Home Economics 101

Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.

But remember, always play by the rules: here

    The only time I cook my veggies first is when I'm using the "Steamfresh" type microwave bags of veggies - it helps to get the temperature of the other contents warm faster, and shortens cooking time.

    If, however, you're going to slow cook for HOURS, no need.

    Nah, they can't go from frozen to piping hot and still play host to breeding bacteria. They aren't going to be in the right temperature range nearly long enough for that.
