    As I was pouring water for a friend and myself, I had a sudden cleaning attack and took it apart to scrub it real quick. My friend looked at me with such disbelief - not b/c I was taking the time to wash it "right then" - but when she said "You're supposed to wash those?!" that I just about...

    Does anyone know the difference between the two--besides price? I make this Luscious Coconut Bread with macadamias and a ton of coconut. I add 1 c. of coconut milk to make it more luscious but a can of coconut milk is expensive--like 3 bucks. Recently I was in Big Lots and also the salvage...
