and redesign their logos or just fold completely because, as Oliver points out, "most just don't have the resources to fight a company this big."

Oliver goes on to quote one legal expert who said Buc-ee's should be careful with this strategy because the more you sue these smaller companies, the higher the chance you might run into one who has the means to fight back.
"And that is where we come in," Oliver said in the segment. "Because it turns out, we very much have the will to get into a fight with Buc-ee's."

During the segment, Oliver reintroduces Mr. Nutterbutter, a 7-foot-tall squirrel mascot originally created for a 2017 segment taking aim at former coal executive Bob Murray, which resulted in an unsuccessful defamation lawsuit against the show and HBO.
The show created a cartoon logo of Mr. Nutterbutter that looks similar to the Buc-ee's logo and put the logo on a variety of products, including tumblers, hats, shirts, onesies, mugs and pajamas, among other items.

The items are available for purchase for a limited time at Buc-Off.com, Oliver says in the segment, with all profits going to Hunger Free America, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to end domestic hunger.
"So, if any prominent gas station chain out there has an issue with our new logo and products and wants to get lawyers involved, then you know what? Bring it the f--- on. Although remember, in doing so, you'd be directly taking food out of hungry people's mouths," Oliver says in the segment.

Buc-ee's did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY request for comment.

Those shallot should not be consumed, correct? The outer layers are fine … but is it contaminated by the interior rot?

Anyone try Better Than Bullion “Better Than Marinade”?

Advice to reheat lamb chops?

My sister made these fantastic lamb chops the other day. They were pan fried, simple salt and pepper prep. She made a gravy and mashed potatoes, it was fantastic!
Now, trying to figure out how to reheat the lamb chops without drying them out. I can put them in vacuum seal and boiling water, but I have no idea how to measure their temp that way.

Any help? TIA

Seeking ideas on Beef Plate Ribs Baby Style

Does this Paw Paw tree sapling look ok?

I recall reading about paw paw fruit when I lived on West Coast, and jumped at the opportunity to buy one to plant on my sister’s land.
Now, it’s been in the ground for 2 weeks and is not looking any better.
Do I need to cut away the darker areas (my hand with stubby fingers outline area)?

I planted this in a hole approximately 18” deep and 18” across. Filled with a mix of topsoil, compost, worm castings, and clay that came out of said hole.
TIA for any insight.
