Probably stupid questions but....

As you might know I'm not American or even have english as my native tongue. This just might allow me to ask you some really stupid questions *lol*:
1. What is beef jerky. I know beef, but jerky????
2. What is granola???
3. How are lined curtains made? Do they stop draft?

I printed out the whole thread with your 10 best moneysaving tips. I learned a lot but just had to ask the questions above

Not stupid questions at all.

Beef jerky is meat that is cut thin, marinaded in sauce and then dehydrated to preserve it. It's really very good. Tough, chewy but good.

Granola is a mixture of grains and nuts (like oats and almonds, etc)

Lined curtains are curtains that have 2 layers. You see the outside layer but there is another behind it (usually of a satin-y type material) and yes they do help cut down on drafts.

The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. So go ahead and ask .

There is never anything wrong with asking questions if you don't know something. I always say it's the right thing to do!

If it helps (I don't know where you're from) but groanola is sort of similar to Muesli... the same basic idea anyways.

Where are you originally from? I'm sure I would have a bazillion questions for you!!! There are no stupid questions. I've been here my whole life and I'm sure I could find WAY more than three things that I haven't a clue about.
