All of the 4 rings on my gas cooker seem to be too strong/hot. It is nearly impossible to simmer food on any of the rings - everything just boils. Anyone know why this might be and whether there is...
I was making a veg curry a couple of nights ago and the recipe said to add natural yoghurt. I did this but I think the yoghurt might have 'split' because instead of it adding a creaminess, it seemed...
I have a couple of recipes which I am interested in making. One includes brown lentils and the other paella rice. After a quick visit to Tesco last week I couldn't find either. Can I substitute either...

My puppy (approx 5 months old) seems to have very 'sensitive' shoulders. When I pet her left shoulder her head turns left and she leans left slightly. The same happens on her right side. It doesn't...

My sister recently had figs in a dessert when we were out for a meal and she really loved them. I then saw a recipe on This Morning for lightly pickled figs which I thought I would make her as an...
I have stopped receiving email notification when someone responds to a question that I have posted. I posted questions to see how to get it resolved with no luck. I then phoned answerbank who told me...
I heard part of a discussion on Radio 2 yesterday about xmas cards not being delivered because the stamps didn't cover the postal costs (following the recent change in postal charges). I know that the...

. . . to a house which has other cats? I have a little cat which I am hoping to rehome. I have narrowed the interested parties down to 2 options however both of them already have cats. I have only...
A little cat adopted us approx 3 months ago. On the first day that she arrived, without prompting, after she ate a belly full of grub, she sat on my lap and fell asleep. We think she was badly abused...
