Charging more when using a debit/credit card?
Normal or not, right or wrong, it's illegal.
Food in San Miguel de Allende
I abree, IslaTom. I too think the the food in SMA is good but nothing to right home about.
Stopping the Cling Wrap from moving on the bench?
Good idea. Could you do the same thing with a metal ruler?
Should I buy an egg coddler?
How do you transfer them from the strainer to ... whatever... without messing them up?
What do you do with "Hot Dog Water"?
What a great idea! Think I'll do that with my recipe for hot dog risotto.
How many times a year should my knives get sharpened?
Now that really depends, doesn't it. On your knives, your knife skills, what you use them for, and how often you use them.
Best SMALL toaster oven?
Check out Breville brand. They have three models, essentially a small, medium and a large, each with somewhat different features. We have the "large" and love it, probably too big for you though. Check the dimensions and features of the other models. If you find one that meets your needs, you'll love it.
Unread posts
I like the unread posts tab just the way it is. I especially like the mark all topics as read feature. When unread posts isn't working I select Cowhound at the top which defaults to unread posts but lacks the mark as read feature.
Since you've waded into these muddy waters. I find the Following/Reading List feature incomprehensible and useless.

I sure didn't read that in your reference.
Also, are you really suggesting that the problem didn't exist when it was first reported back in September? that it started afterwards?
Steak Knife Recommendations?
This week i bought a set (4) non-serrated Sabatier high-carbon stainless steel steak knives at Bed Bath & Beyond for $9.99. Needed some steak knives but also bought them to practice sharpening knives and figured I can start with these before moving on to our other, more expensive knives.
Can't access unread posts
Keep getting an error message when I try to access unread posts from my profile tabs (following - unread posts.). Been like that all week.
Anyone know if Giant discontinued Simply Enjoy Dark Chocolate Amaretto Coated Cranberries?
Why not ask Giant the next time you go there?
Stocking a Hunting Cabin
Done this for years and there's no other way. You have to plan meals for every day.
breakfasts: always coffee, milknand juices. One day, bacon and eggs, another day, pancakes, etc
Lunches: everybody on their own every day. have lunch meats and breads, mustard, mayo, etc., and canned soups, and soft drinks.
dinner: A different dinner every night. First night, a huge pot of chili. Enough for leftovers all during the week, when people get hungry late in the night, and/or to warm up for lunch. (a crock pot would work for lots of other things too. Salad and/ or veggies every night.
Grilled steaks, baked or mashed potatoes, veggies another night.
Fish they catch at least one night, hopefully. Etc.
Munchies: pretzels, potato chips, pop corn, dips. Especially for cocktail hour, but also for poker playing, etc.
Lots of freezer baggies for multiple purposes. A first aid kit. Flashlights, a battery operated radio, plenty of batteries. Etc.
Don't forget paper towels and garbage bags and lots of toilet paper!
Gravlax (split from General Chowhounding Topics board)
How long do you leave it in the refrigerator with Saran Wrap and another smaller dish on top?
Milk Question
"So, yes, because the milk is not labeled as coming from cows who are not treated..."
I've never seen such a label on milk.
pressure cooker: replace the teflon pot w/ Stainless S
Why not simply line your teflon pot with aluminum foil?
