I did some ski jumping in high school. The 40m hill that belongs to Dartmouth College in NH is the biggest one I ever flew on. It seemed a whole lot bigger than the 30m I jumped before it. It was always a blast!
- Bill Scherer
I visited the ski jump in Innsbruck a year after the '76 Olympics were held there. You could take a bus up the mountain, then walk to the top of the jump hill and even part way up the jump ramp. From way up there on the the ramp, when you gazed down over the edge at the city so far below. One thing stood out from everything else: a cemetery. I couldn't imagine going down the steep ramp on skis and then jumping into space with my eyes focused on a cemetery, but that's what they did!

Vintage Revereware. Not the easiest things to clean when food gets burned in them but they're a nostalgic fave. I have one Lodge skillet which I'm less than impressed with because it was supposed to be "seasoned" yet it wasn't like it was non-stick even with seasoning. I wasn't raised with cast iron stuff so it's still a frustrating mystery to me.

No friggin' clue. I think my 2-quart stainless pot is RevereWare. We use it for almost everything (boiling tea on the stove, making mac and cheese, etc.). Other than that, I honestly can't remember what the other pots and pans are. They are all the same brand (we got one set of pots and pans for our wedding about 7-1/2 years ago, and got another set for Christmas 2 or 3 years ago), but I can't, for the life of me, remember what brand they are.

Lindsay, we got rid of our Circulon because it was so hard to actually keep clean. Food always seemed to get stuck in the little grooves. The stainless stuff we have now is so much easier to clean.
- Kenton
All-Clad and Le Crueset. This stuff works great, cleans easy, lasts forever.
- Bill Scherer
uhhh Le Crueset is high on my wishlist. Only problem would be that it ties me even more to the stove. Bette's wrists don't like the heavy cast iron stuff too much.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Analon/Calphalon is good, middle-of-the-road, non-stick cookware. Le Crueset is great stuff...but a little salty in price for me. Tramontina is good stuff too, but a little more pricey.
- FF's Bubba of Arizona
I adore my Green Pans! http://www.green-pan.com/ They cook very evenly and well, are nonstick but without PTFEs (which kill birds), and are incredibly easy to clean. I would marry them and have GreenPan babies if I could.

I love Cool Whip, but real whipped cream is far superior in every way (except for the fact that you have to actually make real whipped cream, and with Cool Whip you can just pull it out of a tub). I made some homemade whipped cream for the pumpkin pie we had left over from Thanksgiving, and it rules. I would love to get one of those cool CO2 cans that automatically whips the cream, like they have in some coffee bars.

I'm sad to say that over the past weekend, I saw a member of my family use cool whip (and generic cool whip, at that) instead of whipped cream. Craziness!

I often turn to Dream Whip, in place of Cool Whip. At least it has MILK in it, not just OIL!
- Ladybug Heather
Dream Whip is that powdered stuff. I used to mix a packet of that in with a box of cake mix before adding the wet ingredients. Made bigger fluffier cakes. (that was before I learned how to bake a cake from scratch) I don't classify that in the same category with either whipped cream or Cool Whip.

If you have a stand mixer, it's not really much harder to make whipped cream.

I'll take either. Just as long as it's white and has sugar.
- Rodfather
I thought you were all talking about Miracle Whip for a second. Kraft make too many "whip" products
- Bryce Roney
and on the subject of mock cream, nothing beats real whipped cream - it's not that hard to make all you need is some thickened cream, sugar and an electric beater
- Bryce Roney
Real cream wins! Or else the Cool Whip peeps are just not commenting. I always make more whipped cream than I need and use my teaspoon scoop (the one with the little thingy in it that pushes the cream out when you squeeze the handle) to put dollops on a cookie sheet, put it in the freezer, then after they are set, stick them in a bag. Perfect for hot chocolate... but my kids sometimes get caught sneaking them straight to their mouths.
- Trish Haley
Thank you, Bryce. Cooks have been doing this for years and some do it with a hand crank beater or a whisk(as I switched over to years ago). Just put the bowl and whisk in the freezer for 5 minutes. Get some good heavy cream and make sure its got a good fresh date
- Melanie Reed
Trish, Yeah, I like the dollop trick too. And yes, I have caught myself eating them straight from the freezers as well. ;)
- Melanie Reed
I'll go out on a limb here, since I know I'm in the minority, but I like Cool Whip...in fact, Fat Free Cool Whip...because I count calories & fat grams, so FF CW is fine with me. Since I'm used to it, I find that real whipped cream is too rich for me.

In the past couple of weeks, the tap water at my house has gotten very bad. The shower smells like a swimming pool, and it's unpleasant to drink. Anyone have experience/recommendations with whole-house water filters?
Jeff P. Henderson, April Buchheit, Amir and 6 other people liked this
Does it smell like sulfur? We had this happen a while back and it was the hot water tank lining. If it breaks there is some harmless bacteria that can get in there. Test this by checking the hot water running and see if it smells/tastes different than the cold only running.
- Jason Shellen
It sounds like your municipal water is having a hard time staying in spec and is dumping in chlorine to keep the bacteria down.
- Clare Dibble
hope this can help http://www.consumersearch.com/water-f...
- chaz2b
I'm pretty sure it's some kind of chlorine compound since it smells like a swimming pool and is in the cold water.
- Paul Buchheit
and it just ruined my cup of tea -- I had to pour it away and startover with filtered water :(
- Paul Buchheit
It would be expensive to put a whole house filter on to remove the chlorine. I have a small Reverse Osmosis system. Any tap water that will be consumed comes from the RO system. The fish is happy in it too! I got mine here: http://jimstrains.com/page...
- Bill Scherer
looking into it (i had never thought about putting the whole house on filtration) i see the costs range from $700-$7,000 (basically speaking) and i bet you can get govt rebates too, so its not as costly as i first thought
- chaz2b
My mom has a whole house filter system and loves it (definitely on the lower end of the price spectrum quoted above). It helps reduce mineralization in her various water fixtures in addition to removing that pool smell (she couldn't take a shower without her eyes watering).
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
We have 2 water filters. Whole house by Purwater FHT-384 http://www.purwater.com $75 (installed at water main in basement) and a 5 stage osmosis unit by Watts Premier https://www.wattspremier.com/product... $200 (installed under sink with spigot). For the whole house filter, be sure to get the higher end filters made with carbon that filter out "scale" deposits (best quality)
- Susan Beebe
Maybe you should have that water tested to know exactly what's going on?
- Sean McBride
Have you been getting a lot of rain where you are? Sometimes they'll increase the chlorine because of run-off. Not likely to do damage to you, but it's still foul.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
In Ft Lauderdale we got a notice in our last water bill that they were going to be dumping extra chlorine in the water most of this month. I found a website that deals with this subject extensively http://safeusawater.com They don't sell anything, just provide info. I emailed them the notice I got and they put it on their site so they are pretty responsive.
- Victor
Victor, that site seems to be a referred funnel (they sell your info): "4) We route your request to 3 Water Quality Professionals in our exclusive network. We work with only the most reputable and experienced companies. 5) You will be contacted directly by Qualified Professionals who will provide you with a free price quote. You decide which company you will work with."
- Paul Buchheit
Whatever you go with, think about dropping a line to your water district. If you can smell that much chlorine, that isn't good for people to be drinking. They should be held to account for that.
- Spidra Webster
This seems to be the only whole-house filter around: http://www.aquasana.com/product... (though maybe I'm not looking in the right place)

Have you ever fallen asleep on a train and missed your destination or simply got on the wrong train? Where did you end up? What is a long way?

Question inspired from my comment here: http://ff.im/bqadP

Thankfully I don't think I've ever got on the wrong train and I can't sleep on trains anyway.
- Kol Tregaskes
Wrong train once; realised after about three stops and was able to rectify the situation. Fallen asleep coming back from London (Kol, you just need to drink more to do this) but since the end of the line was one stop further than where I wanted to get off it wasn't a big deal either.

Not exactly.. I've woken up at the station *before* mine, convinced that it was my stop and scrambled off the train, only to have that, "Oh, bollocks" moment as the train pulled slowly away from the platform...
- Andrew Terry
That picture is awesome. And yes, I've fallen asleep on the bus several times missing my stop. I've gotten on wrong buses working on auto-pilot, forgetting I needed to take a different line.

I didn't fall asleep and miss my stop, but I did miss my stop because I was talking to someone.

Oh yeah.In my case I was simply lost in thought and totally missed the stop. Fortunately I got off at the next station and caught the train back. Was only 20 minutes late for my lecture ( but nearly 40 minutes later than i usually get in)

Nope. I can't sleep on trains.

Distracted by card games, several of us managed to not only miss our stop, we ended up back at the station we started at. Therefore missed our connections (the last of the night), rerouted through another city, and ended up getting home, changing, and going straight to work the next day. Not good.

I can sleep on the way in to Grand Central Terminal, because it's the last stop so I can't miss it. On the way home I worry about missing my stop, so I usually don't fall asleep.
- Bill Scherer
I've definitely missed a stop, being sound asleep (long and early commute). The other times that I fell asleep due to too much drink, for some reason, I woke up just in time to get off at my stop. Although that one time, i wasn't looking too pretty with my glasses all askew and drool on my chin as I stumbled off the train. Good times.

Steven - I fall asleep on trains very very easily. :)
