You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

The Cooks' Illustrated banana bread recipe uses plain yogurt and lemon, and I love it--it adds a bit of tartness and a lot of moisture to the bread. It's my go-to recipe now.

I have definitely done some low-class humidifying with pans of water boiling on the stove and/or sitting on top of radiators.

When I lived in LA I had a tiny apartment without any heat, and I could heat it by putting a big pot of water on one of my two little gas burners and letting it boil until my windows steamed up.

I have both of those ingredients! I think I might have chocolate chips though, too.

I used to have an awesome recipe that included a tablespoon or so of orange juice concentrate.

Reason to clean is that the water ends up with particles. So cleaning consist of taking it to the sink, adding dish soap, filling up to replace water boiled off, dumping soapy water, rinsing out soap, and drying - sort of like minimally cleaning a pot.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing something with the tangerine juice and some orange zest. Hmmmm. I'd love that but my kids wouldn't touch it. The picky little ingrates!

Would using distilled water take care of that problem?

I hope all the vaporizer users are cleaning them frequently. They're breeding grounds for Legionnaire's disease and assorted fungi.
